WASHINGTON — Actor Kal Penn's former publicist confirms that the actor who played Kumar in the movie "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" and had a recurring role on the Fox show "House" was robbed at gunpoint in Washington, D.C.

The Indian-American actor whose given name is Kalpen Modi is working in the White House's Office of Public Liaison. He is focusing on connecting President Barack Obama with the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities.

Penn's former publicist Jennifer Goodwin confimed a TMZ.com report that Penn was walking in the city at 1:20 a.m. Tuesday when a robber took his wallet and other items.

Penn did not respond to requests for comment. The White House referred inquiries to the Metropolitan Police Department, which said it could not release information.

His movies "Harold and Kumar" are funny.

The first one was very funny, the second one not so much. After watching the second one I wanted to rob him too to get my money back.
