Neil Patrick Harris Explains His New Choose Your Own Autobiography Book

Posted on September 21, 2014

Neil Patrick Harris can sing, he can dance, he can act, he can do magic. Now he's written his autobiography. But it's not like any autobiography you've ever read before.

The Tony Award winner made this book trailer to explain what his new book, Choose Your Own Autobiography, is all about. The book is interactive. It follows Neil's journey in life, allowing the reader to step into his shoes. From his birth in New Mexico, to his adventures in acting camp that led to his first big break to being chosen to star in Dougie Howser, M.D. Neil takes you along for the ride and gives you the chance to make different choices.

In the video Neil multiplies himself on the screen so you can watch him do lots of different things. He takes shots of rubbing alcohol, he juggles, he does magic tricks. He even recreates the spaghetti eating scene from Lady and the Tramp with his real life hubby David Burtka. He also goes through his warm up session before performing on Broadway. Oh, and he sinks into quicksand, too.

Naturally, the video is entertaining. It is Neil, after all. The book will be published by Penguin Random House imprint Crown Archetype on October 14, 2014. Neil has said on Twitter that he will be doing a book tour, the details are still to come. Take a look:
