Barney Stinson Totally Explained

Everything about Barney Stinson totally explained

Barney Stinson is a fictional character created by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas for the CBS television series How I Met Your Mother, portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris.

Role on How I Met Your Mother

Barney Stinson is one of five main characters on the CBS television series How I Met Your Mother. The show revolves around Ted Mosby as he falls in love. Stinson, a womanizer, resolves to help Ted find a woman. Through several seasons of the show, four of the main characters were couples, as Ted began dating Robin Scherbatsky and Ted's roommate Marshall Eriksen became engaged (and later married) to Lily Aldrin. This left Stinson the only single character, and, according to Neil Patrick Harris, who portrays the character, Stinson was "resentful" that the other characters had paired up.
Harris was invited to audition for the character by Megan Branman, the casting director for the show. He assumed that he was invited solely because the two were friends and didn't believe he'd a chance of winning the role. Harris later said that "Since I (considered) myself the long shot, I didn't care that much, and I think that allowed a freedom." In the show, Stinson is a womanizer who almost always wears a suit and is always willing to offer his opinion. In 2006, TV Land named Stinson's "Suit Up" one of the 100 Best Catchphrases. Stinson's signature phrase is one of only four from contemporary television shows, as writers are now less likely to have a character repeat a phrase in many episodes.
