He's gone from child star to cameo maker to supporting character to Tony Awards host to leading man. There seems to be no stopping the force that is
Neil Patrick Harris. NPH's character Barney Stinson was originally supposed to be a comic foil on '
How I Met Your Mother,' but with so much NPH love in the atmosphere 'HIMYM' fans have watched the show evolve into all-Barney-all-the-time and we can't say that's a bad thing.
This season has seen NPH in a relationship (with the show's leading lady Robin played by
Cobie Smulders), in a fat suit (our favorite fat suit appearance since Courtney Cox as fat Monica) and this week we watched as he went on a trampage through the women of Manhattan wearing a scuba suit.
So was it his Tony hosting turn that prompted all this NPH fervor or is it a case of an awesome actor finally getting his due, because he is legen...wait for it...dary? Our experts weigh in after the jump.
