I wonder how much folks realize how interesting the journey of Neil PatricK Harris has been in Hollywood. Going from child sit-com actor to a successful out-and-about grown-up actor can not have been easy; and to speak in a culturally intelligent manner deserves some respect.

In an interview in Out.com, he says his job is "jester, not advocate." He speaks of being a gay actor then and now, stealing scenes, and being cast as a leading man.

Smart fellow.
