Neil Patrick Harris is an American actor, director, magician, and musician. He played the role of Bart Simpson in the made-for-television film Blood on the Blackboard: The Bart Simpson Story.

History

The film announcer introduced him as "TV's Doogie Howser". In sharp contrast to actual events, the films depicted Bart murdering Principal Skinner in cold blood while a frightened Fat Tony tried to talk him out of it.

He has also been punned on in a couple of episodes:

• "Flaming Moe", after Moe makes over his bar into the gay-friendly "Mo's", he owns a dog named Neil Patrick Hairless (punning Harris's name).
• "Homer the Father", while watching the Tube Town television channel, Homer sees a show called Supreme Courtney, which is a spoof of Doogie Howser, M.D.

Behind the Laughter

At the time the episode aired, his best known role was as the title character in Doogie Howser, M.D., he has since enjoyed a successful acting career and currently stars in How I Met Your Mother.
