Doc Johnson Facilities, Brand Used in Showtime Series, ‘House of Lies’

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — In the eighth episode of the current season of “House of Lies,” the consultants work with an iconic adult toy company, presented as as Doc Johnson, to help maintain their commitment to American manufacturing.

The House of Lies cast and crew shot on-location at Doc Johnson’s North Hollywood facility in the fall of 2012, shooting in production areas and the main office.

Adam Brody guest stars in the three-episode arc as the adult manufacturer’s young CEO determined to usher his family’s legacy into a bright and successful future.

“It was an amazing experience, having the House of Lies crew at Doc Johnson,” Doc Johnson COO Chad Braverman said. “The skill and professionalism demonstrated by the crew was a true testament to their craft. The cast was incredibly gracious and friendly during filming and we hope that they enjoyed their time the spent at Doc Johnson as much as we enjoyed having them. American manufacturing is at our core, and we are honored to participate in a story that tackles the struggles American manufacturers face.”
