A child star who made it through a career re-birth and became a favorite of stage and screen, Neil Patrick Harris was born on June 15, 1973. It might be debatable if "Doogie Howser M.D." was science-fiction, but NPH's first big adult role in "Starship Troopers" definitely was. A stop off with "Harold and Kumar" led to yet another breakout appearance in "Dr. Horrible," and we'll cover more of the highlights in today's show - along with wishing him a very happy birthday!
