Donis Leonard Jr. might just be a kid but he was making a killing on "House of Lies" and was all set for another sweet raise -- then Showtime canceled the show.

Then he got a raise for season 5 to $20k per episode ... this according to legal docs.

Marty Kaan and the rest of House of Lies‘ colorful characters aren’t going anywhere. The comedy series was renewed for a fifth season yesterday by Showtime. The announcement came just two days after House of Lies aired its Season 4 finale “When you have a gifted acting ensemble led by Don Cheadle and smart, acerbic writing led by showrunner Matthew Carnahan you expect something special, and House of Lies delivers for us each season,” said Showtime’s Executive Vice President of Original Programming Gary Levine. In addition to Cheadle, House of Lies stars Kristen Bell, Parks and Recreation‘s Ben Schwartz, Josh Lawson, Donis Leonard Jr., and Emmy winner Glynn Turman. In the show’s fourth season, Marty’s brief stint in white collar prison left the firm in shambles and a pregnant Jeannie (Bell) in charge of Clyde (Schwartz), Doug (Lawson), and a tainted Kaan & Associates. Client flight decimated the bottom line,...

After the blowout between Marty (Don Cheadle) and Clyde (Ben Schwartz) that brought Season 2 to an end, it's no surprise that the entire landscape of "House of Lies" has changed. The pod caved in on itself and the group has scattered.
While Jeannie (Kristen Bell) and Doug (Josh Lawson) have remained with Galweather, starting a new pod, Marty has launched his own company and Clyde is off working with Monica (Dawn Olivieri).
Whether they'll admit it or not, each of the former pod members is miserable with their new coworkers and long for the days of old. Sadly, the only one willing to admit it is Doug and he won't shut up about it. Marty hides his feelings about it the best, though his family can see through the act.
No one hates how things ended up more than Clyde, who was king of the mountain at the close of...

While "House of Lies" primarily revolves around Marty Kaan (Don Cheadle) and his professional life as a management consultant, his home life is just as important to the character. When not traveling for work, Marty comes home at the end of the day to his father Jeremiah (Glynn Turman) and son Roscoe (Donis Leonard Jr.).
Roscoe, in particular, is a unique character you normally don't see on TV. While many might dismiss the cross-dressing youth as gay, that's not the case. "What I like about playing the role is you can't put a push pin in him," Leonard tells Zap2it. "He isn't gay or straight. He's Roscoe."
Playing a sexually ambiguous character is a responsibility Leonard takes pride in. "There's a lot of kids who don't really know what they are yet, so I feel like a role model for them," he says. "Also with a great, incredible actor...

It's the truth: "House of Lies" is aiming to be just as ferocious and funny in its second round.
The edgy Showtime series returns Sunday, Jan. 13, on the strength of Golden Globe and NAACP Image Award nominations for star Don Cheadle as Marty Kaan, the slick management consultant always striving to keep himself, the equally sharp Jeannie (Kristen Bell) and the rest of his high-living "Pod" team (Ben Schwartz, Josh Lawson) a step ahead. That's crucial now that they've evaded an unwanted merger ... but there also are personal matters to attend to, sometimes mixing uncomfortably with professional ones.
"It took a second to try and find who he was again, to get back in the groove again," Cheadle tells Zap2it of stepping back into Marty's skin for Season 2. "I was coming right off of filming 'Iron Man 3.' I had about five days, then I started the show again,...

For years actress Lisa Edelstein was brave enough to grapple with a very difficult Dr. Gregory House on the well-loved Fox medical series. Now she’s headed to a new sort of house; a House of Lies. The Showtime series based upon the book, House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time, written by Martin Kihn, will welcome the Cuddy actress to their second season.
That’s right, House of Lies has earned the pick up for an new second season. Edelstein is in the guest role of Brynn, a whip-smart, very sultry political consultant. Marty, star, Don Cheadle’s character, will tango with Brynn on one of his assignments next season.
Even after Edelstein left House, she continued working in television. We’ve seen her on the CBS series The Good Wife and EW spoke of her upcoming guest slot on Elementary.

Finally, Kristen Bell is back on our TVs — and not just in a voiceover.
House of Lies premiered this week on Showtime and with it, Bell makes her fans forget all about Veronica Mars — at least for a half hour per week.
Bell plays Jeannie, a whip-smart management consultant for Galweather & Stern. Jeannie is part of "The Pod," the firm's star team led by Don Cheadle's Marty. Jeannie is very much the smart girl in the midst of a boys' club, but she certainly refuses to play anyone's game but her own.
As per usual for Showtime, House of Lies is heavy on the sex. Jeannie seems to prefer men, but doesn't hesitate to enjoy the company of a lady when the team spends the evening at a "gentleman's club."
Far be it from Showtime to settle for hinting at lesbian sex, though. You probably recognize the lovely ladies...

"House of Lies" is the new half-hour comedy from Showtime starring Don Cheadle as Marty Kaan, a project manager at a highly successful management consulting firm called Galweather & Stern. Kaan is flanked by a team made up of the awkward resume-touting Doug (Josh Lawson), the smarmy John Ralphio Clyde (Ben Schwartz) and the smart, sassy Jeannie (Kristen Bell).
Kaan's mirror at a competing consulting firm is none other than his ex-wife Monica (Dawn Olivieri), while Kaan's roommates include his father Jeremiah (the wonderful Glynn Turman) and son Roscoe (Donis Leonard Jr.).
The show's premiere features Kaan and his team jet-setting to New York from their Los Angeles base to meet with a financial company, one that in the world of the show helped cause America's sub-prime mortgage crisis. Kaan's company basically makes money by creating the illusion that they indispensable to their clients. The last name of "Kaan" ("con") is a little too on-the-nose.

Chicago – The premiere of “House of Lies” is a smug, self-aware affair, a pilot that doesn’t show you how smart and clever it is as much as begs you to think it so over and over and over again. But, thanks largely to its talented cast, it passes the ultimate test of a premiere and intrigues enough to make a second episode worth investigating. From here, “HoL” works. The second episode is a noticeable improvement as the desperation dissipates and the show settles into its flawed-but-interesting groove.
Television Rating: 3.5/5.0
The first ten minutes of “House of Lies” are so grating and annoying that one could easily be dissuaded from continuing and I wouldn’t blame them. With regular breakings of the fourth wall, gratuitous adult humor, and characters that almost seem intended to be disliked. This is a show that opens with a man waking up after “hate banging...

House of Lies‘ plot synopsis: Based on the memoir by Martin Kihn, House of Lies is a “subversive, scathing look at a self-loathing management consultant from a top-tier firm. Marty, a highly successful, cutthroat consultant is never above using any means (or anyone) necessary to get his clients the information they want.”

After the jump: NBC puts Community on hiatus and picks up new show Legends HBO's Luck, starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, gets a trailer Showrunner Matthew Weiner reveals how he wants AMC's Mad Men to end Showtime renews Weeds and drops a teaser for House of Lies First, let's get the bad news over with. Perhaps the biggest news (at least for us pop culture nerds) to come out of NBC's recent announcement of its mid-season lineup is the benching of Community, which has always struggled ratings-wise despite getting glowing reviews. The network stresses that the comedy is not cancelled and will be back on air soon,...
