Donnie Wayne "Don" Johnson (born December 15, 1949) is an American actor, producer, director, singer, and songwriter. He is best known for his role as James "Sonny" Crockett in the 1980s television series Miami Vice, and as the lead role in the 1990s cop series Nash Bridges. Johnson is a Golden Globe-winning actor for his role in Miami Vice and a winner of the American Power Boat Association Offshore World Cup, and has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Early life

Johnson was born on December 15, 1949 in Flat Creek, Missouri. His mother, Nell (née Wilson), was a beautician, and his father, Wayne Fred Johnson, was a farmer. At the time of his birth, they were 19 and 17, respectively. At age six, he moved from Missouri to Wichita, Kansas. A 1967 graduate of South High School, he was involved in the high school's theatre 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 and Melody" and "The Hullabaloo." He also attended the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas.

Don Johnson (bowler)

Don Johnson (May 19, 1940 – May 3, 2003) was an American ten-pin bowler who spent many years on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) tour.

PBA career

Don Johnson, a right-handed bowler, joined the PBA tour in 1964. He captured at least one PBA title every season from 1966–1977, on his way to 26 PBA titles in all. That total places him ninth on the all-time titles list.

Johnson was voted PBA Player of the Year in 1971 and 1972. But perhaps his shining moment came in 1970, when he won the prestigious Firestone Tournament of Champions and nearly achieved perfection in the process. In the televised final, he left a single 10-pin on the final ball for a 299 game. Leaving the 10-pin wasn't as famous as Johnson's reaction to it; he dropped on the floor and left his face down for several seconds before getting up to a thunderous ovation (Johnson's wife Mary Anne was shown in the audience, crying by that point).

Johnson won another major title at the 1972 U.S. Open, and was runner-up in the Tournament of Champions three times.

Don Johnson (sports executive)

Donald Stewart Johnson (1930 – May 12, 2012) was a civil servant and sports executive known for his dedication to the sport of hockey. The Atlantic Canada Junior B Hockey Championship has been named the Don Johnson Cup in his honour.

Johnson was born in Halifax and educated at St. Mary's College and St. Mary's University. He began his career with the Bank of Nova Scotia at Middleton, Nova Scotia in 1949. In 1959 he was transferred to St. John's where he became active in community affairs and sports. In 1973 he was appointed assistant deputy minister in Newfoundland's provincial Department of Rehabilitation and Recreation.

Johnson's first involvement in the sport of hockey was as a member of St. Pat's hockey team in 1959. He eventually became the secretary of the St. John's Senior Hockey League and later its president. Johnson then became president of the Newfoundland Amateur Hockey Association and then in 1976 president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association.
