American actor/producer Kal Penn has left hit TV show House to work for U.S. President Barack Obama.

The 31-year-old actor has accepted a position as the associate director in the White House's Office of Public Liaison & Intergovernmental Affairs.
And he's preparing to leave acting behind for good even though the salary for the government job is far less than the money he makes from his career on screen.
Penn is currently working on a graduate certificate in international security from California's prestigious Stanford University.

I saw him here twice during the months before the election.

Dang that's insane though...he's really dedicated.
 
Wait, he commited suicide on house? Was that the only way they could come up with to get rid of him?

Same thing I was thinking. I thinks it's pretty cool what hes doing. Eventhough he could make millions by acting, he chose something he lovesto do.

What makes you say that??
Common sense I'd assume. The first one was funny the second one was just "lets see how much stupid #@#% we can make these guys dowrapped around this skeletal plot".

CoSIGN part 3's in any series are usually the worst.

Kal Penn actually doesn't do any drugs and regardless that kind of behavior is the least scandalous of anyone on the Hill.
 
that sucks, no more kuuuuuuuumar.. oh well, kuuuuuuuumar in the white house now... new movie perhaps?? harold and kumar in the white house?
 
Props to him, that's pretty big. I really did like his role on House, by killing himself, it doesn't give him a chance to come back like they have hadwith other characters, so it was a reasonable way to do things. But no H&K 3, noooooooo!
