House's Robert Sean Leonard is heading back to television.

Leonard has joined Falling Skies' third season for a five-episode stint, TV Line reports. The actor will be playing Dr. Roger Kadar, a scientist in charge of Charleston's power grid who lives underground with his pet rats. His strange living situation leads to the nickname "The Rat King." This role marks Leonard's first gig since House ended last spring.
