Jury awards Don Johnson $23.2 Million for owed "Nash Bridges" profits.


Good for him! Don't F with Don.....

E!: (Don Johnson) today was awarded $23.2 million in back profits for his tenure on Nash Bridges. Johnson had filed suit against the production company behind the hit, Rysher Entertainment Inc., last year, claiming they stiffed him some $100 million after failing to make good on a contractual stipulation that afforded him half of the show's profits.
The 60-year-old, who helped conceive the hit, retained half of the copyright to the show and, until now, was waiting to collect.


For their part, Rysher argued that they couldn't pony up the profits because there weren't any to split, saying the show, which ended in 2001, was some $75 million in debt. Before today's jury award, Johnson had pocketed a cool $40 million in profits from the prime-time series.
