10 Things You Didn't Know About Neil Patrick Harris
7. His Parents Quit Their Jobs For Doogie
After Neil appeared in Claras Heart, he knew he wanted to continue acting for the rest of his life. However, since he grew up in New Mexico, his parents didnt want him auditioning for any television series that would force him to move away from home. Lucky for Neil, they had one exception. After watching and loving Steven Bochcos past work, his parents told him that the only show he could audition for was one created by Mr. Bochco. Some time later, they heard about a little show called Doogie Howser, M.D. and allowed Neil to audition, then quit their jobs as lawyers to move away with him.
