How I Met Your Mother Casts Kal Penn In Recurring Role
Kal Penn, best known as Kumar from Harold and Kumar, has one of the most interesting resumes for a young actor in Hollywood. He's worked the rounds on TV, literally, while on House, he's stoked the stoner-comedy laughs in both H&Ks and his two Van Wilder flicks and, well, he also did a stint in President Obama's campaign as the associate director in the office of public liaison (whatever that means). Now, it's back to TV for Penn.
