You Don’t Know Jack: The Jack Soo Story

You Don’t Know Jack tells the fascinating story of a pioneering American entertainer Jack Soo, an Oakland native who became the first Asian American to be cast in the lead role in a regular television series. The film also explores why Soo, a former internee who was actually born Goro Suzuki, was forced to change his name in the post WWII era, in order to perform in clubs in the mid-west. Soo refused to play roles that were demeaning to Asian Americans and often spoke out against negative ethnic portrayals.
