His parents moved with him to L.A. during Doogie's four-year run, and after it ended in 1993, Harris kept working in TV, film and theater, acquiring exactly the skills you'd need to go into show business in 1890: magic, acrobatics, singing and dancing.

I'm watching the Emmys right now. Neil is so so good! I loved when he said "Let's hope Kanye likes 30 Rock!"
