Equally successful on stage and screen, NEIL PATRICK HARRIS continues to demonstrate his creative versatility.

The web series debuted atop the iTunes television charts and has gone on to produce a subsequently successful soundtrack. The musical sensation co-stars Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day.

The all-star production, co-starring Patti LuPone, Stephen Colbert, Jon Cryer, Christina Hendricks, and Martha Plimpton, among others, was also filmed for a planned theatrical release in movie theaters across the country. Harris has starred in three Broadway productions, including the dual roles of The Balladeer/Lee Harvey Oswald in the Tony Award-winning musical Assassins.
He made his Broadway debut as Anne Heche‘s unexpected suitor in the Pulitzer Prize-winning production of Proof, and later starred as the exuberant emcee in Cabaret at Studio 54.

Utilizing his theatrical expertise behind the curtain and furthering his association with the Pulitzer Prize-winning production, Harris made his musical directorial debut with the Hollywood Bowl's staging of Jonathan Larson's Rent, starring Nicole Scherzinger, Vanessa Hudgens, and Wayne Brady. In July 2007, Harris made his theatrical directing debut with the original comedic script, I Am Grock, at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood, and he later mixed his love of magic and theatre in directing The Expert at the Card Table at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In addition to The Smurfs, he was seen in other feature films, the independent comedy The Best & The Brightest, with Amy Sedaris and Bonnie Somerville, and the third installment in the Harold & Kumar film series, A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas. Harris also starred in CBS Films‘ Beastly, a modern-day retelling of the "Beauty and the Beast" tale, based on the novel by Alex Finn, and co-starring Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, and Mary-Kate Olsen.
Harris‘s feature film debut was a starring role opposite Whoopi Goldberg in the coming-of- age drama, Clara‘s Heart, for which he received his first Golden Globe nomination.
