EXCLUSIVE: Don Cheadle, star of Showtime’s upcoming comedy series House of Lies, is expanding his relationship with the pay cable network through a first-look deal for his Crescendo Prods. Under the one-year pact, Cheadle and his producing partners Kay Liberman and Lenore Zerman will develop and executive produce series projects for Showtime. At UTA-repped Crescendo, the projects will be shepherded by development executive Kathryn Tyus-Adair. Since its launch six years ago, the film and TV production company has had first-look deals with Overture on the feature side and NBC for television. Crescendo’s latest movie, comedy The Guard, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and will be released next month.

Don Cheadle first caught my attention playing Sammy Davis Jr. in The Rat Pack. He was outstanding, and has had some wonderful roles including Hotel Rwanda.
I thought Don Cheadle might rise over time to a level of a Morgan Freeman, and still believe he has all the chops to become truly great with the proper material.
Let’s hope these new possible projects serve him well…he is, indeed, quite a gifted actor…but, not a great Texas Hold’em player…yet, over time that may change, too.
Snore. Vanity deal. Nothing to see here people. If you are a creator why oh why would you bring these people anything to produce.
Kathryn Tyus Adair is first rate. I’ve met with her and she’s a great exec – willing to listen to and champion out of the box ideas. I predict Crescendo will bring some really great projects to Showtime. Hopefully, they’ll be smart enough to pick up a few.
WOT – Waste of Time. He won’t end up delivering anything.
I’ve been a big fan for awhile, and happened to see him guest starring in an ep of “Fame” over the weekend. (Thank you, Ovation!) I love him even more. Have also had the pleasure of working with him briefly, and found him to be intelligent, honest and charming. Congrats to him and his team!
So impressive. It truly is a very difficult thing to achieve. Takes lots of Hard work and “hella Saavy”. BRAVO.
GREAT to hear! Cheadle is one of the most under-rated actors in Hollywood and Showtime just puts out great stuff period. Hopefully soon we will get to see that Miles Davis biopic Crescendo has been working on?
Don Che is one of my favorite actors ever. He has not gotten his due credit but everything in due season. I wonder how he feels about it. I hope that this an opportunity for him to show off his ability and get the recognition (pay rate_) that he deserves……
