Kal Penn, who has been playing the role of Dr. Lawrence Kutner on Fox series House since 2007 has quit his acting career to go work at the White House for President Obama. Smaller paycheck (waaaaaaaaaaaaay smaller), but much more uplifting I guess.
The lucky bastard, who is currently completing a graduate certificate in international security at Stanford University, got a position as the associate director in the White House’s Office of Public Liaison and Intergovernmental Affairs.
