Something fortunate is awaiting fans of "A Series Of Unfortunate Events" book series as Lemony Snicket's book series is set to air on Netflix. The Netflix adaptation of "A Series Of Unfortunate Events" is top-billed by veteran and seasoned actor, Neil Patrick Harris. The "How I Met Your Mother" actor went through a total character change from his usual bubbly, debonair self to a sinister, villain in a dark-comedy.
Of course, the acting experience of Neil Patrick Harris throughout the years makes him quite eligible for any role offered to him, whether it be a protagonist or antagonist. The "HIMYM" actor will play the role of Count Olaf, who will make life of the Baudelaire kids difficult.
However, Neil Patrick Harris fans need not worry about his sudden change in role as Count Olaf will be a lukewarm protagonist as well. His character as the guardian of the Baudelaire children will also give him a chance to be a slight protagonist. Think of it as a darker version of Gru in "Despicable Me" kind of relationship with the foster kids.
The extravagant costumes of Count Olaf will also entail Neil Patrick Harris to go through a lot of costume changes and prosthetics. The scheming, evil ways of Count Olaf attempting to steal the fortune of the Baudelaire will be one of the main storylines of the Netflix adaptation.
Jim Carrey was the first actor to get dibs on Count Olaf's role in "A Series Of Unfortunate Events" movie in 2004. Fans of Neil Patrick Harris are confident that the 43-year old actor will be a great Count Olaf in "ASOUE" 2017 adaptation.
"A Series Of Unfortunate Events" air date is set on January 13, 2017 on Netflix. The designated air date seems to coincide with the theme of the show as it is actually the first Friday the 13th in 2017. Meanwhile, if you haven't watched the official series trailer, have a go at it below.
