WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILER TO THE FOX TV SERIES “HOUSE”!
For those of you who watched the shocking season finale of House last week, you were probably shocked by the death of Dr Lawrence Kutner (played by Kal Penn), who apparently shot himself in the head. Why such sudden and dreadful departure? Did he piss of the writers on the show?
Well, it turns out that Kal is taking a job in public service and will put his day job on hold for now. He was a big supporter of President Obama and had volunteered for the President when he was campaigning for the job. President Obama’s administration has now offered Kal a position in the White House as the associate director for the Office of Public Liaison. The position will act a liaison for the arts community and the Asian-American community. Would I have taken it? Hell yes! Even though Kal will have take a big pay cut to work for the government, it’s well worth it. According to Kal, he has committed to at least one or two years in the job.
Way to go dude! We Asian Americans are proud of what you are doing!
