Kal Penn on his memoir, 'You Can't Be Serious'

Показать описание
How actor Kal Penn, the self-described "skinny Brown kid from New Jersey," became a star in the comedy "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" is as improbable a Hollywood story as was his leaving acting to work in the Obama White House. Correspondent Luke Burbank talks with Penn about confounding the expectations of his South Asian American family, and about Penn's candid new memoir, "You Can't Be Serious."

"CBS Sunday Morning" features stories on the arts, music, nature, entertainment, sports, history, science and Americana, and highlights unique human accomplishments and achievements. Check local listings for CBS Sunday Morning broadcast times.

I know Kal from Designated Survivor, of which my mom and I were avid watchers all the way from the beginning to Netflix. What a tremendous success story! I wish him happiness in his life and career(s)!

Hearing of his engagement makes me very happy for him. I enjoy his comedic roles, but I absolutely love his dramatic roles. He was an amazing staple on "House", and I was actually heartbroken when his character committed suicide. I had no idea he left acting to go and work for The White House. Mad respect. Kal and his partner deserve all the happiness and all the best things that the world has to offer, and I thank him for all the entertainment he has provided me for so many years. Right on! Edit: If you read this comment please read the first comment in this thread for a very nice short story about Kal, from a very nice young lady. Her comment deserves the likes my comment has gotten.

When I saw the first "Harold and Kumar" movie I thought "This guy is going to be the Indian Tom Hanks." He had the same charm, easy relatability, and comfort in his own skin that Hanks has always had. It's a mark of both his own character by taking a break for public service, and the ugly reality of the entertainment industry that made "the Indian Tom Hanks" seem not a viable thing. I'm glad he's working again; by me he's STILL the Indian Tom Hanks. And oh, by the way, if you've never seen "The Namesake", find it. It is a wonderful film, he is great in it and so is the late, great Irrfan Khan.

Congrats on the engagement! Happy for every gay person to come out! However honestly, this was a shocker!:) With him it seems like a straight guy is having a phase in his life... As other gay people said here.. he passes 100% as straight. So it is VERY surprising to say the least:) But it is his life so happy for him if he is happy.
