[edit] Coincidence?

In house he plays as one of Dr. House's new fellowship applicants (correct right?) while he played a Med school applicant student in Harold & Kumar go to white castle, somewhat of a coincidence or am I reading into this too much

[edit] Kal Penn interview...

I recently participated in an interview with Kal Penn. One thing I wanted to note is that he's stated the title of the "Harold and Kumar" sequel is not "Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam". Figured that should be noted here, because it's really not official. At present, he said, it's "untitled". You can see the interview here.

[edit] High School

I am almost positive that he went to Howell High School. I knew he lived in Howell, and Howell HS has the Fine and Performing Arts Center. (FPAC)

Also, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0671980/bio

I will change it to Howell High School.

[edit] wtf

there are a load of movies not in this article. just check his imdbc71.62.10.130 23:47, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other Movies

I'm pretty sure I saw him in another movie, though I can't remember which. He spoke with a British accent and played some kind of scientist or researcher that was working at tracking station and giving updates on conditions. I really can't remember anything else, but I'm sure I saw him in this type of role. Does anyone know which movie I'm referring to? Please tell me if you know.

[edit] Hindi Name

Ok, so he's of Indian descent, but he was born here in the USA. Is it appropriate to have the Hindi version of his name given? I'm of Italian, Scots, German and Swedish ancestry, but if there was a Wikipedia article about me, I'd expect it to show my name only in English. Wilybadger (talk) 02:39, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

~~ Yes, but the context is different. To Indians, he is still very much an Indian, even though he is born and bred here. So his name written in Hind is important culturally. If you were Castilian, and your name were Antonio, it would be Antonio in any language. He doesn't have a separate name in Hindi, its just written in Hindi for Indians to identify with. Maybe it would be revalent for his grandchildren, if he marries a non-Indian and they whatever....But for him, his name written in Hindi is just as important as for Aishwarya Rai or John Abraham. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.219.174.202 (talk) 05:42, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
