This is how we celebrate NPH's birthday!

The past decade has seen the rise of Neil Patrick Harris from '90s trivia staple to beloved household name. Today Harris turns 41 — after 26 years in show biz — and he's got quite the impressive legacy following him around: He's been the star of not one but two memorable shows, his coming out of the closet was a landmark event in Hollywood history, he's earned his reputation as one of TV's most reliable and entertaining go-to hosts, and he just won a Tony for Hedwig and the Angry Inch . That last one, in combination with his flurry of hosting gigs, also serves to remind us of a very important things: Neil Patrick Harris is one of modern Hollywood's most delightful song-and-dance men. So why not spend his birthday celebrating that?

From Cabaret, to Assassins, to Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long-Blog, to Rent, to Company, Harris has never shied away from a project that required a musical performance. And thank goodness, cause he rocks. Did you see that Hedwig Tonys performance? He gave Orlando Bloom a lap dance! The guy knows how to execute a good show. So here are some of our favorite Harris musical moments throughout the years.
