That's right! It is not a new movie title, but actor Kal Penn is off to the White House. How awesome is that?!?
Kal lived on my floor in Rieber Hall at UCLA, so big ups to the Bruin alum! He spent a lot of time in Iowa during the primaries and the general election, and now he's been tapped to be Associate Director in the White House Office of Public Liason.
I don't watch House, but apparently the suicide exit of his character was not pleasantly accepted by fans of the show. Well, maybe it can be like Melrose Place and the suicide was all a ruse and he can re-emerge in a couple of years as having been in an eye-witness protection program ... or was that an episode of Law & Order: SVU? Anyway, magic of television people ... he's not really dead, so fret not -- he may eventually return.
Good luck, Kal! I guess its safe to say that there will not be any Harold & Kumar movies for awhile ... bummer. I guess serving your country is more important than making movies about weed and hamburgers ... I guess.
