Strangely enough, Jack Soo and Pat Morita were both in the same camp with their families at the same time but never met one another. Both men remembered those days very well and their lives were greatly effected by what they experienced there.

Oh my, Jack Soo is exactly the type of show business character I would hope to learn more about. Bully for doing such a comprehensive job.

[@ideamaker]

He was amazing, may he rest in peace.

Jack had a way of delivering lines that was hilarious. Yamada was my favourite character in Barbie Miller. The run-on gags about the coffee were over-the-top!

The first bit about Omaha was priceless, in particular his deadpan response.

Love the Nick Yemana character. He was very handsome in his youth and had a good voice. I want to see that movie.
