In many ways, I feel like having the opportunity to play Gogol in 'The Namesake' really was my dream role in many ways.

The water cooler conversation in every job I've had is sports, it's what did you do this weekend, it's how are your parents doing.

I was a vegetarian when we shot the first film(Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle), and I generally eat organic as much as possible. I know this is so disappointing to the audience, which is why I don't talk about it a lot, but I don't smoke weed, I don't eat fast food.

My folks are in Jersey. And I have a lot of friends and other family there. So, I try to visit as much as possible.

I'm also politically independent so I'm not a fan of either the Democrats in Congress or the Republicans in Congress.

What I love about L.A. and Washington, D.C. is that they're almost the opposite of each other. L.A. is a very creative space while D.C. is a very cerebral space. So, they're the ying and the yang in my world. I like them both for their own reasons.
