"The Young and the Restless" actor Eric Braeden pulled out of a "How I Met Your Mother" guest starring role last minute — and Neil Patrick Harris is none too pleased.
"Eric Braeden is a D-Bag," Harris fumed on Twitter Friday. "The actor, (Robin's dad) agreed to a cameo, then last night bailed, saying the part wasn't 'substantial' enough."
Added Harris, "We've recast with Ray Wise, a fantastic actor who makes any part 'substantial'. Super excited to welcome him to the family!"
Braeden appeared in a 2008 episode as Robin Scherbatsky's (played by Cobie Smulders) father.
