RALEIGH -- The actor who starred in the "Harold and Kumar" movies is continuing his work for Sen. Barack Obama by appearing for the Democratic presidential candidate several times this weekend in North Carolina.

Kal Penn will appear Saturday night at Wake Forest University in
Winston-Salem. On Sunday, he plans to be at Elon University, the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University, and
in Raleigh. On Monday, he will attend a rally at N.C. State
University and several stops in Charlotte.

Penn is participating in events that the Obama campaign has dubbed "Weekend of Action" to focus on registering new voters and recruiting new supporters for the Illinois senator.

Penn also appears on the series "House," on Fox. He was the floor manager for the Virginia delegation at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
