The Artful Jurist

Just in case we needed to be reminded that even big celebrities claim they get taken advantage of by the production companies they sign with, in the news now is a story that actor Don Johnson is suing three entertainment companies that he says haven’t paid up Johnson’s share of profits from his TV series Nash Bridges. The lawsuit was filed this week in Los Angeles Superior Court and seeks millions that Johnson claims he’s owed from his share of a $150 million syndication deal.

The show ran six seasons, from 1996 to 2001, and starred Johnson as a San Francisco police detective who, as I recall, for some reason used to call everyone “Bubba.”
