House actor Kal Penn joins White House team
Apr 07, 2009 01:24 PM
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON–The White House has hired actor Kal Penn as a liaison between President Barack Obama's administration and arts groups.
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 and entertainment groups.
Penn starred as Kumar in the movie, Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. His House character Kutner 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. |

I was wondering why they killed his character off last night.
Does Obama really need a liason between his administration and the arts....seems like a waste of money. |

| arts are important... i hate seeing schools cutting arts programs from curriculum. Being such an integral part to myself growing up, I see the benefits that the programs provide. |

I agree arts are important but does the government need a liason person between the two sides....i think not. |
