Don Johnson to play lead in ABC drama pilot Boom
As reported by Deadline, pastel-colored suit spokesman Don Johnson has signed on to star in Boom, an ABC drama pilot about the discovery of oil in North Dakota. This discovery kicks off “a geopolitical shift and an economic boom in North Dakota,” the likes of which haven’t been seen “since the 1849 California Gold Rush.” The difference this time, though, is that instead of everyone packing up their families and moving to California—a paradise to live in or see—they’re going to North Dakota, which is the third most-famous Dakota after South Dakota and Don Johnson’s daughter.
