During Tuesday’s season finale of “How I Met Your Father,” Sophie (Hilary Duff) quietly sneaks away from Robert (John Corbett) when she thinks he may be her dad. She encounters Barney on her way out.

During the encounter in “How I Met Your Father,” he reveals that he’s no longer the crude man he once was towards women. He had changed ever since his daughter came into his life. In his defense, he’s electrocuted every time he does make a comment. Neil Patrick Harris’ physical comedy is to die for.

Neil Patrick Harris and Hillary Duff’s work in “How I Met Your Father.”

According to Variety, “You write this much and then go, ‘Neil?’ and he fills in the rest,” said the director, Pamela Fryman, who helmed nearly every episode of “How I Met Your Mother” and returned for “Father.”

Harris continued: “I love to go to town on that. I’m a big physical comedy guy. It seemed like a great comedic method to acknowledge Barney’s shortcomings while still staying true to his core person… I thought that was a very smart call because it allowed recognition of the world and humanity and the way one is supposed to behave and yet, it’s still kept — in a comedic way — Barney’s engine is always running and revving. You can’t really stop it. As much as Robin tried, as much as fans might want, Barney’s Barney. That’s how he was designed.”

“How I Met Your Mother” aired on CBS from 2005 to 2014, and featured many storylines — almost all of Barney’s — that haven’t aged well. That was also part of the reason for the change in his character’s ways.

“‘How I Met Your Mother’ was a while ago. A lot has changed and people grow and but it’s Barney,” said Fryman. “We have to recognize this character that we’ve loved for so long. It seemed perfect to me.”

Harris didn’t “just blindly say yes” when he was asked to make a cameo. After a Zoom call and good timing, it felt “lovely” and “surreal” to bring it back. Sophie starts to look for her birth father, just as Barney did.

Harris said, “He’s having these conversations about a daughter seeking out a better relationship with her father as a new father of a daughter and sitting talking to female who’s as attractive as Hilary Duff, it’s innate Barney fodder.” “He wants to say authentic things because he feels authentic things, but he’s saying it to someone that he would normally wants to say something crass to! That’s who he is. It was intrinsic and well written.”

He also felt the authenticity of the story as both Harris and Duff are parents in real life. “I’m now having a conversation with her now as a human who, 10 years ago, had little blobby babies that just kind of sat there. Now I have like a fully formed pre-teen daughter. So to be able to talk about those dynamics, I was definitely a changed actor when I was sitting there speaking all of that. It was nice to be able to have an authenticity to those scenes in a kind of weird, meta way,” he explains.

Fryman said both Harris and Duff had never worked together and it was fun to watch them in the making of “How I met Your Father.” “She was so nervous to meet Neil, so nervous to act with Neil. She was shaking. We had a bit of downtime because it was raining hard, so they got to talk and spend some time with each other. It was pretty magical.”

She also added that the door is open if Harris wants to bring Barney back again.

“I think it’s Barney the movie,” Fryer jokes. Harris adds, “I think it’d be Barney, the spinoff. We can pull a straight-up Frasier.” Just call it ‘Stinson!’ Exclamation mark at the end.”

Season 2 will return to Hulu with new episodes beginning May 23.
