Never heard of him

It won't matter then if the film does becomes a blot on his career

[PonySmurf]

He was in Doogie Howser (a child doctor TV series) in the late 80s/early 90s I think. This is him now:

He's now famous for his role in the sitcom/comedy How i met your Mother ! A good choice me thinks as i think he's very funny

[Smurfysmurf]

Very interesting choice....I would have never thought he'd be in the smurf movie

I wonder what role he will be playing...I can even see him as Gargamel

According to this article on imdb, the "overworked husband":

Deadline is reporting that Neil Patrick Harris (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle) has joined the CG/live-action "Smurfs" movie. He will play the lead live-action character. In the new movie a first-time expectant mother is faced with juggling both an overworked husband and, ultimately, a household full of Smurfs. Jonathan Winters (It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World) will voice Papa Smurf. Raja Gosnell (Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Scooby-Doo) is directing the new 3D movie which is set to go in front of the cameras in April and scheduled to hit theaters on July 29th, 2011.

I really doubt that Gargamel will even be in the film. i can't believe they haven't began filming yet... and what happend to the storyline about the kids helping Clumsy Smurf... have they completely re-wrote the script.
