Neil Patrick Harris Gets Star on Walk of Fame

Versatile entertainer Neil Patrick Harris added to his growing list of honors today with his first star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood.

The veteran 38-year-old performer, who plays womanizing Barney Stinson on the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother, received the star for his work in television. Among Harris's numerous awards are two Emmys -- for his guest-starring turn on the critically acclaimed series Glee and his role as host of the 63rd Annual Tony Awards -- plus a People's Choice Award for Favorite TV Comedy Actor and a Critics' Choice Award for Supporting Actor in a Comedy. Showing support for Harris was his longtime partner, actor David Burtka, as well as Jason Segel, his costar on the popular sitcom, and director Joss Whedon.
