Neil Patrick Harris, Poker Celebrity!

Not only is Neil Patrick Harris a medical prodigy (more people probably know him as Doogie Howser than by his real name) he seems to have a pretty impressive knack for poker playing, too. Making it through the first game by taking out Chevy Chase, Donny Deutsch, Shannon Elizabeth and Kathy Griffin, he very nearly won the tournament before being brought down by Mekhi Phifer.

Harris, who's been performing since the fourth grade when he appeared as Toto in a school production of "the Wizard of Oz," is obviously best known for his role on "Doogie Howser, M.D." He moved with his parents to Albuquerque in 1988, and appeared in his first two films that same year; one year later he was cast as Doogie, the teen prodigy doctor, a role that he would continue in for four years and win him a People's Choice Award for Favourite Male Performer in a New Series, as well as a Golden Globe nomination. After the show ended he went on to appear onstage as he had always wanted to do, but has returned to film from time to time. Right now he provides the voice of Peter Parker/Spider-Man on "The New Adventures of Spider-Man" alongside Lisa Loeb and Ian Ziering. ...Seriously: the dude is SPIDER-MAN. That's just cool. I wonder how Tobey feels about it.
