aussiefan Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I have just started watching the second season, again. Have not got to where Crockett is no longer seen smoking. I think it was in season 2. I believe Don Johnson still smokes today. If so, does anyone know why his character, Sonny Crockett, stopped?

aussiefan Posted April 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Check out this thread.Click ---> hereThanks for the link to the previous thread.I thought I saw where Don was smoking during an interview on the set of nash bridges. But I could be wrong as it was a few years ago and sometimes I have trouble remmembering a few days back:D Serious. Just that if he was still smoking himself then I assumed the show made the decision for his character to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ferrariman Posted April 18, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Viewer complaints did have something to do with it. I'd say it was a combination of that and Don wanting to quit for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the first line. http://www.midtod.com/9611/donjohnson.phtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Prince Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Awesome interview, I especially like:What other people think of me is none of my business -- only what I think of myself, and only how I feel about what I'm doing. I don't usually read any of the things that are written or said about me.Thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiefan Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I like the interview also. Don seemed to very approachable. Also was interested to hear some of the books he has read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the police I have met, I would say the large majority of them smoked. My brother was a non smoker until he was 21, when he joined the army.Crocketts burnt out look in the final season was great. I always thought it was a natural evolvement for the character after years of that type of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
