By the third episode I felt stuck, then I was OK, and by the seventh episode I felt stuck again. What I came to understand was that I locked myself up in my approach and I needed to unshackle myself.
#Eliza dushku bull j.p. nunnelly series#
Why tinker with something that seems not only not broken but performing quite well? It really has to do with the potential that CBS sees in the series and the places it can go. Isn’t a bit unusual to switch showrunners so late in the season? I’m much more interested in a flawed character who’s not in control and doesn’t know what he’s doing all the time. Weatherly, 48, spoke to The Post about the changes, about his perception of Jason Bull and about his 1991 episode of “The Cosby Show.” Glenn Gordon Caron (“Moonlighting,” “Medium”) will replace Mark Goffman as the “Bull” showrunner - while veteran actress Eliza Dushku (“Buffy”) joins Bull’s team as attorney JP Nunnelly in May (she’ll be a regular next season). Jason Bull - is changing showrunners and adding a new major character this late in the season. What is surprising is that the CBS series - starring “NCIS” alum Michael Weatherly as New York jury consultant Dr. Nunnelly (Eliza Dushku) on the first of three cases to repay her for defending Benny at trial, on an episode of the CBS Television Network's "Bull." (Photo by David M.It’s no surprise that “Bull,” TV’s top-rated new drama, was recently renewed for a second season. “After reflecting on this further, I better understand that what I said was both not funny and not appropriate, and I am sorry and regret the pain this caused Eliza.”Ĭover image: NEW YORK - APRIL 10: 'Dirty Little Secrets'- Bull works with J.P. “When Eliza told me that she wasn’t comfortable with my language and attempt at humor, I was mortified to have offended her and immediately apologized,” Weatherly said. Weatherly also told the Times that he regretted the comments he made to Dushku.
Dushku would have received for the balance of her contract as a series regular, and was determined in a mutually agreed-upon mediation process at the time.”
“The settlement of these claims reflects the projected amount that Ms. Dushku’s claims are an example that, while we remain committed to a culture defined by a safe, inclusive and respectful workplace, our work is far from done,” CBS said in a statement to the Times.
In fact, the details about Dushku’s confidential settlement with CBS apparently emerged during an investigation prompted by the allegations against Moonves, who is also accused of attempting a coverup to protect his $120 million severance package. The investigation report cites Dushku’s treatment as an example of a broader cultural treatment of women at CBS, where Les Moonves was recently ousted as CEO after several women accused him of sexual assault. “I ad-libbed a joke, a classic Cary Grant line from ‘Charade’ or ‘Philadelphia Story,’ and that meant not at all that that was an action I wanted to take,” Weatherly said.īut when Dushku spoke privately with Weatherly to register her objection to his sexual jokes, she was promptly written out the show - even though there were “well-developed plans” to bring her on for a multiseason arc.ĭushku eventually settled with CBS and was paid $9.5 million - roughly what she would have earned for appearing on four seasons of “Bull.”
