Get Your First Look At Neil Patrick Harris In His American Horror Story Début

[Primetimer]

And he's got the best two magician's assistants on two legs!

I don't like NPH in How I Meet Your Mother but in general I guess I kinda like him. He was a pretty good guest judge on RPDR last season. But I do find this character he's doing for AHS very interesting and maybe it will the shot in the arm this season needs.

I liked him in Doogie Howser when I watched it during its original run. Since then, he just makes me tired.

He just exhausts me and the "perfect perfect twee life" is unbelievable.  I hope most of it is true -- if even half of it is, he's a lucky man.  I'm almost as exhausted by Hugh Jackman.

I'm looking forward to seeing Jamie brewer and NPH husband more than Neil Patrick himself

If he's the one Dandy calls a sicko, then I'm intrigued.

Well, he's a genuinely talented guy so it's not like he Kardashianed his way onto our screens.

I mainly see him singing and dancing when he's hosting an awards show, which is A-Okay with me because when the teleprompter goes blank, he handles it and doesn't stand there slack-jawed and stupid.

Looking forward to seeing if he can be a convincing villain.

I hope MPH can help fill the maniacal void left by my fave killer clown, Twisty!

Wasn't he a "villain" (airquotes intentional) in that Buffy-Creator webshow about a mad scientist?

[candall]

Heee: "He has a Ph.D in horribleness."

But I forgot about "Gone Girl," since I haven't seen it yet. (Good book, though.) I think NPH had good reviews for his twisty psycho work in that.

I've enjoyed each season of AHS less than the one before. Me or the show? If Neil Patrick Harris can be spooky, go for it. I want to peek through my fingers again.

Will this episode be aired on NY Eve?

NPH wasn't the psycho in Gone Girl - I won't elaborate to avoid spoilers.

 

Overall I liked him as Chester.  I think his Georgia accent was better than at least half the cast of The Walking Dead.  What problems I had with any of his scenes (a couple of reaction shots, and lame music) were more director related.  I bought almost everything he did, but was strangely unmoved by his last line of - just put me in the ch-chair.
