Sorrell studied at Yale and Columbia University, and mastered five languages (Six if you count Boss' Southern Drawl). During the Korean War, Booke worked in counter-intelligence where his lingual talents served him well.

He died of colorectal cancer in 1994 just after his 64th birthday.

Hi there & thank you for your reply!

I even read that Sorrel even earned his Masters Degree in literature, or something related. It's ashame that he passed away. He was a quality, and an intelligent, actor indeed. It would have been great seeing him in the 1997 Hazzard-Reunion for sure!

Kindest Regards,

Aaron

On the DVD (Season 1) when Cathy and John do the commentary thing on One Armed Bandits...I thought Cathy said he could speak 9 different languages??

I believe she did... however, speaking a language to some extent and truly mastering it are two different things. Possibly that's the difference. I'm really not sure how many he spoke, though.
