With the tragic demise of Dr. Lawrence Kutner on House last week (sorry for the spoiler!), arises actor Kal Penn’s new role in politics and the Asian American community as Obama’s liason to Asian American groups.
The 31-year-old actor and star of teen movie franchise Harold & Kumar got to know President Barack Obama and his staff during the presidential campaign this past year. Penn had campaigned for President Obama venturing across college campuses rallying the fickle 18-24 chunk of voters.
Penn, an Indian-American, will join the Obama administration as early as next month.

He’s taking a break, but plans to act again in the future. Though by the end of the administration, he could be approaching 40.
Who knows
Does this mean he’ll stop acting?! This sucks (but good for him.)
