Kalpen Suresh Modi, popular as Kal Penn is a Hollywood film and TV actor, who has also worked under the Obama administration, achieving greater political heights. He made his debut in ‘Express: Aisle to Glory’ in 1998 and is best known for his acting in the Harold and Kumar film series. His character Gogol in the movie ‘The Namesake’, directed by Mira Nair touched the hearts of millions of film lovers and so did his performance in movies like American Desi, A Lot like love, Epic movie and Superman returns.
While at school Kal felt unhappy to see the ridiculous Indian stereotypes carried in some of the Hollywood movies such as Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom, which created a determination in him to work against this trend in future.
Kal attended The Fine and Performing Arts Academy at Howell High School and later on majored in film and sociology from the University of California at Los Angeles. He was born to Guajarati immigrants.
