Six Feet Gal's New BF
The Clearasil set aren't the only ones enjoying the guilty pleasures of teen buddy movies. Actor Kal Penn of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle fame will appear in Six Feet Under's final season, beginning in June. He'll play one of Claire's latest squeezes in multiple episodes. How'd he score this plum gig?
Turns out, SFU creator Alan Ball loved his goofy stoner flick, which costarred Off Centre's John Cho. "You really are offering me something on Six Feet based on the character of Kumar?" Penn asked in disbelief when Ball called. The honcho's reply? Yup.
So far Penn (who's no relation to Sean) hasn't seen any scripts yet, so he doesn't even know his character's name or what his story line with Claire (Lauren Ambrose) will be like. "Because he comes in later in the season, I think they're still in the process of figuring all the stuff out," Penn shrugs. "I'm dying to find out more about what I'm playing because I love that show. I'm completely psyched to do it."
