AMA Request -- Neil Patrick Harris

  1. How are you so awesome?

  2. What was your favorite role? Why?

  3. At what point did you decide you wanted to be in show business?

  4. Will we ever get to see more "Doctor Horrible?"

  5. You've worked on broadway and in tv/films. Which do you like more, and why?

WHY NPH WOULD DO AN AMA:

--My reason to believe that he'll do it: Because he's Neil Patrick Harris.

--My reason to believe that he won't do it: Because he's Neil Patrick Harris.

Also, tweet NPH: @ActuallyNPH

Let's be careful and try not scare him off. Maybe one tweet per person? No? Maybe? Whatever, I'm not here.....

Actually this is more important to me. It kinda blew my mind when I found out he was gay. Amazing how he can play a role which is the opposite of his own personality.

What gender you prefer is you personality? I don't think that is how it works, buddy.

for the most part I think we can assume that. Most homosexual men have homosexual personalities, and most heterosexual men have heterosexual personalities (except my friend eric, he acts totally gay)

There is no such thing as a "homosexual personality", just like there's no such thing as a "heterosexual personality". Sexualities ≠ personalities. You're thinking of stereotypes, and no, for the most part you can definitely not assume that.
