Listen "Kal Penn on dealing with Hollywood's 'Brown Catch-22'"
Episode Synopsis
Kal Penn (House, Designated Survivor, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) opens up to Brooke about his “tragic” rejection from Yale, being pigeonholed in Hollywood because of the color of his skin, and how Harold and Kumar helped him subvert racial stereotypes and land his dream role. Then, Kal digs into the biggest pivot of his life: his decision to leave acting to go work for the Obama Administration.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
