Neil Patrick Harris will guest-star on NBC's "Boomtown" next month, playing a filmmaker who pays vagrants to fight each other for the camera.

Harris ("Doogie Howser, M.D.," "Starship Troopers") will appear in the Jan. 5 episode, as an ambitious amateur filmmaker who gets involved in producing black-market videotapes of brutal battles between homeless men. An investigation into the murder of a homeless man leads investigators to Harris' character.

Harris is set to star on Broadway as The Master of Ceremonies in "Cabaret."
