Jack Soo

Personal life Soo was married to Jan Zdelar, a model, in 1945. The couple had three children: Jayne, Richard, and James. His last appearance on the show was in the episode entitled "The Vandal", which aired on November 9, 1978, delivering the episode's final line, "...I have nothing to add."

Soo's last televised appearance was on an episode of the daytime version of Hollywood Squares, which aired December 4, 1978.

A running joke on Barney Miller was that Soo's character, Yemana, made bad coffee. "It must have been my coffee," Soo joked when he was being wheeled into surgery.
