No more White Castles for him!
Former House actor Kal Penn started his new job on Monday as an associate director in the Office of Public Liaison, which will connect President Obama with the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities, as well as arts groups.
The position, which he describes as the “front door to the White House,” would include engaging with constituent communities and making sure they feel that they have a seat at the table.
“I expect to be treated just like any other staff member,” says Kal, who will now use his given name, Kalpen Modi.
When asked how he prepared for his fresh start, Penn stated, “I brushed my teeth; I did floss, used mouthwash … took the bus to work, same thing that everybody does.”
No special treatment and trying to blend in for the greater good?!
We give it a year!
