Arriving in theaters later this week, A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS is a no-holds-barred stoner comedy that sets the bar pretty high for any future wannabes. Directed by first-timer TODD STRAUSS-SCHULSON from an outrageous script by JON HURWITZ and HAYDEN SCHLOSSBERG, the cast features JON CHO & KAL PENN (recreating the titular roles for the third time) and NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, PATTON OSWALT, DAVID KRUMHOLTZ, EDDIE KAYE THOMAS and ELIAS KOTEAS.

As the irascible pothead, Harold, you would never guess that KAL PENN actually holds down a job at the White House as a member of President Obama’s administration. During our recent interview, PENN talked about keeping his political career separate from his show-biz career. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
