Actor Don Johnson filed a lawsuit against the makers of 1990s television series “Nash Bridges” claiming he is owed millions in profits from the detective drama.

According to legal papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, Don Johnson Productions Inc said it is seeking damages from 2929 Entertainment Inc, owned by billionaire Mark Cuban, and two other companies affiliated with “Nash Bridges.”

Claiming to own half of the copyright to the series, the actor is seeking his share of a $150 million syndication deal which he says he wasn’t paid.

The complaint also said that at the time the show aired, it was unheard of for actors to receive a copyright interest in their shows. Nonetheless, Johnson negotiated a “groundbreaking contract” that gave him half the copyright for the series and 50 percent of the syndication profits.

Co-produced by Rysher Entertainment, which was bought in 2001 by 2929 Entertainment, the series starred Johnson and Cheech Marin as two detectives from the San Francisco Police Department. It aired on CBS for six years during 1996 and 2001 and made more than $300 million in revenue, which includes payments from reruns on cable TV networks as well as sales from international syndication.
