Kumar Resurfaces...

...in The Namesake, a lovely movie about family, the power of names to shape our identity, and about being new to America.

I also found a neat article in New York magazine, an interview with Kal Penn about his role in The Namesake, and racial stereotyping in Hollywood.

Nothing blows up in The Namesake, nobody gets whacked, no medical interrogations. My guess is that some 24 fans may prefer to stick with Harold and Kumar...(although I might guess that Friends of The 24 Blog might enjoy Kumar's new gig.)
