This weekâs Bull on CBS sees Bull work with top criminal attorney J.P. Nunnelly, played by guest star Eliza Dushku. In the episode, How to Dodge a Bullet, he strikes a deal with her to defend Benny at his trial for misconduct over his former career with the District Attorneyâs office.
Bull, inspired by Dr. Phil McGraw's early career, follows Dr. Jason Bull (Weatherly) as the ultimate puppet master who combines psychology, human intuition and high-tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick. While Bull has mastered his profession, his personal life is less rosy.
