How I Met Your Mother - Casting News - John Lithgow to Guest Star
16 Jan 2011
How I Met Your MotherThanks to Smallville944 for the heads up.
One of How I Met Your Mother‘s most enduring mysteries is about to be solved. No, not that mystery. The other one…
Barney’s father is… John Lithgow!
Sources confirm to me exclusively that the Dexter Emmy winner is nearing a deal to play Neil Patrick Harris’ onscreen dad, Jerome Whitaker, in one episode later this season.
Questions surrounding Barney’s MIA papa have dogged the legendary lothario during much of the show’s run. Red herrings he encountered on his quest included everyone from Bob Barker to Ben Vereen (a.k.a. his half-brother’s dad, Sam).
It’s not clear how or exactly when Barney will come face-to-face with his estranged dad, but it’s safe to say said reunion will be… wait for it… epic. What did you think I was going to say?!
