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.

Well crap. I didn't even know that his House character was gone. I haven't seen "House" lately, and now it's all ruined. =(

I've had a hard time paying attention and appreciating commentaries on movies, but the first one I actually had fun with and listened to more than once was the Repo: The Genetic Opera commentary will Alexa Vega, Bill Mosley, Ogre, and Darren Lynn ...
