The Funny Way Neil Patrick Harris Learned He Was In Harold & Kumar
Neil Patrick Harris shares how he learned he was cast in Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle. The iconic stoner comedy was quite the box office hit when it premiered in theaters in 2004, being one of the most popular films that year. Harold & Kumar's commercial success earned the movie two sequels and an avid fan base that has continued to keep the film's spirit alive throughout the years. Starring John Cho as Harold and Kal Pen as Kumar, their sequels Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay and A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas performed even better at the worldwide box office.

However, Harris was a relatively unknown actor at the time the script was being written for the first movie. Before his role on How I Met Your Mother, Harris had little acting credits to his name, but, thanks to Harold & Kumar, that was about to change.
