Don Johnson sues over Nash Bridges

18 February 2009 12:33pm

Don Johnson has sued a trio of entertainment companies, claiming he is owed millions of dollars in profits from the TV series Nash Bridges.

Don claims he owns half of the copyright to Nash Bridges and has not been paid his share of a 150 million US dollar syndication deal.

The series aired for six seasons on CBS. Don, of Miami Vice fame, also claims he has been blocked from developing Nash Bridges for online platforms.

He is suing the now-defunct Rysher Entertainment, 2929 Entertainment -- which was founded by Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner -- and Qualia Capital. Qualia Capital bought Rysher's catalogue from 2929 in 2006, the lawsuit states.
