The Don™ Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 WASHINGTON – The White House has hired actor Kal Penn as a liaison between President Barack Obama's administration and Asian constituents. White House spokesman Shin Inouye said Tuesday that the actor who had a recurring role on Fox's TV show "House" and has starred in several movies would join the staff as an associate director in the Office of Public Liaison. His role will be to connect Obama with the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities, as well as arts groups. Penn starred as Kumar in the movie, "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay." His "House" character committed suicide in Monday's episode. Penn backed Obama during the campaign. The White House says a start date for Penn hasn't been set. The hire was first reported by Entertainment Weekly. :wacko: :blink: Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott da 6'0 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I hate Kal Penn. Harold and Kumar was decent (didn't see the second one), but that can't make up for Epic Movie and Van Wilder:Rise of Taj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
