Neil Patrick Harris: Blurring the Lines in Harold & Kumar | Movie News | 4/24/2008
What would be a Harold & Kumar movie without Doogie Howser, M.D. — aka Neil Patrick Harris, aka NPH? We last saw Harris playing his alter-ego in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, hitchhiking, high on ecstasy and heartily engaged in the joke on himself and his child stardom.Four years later, Harris' days as Doogie (and his TV medical career) is a distant memory, supplanted by his renewed stardom as Barney in How I Met Your Mother, in addition to his various guest roles.

John Cho Faces More Than Fandom with Harold and Sulu | Movie News | 4/11/2008
In the second installment of his latest film — Harold & Kumar 2: Escape from Guantanamo Bay — John Cho reprises his character as the straitlaced-but-lovable Harold. The film reprises the stoner duo in yet another adventure in which Harold and Kumar (Kal Penn) are on the lam, and encounter everything from the KKK to a Texas whorehouse as they flee from the evil pursuit of a government official, played by Rob Corddry. There's no shortage of commentary on race and politics in America, teen humor and gags — not to mention the requisite appearance of Neil Patrick Harris, playing, of course, Neil Patrick Harris.As the cult-fave stoner flick gets a redux, Cho is already feeling the heat of the spotlight for his next role, as Sulu in the upcoming Star Trek film. In a recent interview, Cho described how he's reacting to all the fandom, saying, "I'm discovering how much of a basic building block of American citizenship it is," he said. "Everyone knows something about Star... read more
