Neil Patrick Harris serves as a constant reminder for people never to ask their parents how they met. If the story is anything like the one which was told on 'How I Met Your Mother' - in which Harris starred - it will probably drag on for years and then end disappointingly, having lost all its steam halfway through the tale. Harris shouldn't be defined by the show, though - he's an immensely gifted actor, having won as many awards for his appearances on stage as he has on-screen.
Aside from his charm and skill, Harris has always struck us as an intelligent man. Is his wit sharp enough for him to be the Riddler from the animated version of 'Batman?' We only as because if you put a little green hat on him, along with a cute purple eye mask, you're basically looking at the same person. We didn't have Harris pegged as a criminal mastermind, but 'How I Met Your Mother' was something of a cruel joke, so now we're not sure.
