Quote:

House of Lies, written and executive produced by Matthew Carnahan, was based on the tell-all book House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Tell You the Time by Martin Kihn. Cheadle stars as Marty, a highly successful and cutthroat consultant who is never above using any means (or anyone) necessary to get his way with and for his clients. Bell plasy Jeannie Van Der Hooven, a razor-sharp Ivy League graduate who works at Marty’s firm. Co-stars include comedian Ben Schwartz and Josh Lawson as well as Dawn Oliveri, Glynn Turman and Donis Leonard Jr. Also executive producing are Jessika Borsiczky and Stephen Hopkins, who directed the pilot.

Sounds cool and can't wait to see the pilot.

Big fan of both Cheadle and Bell, so I'm interested

Cable sure is locking down some very talented name actors for shows the past few years. With Macy, Hoffman, Cheadle, Buschemi and some of the other guys they are locking down, I get exited every time there is a new cable project announced based on who could possibly be the next name actor to lock down his or her own show.

Yeah cable is defiantly becoming a force to be reckon with. I mean quality programing, good actors, not much cancellation it's already better then what networks have to offer in all areas of programing.

Still waiting on a trailer or some footage, but I just updated the OP with a pretty nice photo from the show.

Yeah he's awesome as Jean Ralphio on Parks and Recreation.

It's a comedy? That's disappointing. Kristen Bell needs to do something dramatic and edgy. She has good comedic timing but she really needs something she can sink her teeth into.

Slut! Slut! She's a Slut!!! Sorry, I just finished watching my new 'Throw Momma From the Train' blu-ray and still had Billy Crystal's hysterical line in my brain when I read this.

Kristen Bell to Romance Michael Rady and Nick Stahl on Showtime's House of Lies

Quote:

Kristen Bell’s dance card on House of Lies is officially pretty damn full.

The new Showtime comedy has cast Melrose Place‘s Michael Rady and Carnivàle‘s Nick Stahl as love interests for Bell’s corporate consultant character, Jeannie, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Rady will play the recurring role of Wes, a moneyed golden boy who may be a bit too conservative for Jeannie. Stahl, meanwhile, will guest star in one episode as Kurt, a musician who makes Jeannie question what she wants out of life and love (my guess: no-strings sex with a hot musician).
