Had no idea who this was...

In 2009, Cheadle performed in The People Speak, a documentary feature film that uses dramatic and musical performances of the letters, diaries, and speeches of everyday Americans, based on historian Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States.

In 2010, Cheadle assumed the role of James Rhodes in the film Iron Man 2, replacing Terrence Howard.

In 2010, Cheadle was appointed, “U.N. Environment Program Goodwill Ambassador.”

He and Prendergast published their second book, The Enough Moment: Fighting to End Africa’s Worst Human Rights Crimes, in 2010.

He also appeared in Derek Water’s “Drunk History” video as Frederick Douglass.[citation needed] As of the show’s January 8, 2012 premiere, Cheadle stars in the Showtime TV series House of Lies.

In 2013, Cheadle won the Golden Globe as Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in the “House of Lies”.

I like Cheadle since he played one of the sane people on Picket Fences, I think an assistant DA.

House of Lies does the sex route each episodes, but the consulting activities and asides as Cheadle breaks the fourth wall are right on target. For a different look watch some of his movies. He’s very liberal, but has acting chops for days.

I thought that Cheadle started out on Picket Fences in 1993, playing a prosecutor against Fyvush Finkel in Ray Walston's courtroom.
