The Emmy Award-winning television actor also has had stage and film roles and hosted the Tony and Emmy awards. He played a teenage physician on “Doogie Howser, M.D.” and currently stars as suave ladies’ man Barney Stinson on the hit CBS comedy “How I Met Your Mother.”
He’s being honored in a ceremony at Harvard on Friday night.
Hasty Pudding Theatricals holds irreverent ceremonies every year to honor people who’ve made notable contributions to entertainment.
