Neil Patrick Harris took to Twitter on Friday to express his anger over Eric Braeden bailing at the last minute on his guest spot on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER.
Eric Braeden is a D-Bag. The actor, (Robin's dad) agreed to a cameo, then last night bailed, saying the part wasn't 'substantial' enough.
Predictably, Braeden fought back through his usual PR channels.
It seems to me like a young whippersnapper, having seen himself on a few covers, who's received a few awards, is now suddenly suffering from the first signs of hubris. I really don't know who that fellow is. He's a guy who stars in that series. It's very unfortunate. First of all, I came back from hip surgery. I was off for three weeks. I've doubled my work, 30 to 50 pages a day for me, alone. Everyone knows that I'm exhausted. I was not about to appear on a show for two lines, because that's what it amounted to.
Harris backtracked on his original comment fairly quickly.
Now I feel bad for the D-bag comment. Don't know the guy personally. I'm just fiercely protective of our show.
Much ado about nothing? What do you think?
