Donald Wayne Johnson (born December 15, 1949) is an American actor, producer and singer. He played the role of James "Sonny" Crockett in the 1980s television series Miami Vice , for which he won a Golden Globe, and received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. He also played the titular character in the 1990s series Nash Bridges . Johnson received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1996. [2]
Johnson has appeared in films such as A Boy and His Dog (1975), Tin Cup (1996), Machete (2010), Django Unchained (2012) and Knives Out (2019). As a singer, he released the albums Heartbeat (1986) and Let It Roll (1989). His cover version of "Heartbeat" peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Johnson was born on December 15, 1949, in Flat Creek, Missouri. [3] His mother, Nell (née Wilson; 1933–1975), was a beautician. His father, Fredie Wayne Johnson (1930–2017), was a farmer. [4] [5] At the time of his birth, Johnson's mother and father were 16 and 19 years old, respectively. [6] Johnson was raised in poverty in Wichita, Kansas, where his parents relocated when he was six years old. [6]
He graduated from Wichita South High School, where he was involved in the high school's theater program. As a senior, he played the lead role of Tony in West Side Story . His biography noted that he had previously appeared in Burnt Cork & Melody and The Hullabaloo. After graduating from high school in 1967, he enrolled at the University of Kansas as a theater major, but dropped out after one year. [6] He subsequently relocated to San Francisco, California, to attend the American Conservatory Theater. [6]
Johnson's first major role was in the 1969 Los Angeles stage production of Fortune and Men's Eyes , in which he played the lead role of Smitty. [7] [8] [9] The play included a "shockingly realistic prison rape" scene portrayed by Johnson. [10] This exposure led to the quickly forgotten film The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart (1970). Johnson continued to work on stage, film and television without breaking into stardom. His notable films from this period were Zachariah (1971), The Harrad Experiment (1973) (a film in which Johnson displayed frontal nudity), [11] [12] Lollipop and Roses (1974) and A Boy and His Dog (1975). In 1976, Johnson was the roommate of actor Sal Mineo at the time Mineo was murdered. [13]
In 1984, after years of struggling to establish himself as a TV actor, Johnson landed a starring role as undercover police detective Sonny Crockett in the Michael Mann/Universal Television cop series, Miami Vice . [14] The show ran from 1984 to 1990. [15] Miami Vice made Johnson "a major international star". [16] According to Rolling Stone, "No one had more swagger in the Reagan era than Don Johnson. As Miami Vice's Sonny Crockett, the undercover detective and professional stubble-cultivator who lived on a houseboat with his pet alligator Elvis, he embodied masculine cool in the era of coke binges and Lamborghinis". [17] The Sonny Crockett character typically wore thousand-dollar Versace and Hugo Boss suits over pastel cotton T-shirts, drove a Ferrari, wore expensive timepieces by Rolex and Ebel, and lived on an Endeavour yacht.[ citation needed ]Miami Vice was noted for its revolutionary use of music cinematography and imagery, and for its glitzy take on the police drama genre.[ citation needed ] In the show, Crockett's partner was Ricardo Tubbs, played by Philip Michael Thomas. [18]
Johnson's work on Miami Vice earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor In A Television Series - Drama, in 1986. [19] Johnson was nominated for the same award in 1987. [20] He was also nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 1985. [21] [22]
Between seasons on Miami Vice, Johnson gained further renown through TV miniseries such as the 1985 remake of The Long, Hot Summer . [23] During the time he was on Miami Vice, he had set up an hour-long music video/pay cable program with videocassette versions of the programs Johnson had hosted being handled by distributor CBS/Fox Video. The project was a tie-in to his first album Heartbeat , which became available from CBS/Epic Records in 1986. [24]
Johnson later starred in the 1996–2001 CBS-TV police drama Nash Bridges with Cheech Marin, Jeff Perry, Jaime P. Gomez, Kelly Hu, Wendy Moniz, Annette O'Toole, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe as his daughter Cassidy, and James Gammon as his father Nick. Johnson portrayed the title role, an inspector (later promoted to captain) for the San Francisco Police Department. In Nash Bridges, Johnson was again paired with a flashy convertible car, a yellow 1971 Plymouth Barracuda. [25]
In the fall of 2005, Johnson briefly starred in The WB courtroom television drama show Just Legal as a jaded lawyer with a young and idealistic protégé/partner (Jay Baruchel); the show was canceled in October 2005 after just three of the eight produced episodes aired. In January 2007, Johnson began a run in the West End of London production of Guys and Dolls as Nathan Detroit. [26]
Johnson also had a role in the Norwegian comedy Lange Flate Ballær 2 ("Long Flat Balls II"), directed by Johnson's friend Harald Zwart. Johnson did the movie as a favor to Zwart. The movie was launched on March 14, 2008, in Norway, with Johnson making an appearance at the premiere. He next appeared in When in Rome with Danny DeVito, Anjelica Huston and Kristen Bell. [27]
Johnson had a supporting role in Robert Rodriguez's film Machete . Johnson played Von Jackson, "a twisted border vigilante leading a small army". The film was released on September 3, 2010. In October 2010, he began appearing on the HBO series Eastbound & Down , playing Kenny Powers' long-lost father, going by the alias "Eduardo Sanchez".

[31] In 2015, Johnson began starring in the ABC prime time soap opera Blood & Oil . [32]

In 1986, Johnson achieved his first motor sport victory. He won a 1,100-mile powerboat race up the Mississippi River from New Orleans to St. Louis. Characterized by shipmates as an aggressive, fearless pilot who did not make mistakes, Johnson was named the American Power Boat Association's 1988 World Champion of the Offshore World Cup. [40]
Johnson has been married five times to four women. Three of his marriages were brief; the first two were annulled within a matter of days. [3] [41] The names of Johnson's first two wives have not been made public, though they are said to have been a dancer and a rich woman. [42]
Circa 1971, Johnson lived with self-described "groupie" Pamela Des Barres. [43]
During the first half of 1972, Johnson met Melanie Griffith, the 14-year-old daughter of his Harrad Experiment co-star Tippi Hedren. [41] When Griffith was 15 and Johnson was 23, she and Johnson began living together in a rented house in Laurel Canyon. [41] On her 18th birthday they became engaged and were married in January 1976; they separated that July and divorced in November. [44] [45]

Cybill Shepherd has written of a liaison with Johnson during the making of the television miniseries The Long Hot Summer (1985). [49]
Johnson next had a relationship with Barbra Streisand, lasting into at least September 1988. [41]
Just days after breaking up with Streisand, Johnson, then 38, was linked to 18-year-old Uma Thurman. [50]
Johnson and Griffith reunited close to the start of 1989, and Griffith gave birth to a daughter, [41] Dakota Johnson (born October 4, 1989). Johnson and Griffith were involved again from that year until 1996. [51]
Before reuniting with Griffith, Johnson was briefly involved with Dead Bang co-star Penelope Ann Miller. [50]
In 1996–1997, Johnson dated Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, who played his daughter on Nash Bridges . [52] Johnson was 47 at the time while O'Keefe was 18.

[54] Actor Robert Wagner served as best man, and Mayor Willie Brown presided over the civil ceremony. [54] Johnson and Phleger have three children together: a daughter, Atherton Grace (born December 28, 1999), [55] and two sons, Jasper Breckinridge (born June 6, 2002), [56] and Deacon (born April 29, 2006). [57] [58]

[61] [62] [63] He was accompanied in his black Mercedes-Benz by three men: an investment adviser, a personal assistant, and a third unknown individual who could not be identified.

In May 2008, within hours of losing his Woody Creek, Colorado, home to foreclosure, Johnson paid off his $14.5 million debt. [65]
In July 2010, a Los Angeles jury awarded Johnson $23.2 million in a lawsuit against production company Rysher Entertainment, from whom Johnson sought a share of profits commensurate with his ownership of half the copyright of Nash Bridges .
