'Glee' star to join Obama’s committee

Lauren Potter, 21, plays Sue Sylvester's right hand girl on the Fox hit TV show, Glee. Potter won the attention of fans with her sarcastic comebacks and undying loyalty to Coach Sue.

Potter will now be headed off of the big screen and into a different role. President Obama announced that he had selected Lauren Potter and Julie Ann Petty, a project trainer, to be members of the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities, CNN.com reported.

President Obama released this press release on the White House webpage. “I am grateful that these talented and dedicated individuals have agreed to take on these important roles and devote their talents to serving the American people. I look forward to working with them in the coming months and years.”

The committee will provide advice about intellectual disabilities to the president and the secretary of Health and Human Services.

Potter’s new job will not likely be interfering with her time on the Fox show, Glee.
