The role of Barney was initially envisioned as a "John Belushi-type character" before Neil Patrick Harris won the role after being invited to an audition by the show's casting director Megan Branman. Harris's character was widely reported to be the breakout character, with "Variety" calling him "the major breakout" and "Boston.com" noting that his character was the "most buzzed about element of the show". Robert Bianco from "USA Today" observed that Harris "sparkled" in his role, and further praised Hannigan's performance as equally "delightful" as her role in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".
