 With the emergence of the sequel, we wondered whether or not Kal would be interested in partaking of another Harold and Kumar pot adventure if Escape From Guantanamo Bay was successful enough. “I don’t want to be 45 years old doing Harold & Kumar 15, but I wouldn’t be opposed to doing another one, I don’t think,” he says, “I like this character because he’s so different from me and that’s one of the joys of being an actor is to play parts that are different from you. I don’t know if we had a third one, it would depend on whether or not people go out and support the sequel. If you do, you may see a third one.” The Namesake, an earlier film, is an adaptation of the Jhumpa Lahiri novel. He plays the role of Gogol, the son of an Indian immigrant family who is torn between his family’s cultural traditions and the American culture that surrounds him. All in all, Penn feels that his opportunities to play such diverse roles have allowed him with little to regret. The thing he is most proud of is his ability to show his audience that time and time again that he’s more than merely Kal Penn, the Indian American or Kal Penn, the funny pothead character guy, but simply Kal Penn, the actor. “One of the fortunate things about being an actor is that I’ve gone from drama to comedy and I’ve been very fortunate to do both,” he believes, “So Harold and Kumar opened the door to something like The Namesake and 24, which are certainly dramas, and House. So, it was fun to play such a broad character, then go back on something like House and flip it again. I enjoy it.”
