All That

Main article: All That

In 1997, Leon Frierson, Christy Knowings, and Danny Tamberelli joined the cast of All That to replace the departing Katrina Johnson and Alisa Reyes. Leon's agent had called him about the job and he auditioned at the Nickelodeon/MTV building in Los Angeles. He did impressions of "an old man, nerds, Jim Carrey and Mike Tyson."

Leon's recurring sketches and/or characters include Have a Nice Day with Leroy & Fuzz, CJ and the Cloudy Nights, Repairboy (with Kel Mitchell as Repairman), and Billy Fuco.[2] He stayed on the show until the end of Season 6 in 2000. He also appeared, during his run on All That, as a panelist on the Nickelodeon game show Figure It Out.

After All That

When Leon Frierson ended his run on All That, he had appeared in the movies Bulworth and Snow Day. He also appeared in a December 12, 2003 episode of Boston Public as Brady Bennett.[3]

Frierson was a member of the group The Circuit out of Pomona, CA. Going by "Sha' Boy Malloy", he was joined by other members including Michael Rios aka "Marvel The GR8" and Courtney Linsey aka "V.i.Be Eazy". They recently released a new mixtape hosted by Mick Boogie called "For Promotional Use Only".

In 2014, Frierson is due to put out new music material as a solo artist under the name "Leeboy".
