Perfect Casting: 23 Stars On Screen As Themselves

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS
Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) and Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay (2008)

The actor once commonly known as Doogie wasn't shy about shredding his wholesome reputation in this stoner comedy — Harris got high on ecstasy, humped a seat, and stole a car as a stripper-loving version of himself. We're dying to see what he does in the sequel...which kicks off our survey of stars playing themselves — almost always to make us laugh.
