Doogie Howser is a 16-year-old M.D.,
intellectually a genius, emotionally a
teenager.
Role provides two
characters in one
By Shelia Odak
For someone who portrays a 16-
year-old boy genius who also happens
to be a practicing doctor, Neil Patrick
Harris, the young actor behind Doogie
Howser, M.D., is a very down-to-earth
guy. In a business where a lot of teens,
not to mention grown-ups, let success
go to their heads, Harris is just going
with the flow and enjoying it.
"We had really no idea of what would
become of it," he explained about the
program. "We still feel that if the show
was to bomb and cancel, 1 would just go
back to high school and be with my
friends and just have fun there; and if
it keeps on going then great."
For right now things are great and the
show has become something of a
surprise hit. For Harris, it has also
presented a golden opportunity for an
actor. It allows him not only to be the
lead character in a series, but, in
essence, to portray two people: Doogie
the doctor and Doogie the teenager.
It's obvious that Harris should have
no trouble playing a teen, but how
about the genius part? The actor states
that this, too, is essentially easy. "I try
and put as much of myself in the
character as I can and Steven Bochco
(the co-creator and executive
producer) tries to keep away from
adding little, 'I'm a genius' sort of
things. Doogie has a photographic
memory and all that, but we <Jon't
really say that. It's just every once in a
while it will come up."
Though he just "plays" doctor, Harris
has to be convincing about it. He works
with a consultant on the show who
gives him the proper medical termin-
ology and procedures. "In the pilot
episode," he explained, "I had to stitch
up a guy's rear, so she gave me a pillow
and the stitches and the stufT to go
home and work on it."
Harris said that he has never aspired
to be a doctor, and even less so after a
season of Doogie. But he does plan to
attend college and work on the craft of
acting. "One more year of high school
and then I guess I'll just wait until the
series is over before I go to college. I'm
not really expecting the series to go
seven or eight years. I don't think the
premise can hold up that long because
by that time I'll be 25 and it won't be
anything unusual.
"I don't know what's going to
happen," he continued. "Maybe I'll get
married and have a child really early
and then my child will be a genius. Or,
maybe my parents will have another
child and he'll be smarter than me and
I'll be a has-been."
At the moment though, Doogie can
enjoy being the only genius in the
family, and Harris can enjoy working
on a hit show and being around a cast
that has become, for him, another
family. "Since my parents aren't on the
set all the time, Jim (James B. Sikking)
and Belinda (Belinda Montgomery),
who play my parents on the show, I've
gotten real close to them and they really
are like a second set of parents. They
watch over me and I can talk to them
and stuff.
"Max Casella (who portrays Vinnie
Delpino) and all the people at the
hospital, we really have fun. We just try
and have fun with it. Sometimes it will
get really tense on the set, and we'll just
have to laugh about it. And sometimes
that's hard, because you know, I'm 16
and so my mood swings are kind of at
peaks at this time, so that's kind of hard
for me, but I'm trying to do better."

NBC News Correspondent Jane Pauley will anchor a series of five summer
news specials, Real Life With Jane Pauley, premiering Tuesday on NBC.
Jane Pauley explores how
Americans spend their time
NBC set to premiere
five-part summer series
By Anne Wheeler
In a series of five summer specials
premiering Tuesday, July 17, Jane
Pauley and several other NBC news
correspondents will be taking a good,
long look at how Americans are
spending their time during these last
few years of the 20th century.
Real Life With Jane Pauley is
designed to present a witty look at life
in the 1990s, examining things that
interest the average American on a
daily basis.
With Americans facing more work,
less free time and too many choices, the
show will look at jobs, family life,
television, advertising, our love/hate
relationship with technology, how
Americans spend their leisure time and
how they handle the pressures of
getting through the day.
"These programs will be about
American lives in the '90s. We are
changing, as we always have. It's part of
our birthright," Pauley said.
"I want to show what it's like for
Americans to live in this country in
these times—what we're coping with
now that life is so much more chaotic
than it used to be," Pauley said. "I'd
like to take a snapshot of America at its
most frenzied and talk about how we
got that way and how we've been
affected."
Some of those affects, she said, might
be why manners are getting worse; why
many people have, but cannot work
VCRs; why Americans are not getting
enough sleep; and why many lives are
so frantic. "The shows will be fun,
serious, quirky," Pauley said. "The
result, we hope, when we put this all
together, is a portrait of how it is to live
in America in the last decade of the
20th century."
Also included in Real Life With Jane
Pauley will be segments by Marjorie
Margolis, Keith Morrison, Ann
Rubenstein and Bill Schechner. Boyd
Matson, in regular reports from around
the country, will look at where Amer-
icans are spending their summer
vacations. The show will also air July
24, Aug. 7 and 21 and Sept. 4.
