Neil Patrick Harris Gushes Over Darren Criss’ Acting Talents, Labels Him ‘Part Robot’: ‘Impossible to See an Off Night’ (Exclusive)

Neil Patrick Harris has gushed over the talents of Darren Criss, labeling him “part robot.”

During an interview with Us Weekly at the pre-opening night of Maybe Happy Ending on Monday, November 11, in New York City, Harris, 51, praised Criss, 37, and compared him to a robot — just like Criss’ character in the musical production, which officially raised its curtains the following night.

“He’s always talented. It’s impossible to see an off night. So I think it’s great. He’s part robot himself, so this will be interesting to see,” Harris told Us on the Belasco Theatre’s red carpet.

Harris added, “Darren Criss is like a thoroughbred … he’s always representing himself well.”

The pair’s careers have run alongside one another’s for many years. Harris starred as Hedwig in the Broadway show Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which won him a Tony Award in 2014 for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical, before Criss took the lead role over from him in 2015.

The pair also appeared on Glee but not at the same time, with Harris featuring in an episode during season 1 and Criss portraying teen heartthrob Blaine Anderson, a member of The Dalton Academy Warblers for five seasons after he was introduced in the show’s second season.

David Burtka, Harris’ husband and an actor himself, also attended the opening night of Maybe Happy Ending, there to show his own support for Criss who serves as a fellow University of Michigan alumni.

Burtka, 49, was also excited to celebrate Michael Arden, the Tony-winning director of Maybe Happy Ending and a “really good friend” to Burtka and Harris. “[Darren and I] went to the same college, so I’m supporting him that way,” Burtka told Us, to which Harris chimed in with, “Go Blue!”

What is a narcissist?

What characterizes a narcissist? I've encountered this term frequently, not because my friends or colleagues have applied it to me, but rather due to my older sister's frequent use of it. She appears to believe that I fit this description. To diagnose someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), five out of the nine criteria from the DSM-IV-TR are necessary. Some of the traits associated with NPD include a heightened sense of self-importance, preoccupation with fantasies of power, wealth, success, and love, a constant need for admiration, a belief in one's uniqueness, a lack of empathy, arrogance, entitlement, a preference for associating only with important or special individuals, and a tendency to exploit others for personal gain.

It's crucial to distinguish between narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissism refers to certain exhibited traits in a person, where they don't meet enough criteria to be categorized as having NPD.

Allow me to elaborate on the fact that most of us possess elements of personality disorders to some degree. For instance, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the most commonly discussed ones. Each of us experiences varying levels of OCD tendencies. Similarly, anxiety and periods of depression are universal; the key lies in the extent to which these disorders disrupt our daily functioning.

This principle applies to both narcissism and NPD. Celebrating our achievements occasionally and taking pride in reaching goals are healthy behaviors. There's no issue with that. Therefore, if someone labels you as a narcissist or suggests you have OCD, don't be overly concerned. More often than not, they might be projecting their own emotions onto you. Give them space to express themselves, and eventually, the genuine truth will emerge.

Examples and Anecdotes: Imagine a coworker who consistently seeks praise for their achievements and often downplays the accomplishments of others. While this behavior might seem narcissistic, it doesn't necessarily meet the criteria for NPD. On the other hand, someone with NPD might manipulate their colleagues into doing their work for them, exploiting their desire to please for personal gain.

Treatment and Coping Strategies: For those dealing with narcissism or NPD, seeking professional help from therapists or counselors is a crucial step. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and other therapeutic approaches can be effective in addressing the underlying issues and promoting healthier behaviors. Developing empathy, self-awareness, and coping strategies are integral parts of the recovery process. For friends and family, setting boundaries and encouraging open communication can help manage interactions with individuals exhibiting narcissistic traits. Remember that change takes time and dedication, but it's possible with the right support and commitment.

alliancetheatre It's been just over a month since we were on the red carpet for the Broadway opening of Maybe Happy Ending and we could not be prouder of the show The New York Times says is "fully imagined, sensitively expanded, and brilliantly executed." Here's a look back at that exciting night featuring Darren Criss, Helen J. Shen, Michael Arden, Neil Patrick Harris, Hue Park, Will Aronson, and our own Alliance celebs.
