Attending the event, however, changed his mind:. So I'll do three days in Iowa before the caucuses And then he won! And there was an opportunity to serve in the White House, and President, I have another stoner movie to make? Penn was offered a position as associate director in the White House office of public engagement in early The job offer meant that he couldn't continue with his role on House MD , which led to a difficult conversation with the showrunners.
Speaking in an interview with EW , Penn recalled:. And I remember David [Shore] saying, 'Are you telling me that you're unhappy with the show and that you want to leave so you can go off and do a different show?
I'm actually saying the exact opposite, which is I'm having an incredible time, but there's something aching in me to do something completely different and take a break from the acting thing for a while.
He did eventually return to House MD for a guest role in the series finale , "Everybody Dies," in - appearing as one of Dr. House's hallucinations.. He felt "more than a little bit of shock and loss" to learn that his character would die in his final episode.
Even though he spoke no lines in the episode -- and only his legs are seen when his body is found -- he was on the set for the filming, he said. Share this on:. E-mail to a friend.

Kutner's girlfriend Nicole Brewster remembered that Lawrence, being adopted and of Indian ancestry, always felt like an outsider. Despite this, she said he didn't resent it - instead, he felt the experience gained him added insight and perspective.
This drew him to take atypical paths in his career and personal life. One such example is when he decided to break the world record for distance crawling. After a grueling 43 hours, he managed to crawl 20 miles, and earn himself a place in Guinness Book of World Records in During his free time, Lawrence played water polo and swam competitively.
He enjoyed science fiction and was a frequent participant in the Clarion Science Fiction Workshops. After being introduced to Star Trek, Lawrence aggressively pursued a position in Klingon culture and reached the rank of Dahar Master. Kutner sent his resume to House, who eventually called him in for an "interview" at the end of " Alone ". However, he found himself in a room with 39 other applicants competing for the three open positions. He was assigned "Number 6" in the fellowship application process and in " The Right Stuff " he was assigned to accompany the patient to the hyperbaric chamber but when she started to have a heart attack he, against the advice of Jeffrey Cole , decided to use the defibrillator in the oxygen rich environment, starting a small fire and setting off the sprinkers in the process.
However, this incident merely earned him the attention of House. He nearly lost out when he snitched on another applicant and House fired him, but he turned his card over to become "Number 9" and when House tried to fire him again, he saved himself by coming up with the idea of using alcohol tolerance as a way of testing the patient's liver without having to chart it.
As a result, he survived to the next episode. Kutner earned House's disapproval for wasting time when his strategy in the team challenge in " 97 Seconds " was to test the patient for everything they could think of. Luckily, he and the rest of his team survived when the other team's actions cost the patient his life.
When the numbers were removed from the contenders near the end of the process, House began referring to Kutner as "Former Foster Kid". This indicated that House was either aware of Kutner's boyhood tragedy before Kutner revealed it to Thirteen and thus to the audience in " Wilson's Heart ", or merely came to the conclusion through careful observation and deduction.
Kutner had more fun with the defibrillator in " Mirror Mirror ", when he nearly electrocuted himself when he defibrillated a soaking wet patient and the shock travelled through the paddles to knock him out. After attending a magic show with his new friend Cole and seeing the magician nearly drown, he was convinced there was something seriously wrong with him. When the patient got worse in the hospital, he suggested that the blood transfusion may be somehow to blame.
Kutner turned out to be right on both counts - the patient had lupus and the blood was the wrong type. As such, when Cole was given the opportunity to choose two applicants of whom House would fire one and chose Kutner and Amber Volakis , House became suspicious and realized Cole had made a deal with Cuddy to try to get rid of Kutner.
House fired Cole instead. As such, by the episode " Games " when House had to make his final choice of two applicants, he asked Cuddy's advice knowing that she would try to manipulate House. Instead, he chose the applicants—Taub and Kutner—that Cuddy suggested. Cuddy finally admitted she only chose those two to get House to pick one of the women. She agreed to let House hire Thirteen too. After hiring him permanently, House began referring to him simply as "Kutner", but in " Emancipation " he made reference to the "Former Foster Kid" nickname by calling him "Oliver Twist".
Kutner turned out to be an outstanding fellow. In " Frozen ", his idea that the patient's symptoms were the result of an embolysm led House to the right result. In " No More Mr. Nice Guy ", Kutner beat House to the punch, coming up with the final diagnosis based on something House did to mislead the team.
