In a recent interview, Don Johnson shared his deep friendship with Bruce Willis, addressing Willis' ongoing struggle with dementia. Johnson expressed his love and support for Willis, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia after previously battling aphasia. He reminisced about helping Willis land his first TV role on "Miami Vice," which preceded Willis' fame on "Moonlighting." Johnson's efforts in advocating for Willis during auditions showcased their strong bond, which remains significant as Willis' daughter, Rumer, appears on Johnson's new series, "Doctor Odyssey."
We're best of friends and he's having a little bit of a struggle right now, and I take this moment to send him love.
It was his first episodic TV, before 'Moonlighting.'
So I called our casting director on 'Miami Vice' and I said, 'You know, there's a guy over there and I think he's a struggling actor...'
My instincts were pretty good.
