First Look at Neil Patrick Harris As Count Olaf

We have the first look at Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf for Netflix’s live-action series, ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events.’

 

Lemony Snicket fans are being treated to their first look at Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf.

Harris, who will be starring in the upcoming Netflix adaptation of Snicket’s book, will be playing the antagonist of the series. The story follows the sad and tragic story of the Baudelaire orphans who are placed in the custody of Count Olaf who is plotting to steal their family fortune.

We’ve also been given a glimpse at many of the other cast members in their costumes! Check out the gallery below:

Are there any doubts that Neil Patrick Harris can pull this off? His costume is amazing! He looks a lot like the character illustrated in the books. He’s almost unrecognizable!

I love reading! I love that books can take you anywhere, make you fall in love, and visit places outside of your reality. “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies,....the man who never reads lives only one.”
