Neil Patrick Harris (48) started his career in Hollywood as a child star in the series Doogie Houser M.D. Nowadays he is mostly known for his role as "Barney" in the series How I Met Your Mother. Neil was popular in the series on screens around the world from 2005 to 2014.
Now, he has recently gotten a role in the newest Matrix film, titled Resurrections - and appears to have changed his appearance for the role. The otherwise comedic “Barney” has now taken on a serious, dark character, which also suits Neil Patrick Harris very well. This is particularly evident in a promo picture that the actor shared on Instagram.
