- Summary: NEIL PATRICK HARRIS/HAROLD & KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTANAMO BAY: HRN-2144 Harold and Kumar 2 Neil Patrick Harris A01. HRN-2144 In: 02.02.25 Out: 02.02.52 Sound Bite: Neil Patrick Harris Busted, not it is not entirely me. In fact I dont get an as himself credit in the film. (talks) I demanded a Neil Patrick Harris credit. (Talks) No that was sort of my idea, like it was understood that it would be in the credits Neil Patrick Harris as himself, but I thought no thats actually not true, thats actually Neil Patrick Harris playing a different Neil Patrick Harris. A02. HRN-2144 In: 02.02.56 Out: 02.03.09 Sound Bite: Neil Patrick Harris I think they were fans, I think that they thought it would be cool and they thought that I wouldnt do it, so they just wrote it on a whim and then it got to me and I read it and I thought it was hilarious so A03. HRN-2144 In: 02.03.15 Out: 02.03.50 Sound Bite: Neil Patrick Harris I think the idea of that I thought was funny, was that society seems obsessed with knowing all about someone, and as actors you try to maintain a level of mystery so you can play all types of people without being pigeonholed and so to sort of lampoon your own personal story with a movie that totally juxtaposes that and makes people think that thats who you are sort of blurs the line which I thought was cool. A04. HRN-2144 In: 02.04.05 Out: 02.04.43 Sound Bite: Neil Patrick Harris Well I think its important for the actor to keep challenging him or herself throughout your career. I think the point of feeling like youve made makes lethargy and thats never good so fears really good for that because it forces you to be really scared and feel like youre terrible a lot. (Talks) Because youre on stage and rehearsals and you dont know if its gonna be a success and then you preview it and sometimes those audiences dont like it, and so then youre stressed about that and then it opens and you dont know how its gonna play and every single night its a new audience and sometimes they dont like it, so youre never really sure of how youre doing and I think thats important. A05. HRN-2144 In: 02.04.57 Out: 02.05.21 Sound Bite: Neil Patrick Harris No, actually, well we dont have much choice as actors what roles we are cast in, we get to audition for all sorts of things, and then the casting directors and producers choose who they want, and Ive been very lucky in getting these sort of extreme roles recently and I think its fantastic, you know you gotta take these roles when you get them and swing for the rafters, you know chew on the scenery while theres scenery to be chewed on. A06. HRN-2144 In: 02.05.27 Out: 02.05.58 Sound Bite: Neil Patrick Harris No I dont think its, well I have opinions, and you know as Ive co-hosted on Regis and Kelly before Im happy to spout them out, but I dont think Im not really one to stump, but I think we are in strange political times and I think everyone needs to be more politically minded. I dont think that means that the actor needs to go out and wave banners, but I think everyone should be aware of whats going on in the world and we are at a point where differences can be made for sure.
