Ryan Johnson Joins USA Drama ‘Fairly Legal’ As New Regular

EXCLUSIVE: Ryan Johnson (Ghost Rider) has joined USA Network’s drama Fairly Legal as a new regular for Season 2. On the series starring Sarah Shahi as lawyer-turned-mediator Kate Reed, Johnson will play Ben Grogan, a sharp, up-and-coming trial attorney with a knack for making money. He sees no shame in having been “that lawyer guy on the bus ads” and is completely unafraid to speak truth to power, or anyone else for that matter. Fairly Legal, from Universal Cable Prods, is undergoing creative changes going into Season 2, including a new showrunner, Peter Ocko, who replaced creator Michael Sardo.

Every time I read about Michael Sardo being replaced, it makes me sick to my stomach. He created this show, he wrote the hell out of it and Jeff Wachtel stole it from him and gave it to a guy who couldn’t write Sardo’s grocery list.
