Kal Penn from WikiPedia:
Kalpen Suresh Modi (Gujarati: ?????? ????? ????, born April 23, 1977), best-known by his stage name Kal Penn, is an American film actor and politician who was serving as the Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement in the Barack Obama administration.
On April 8, 2009, it was announced that he would join the Obama White House as Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. This necessitated that his character Lawrence Kutner be written out of the TV series House.
Prior to his political engagement, Penn taught at the University of Pennsylvania as an adjunct member in the Cinema Studies Program.
Penn was born as Kalpen Suresh Modi in Montclair, New Jersey, to a father who worked as an engineer and a mother who worked as a fragrance evaluator for a perfume company. Both of his parents are Gujarati Hindu immigrants from India. He has stated that stories of his grandparents marching with Mohandas Gandhi for Indian independence were a significant influence on his interest in politics.
