Leon Curtis Frierson (born July 6, 1986) is an American actor, rapper, songwriter, and comedian, best known for his work on the Nickelodeon comedy show All That.

Early life

Frierson was born in Anaheim but moved around as a kid including San Diego, L.A., Ontario and landing in Pomona, California.

All That

In 1997, Frierson, Christy Knowings, and Danny Tamberelli joined the cast of All That to replace the departing Katrina Johnson and Alisa Reyes. Frierson'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. 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 network's game show Figure It Out.

In the Investigation Discovery docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, Frierson recalled being uncomfortable when forced to wear leotards or costumes he felt were suggestive. ..... On the That's F***ed Up Podcast, Frierson also revealed that he was paid about 110 as much as cast members from other networks.

Later career

When 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.
