twinkie28 Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Here's a trivia for everyone. Who gave Sonny his nickname to begin with? I"m curious to see if anyone else knows.--Amy H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamanda Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 If we had to guess, we would think James Best told him to get a stage name. We know he took acting lessons from James Best and what his real name is, such is the basis for our hypothesis. Are we even close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkie28 Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Nice try, but it wasn't James Best at all. Loooong before Sonny was on the Dukes, Burt Reynolds gave him the nick when he started in film. And that, folks, is the real answer.--Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dixierebel001@yahoo.com Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 If you pay close attention Burt Reynolds uses the name Sonny in a lot of his movies for instance Hooper or The End his name is Sonny in both of those movies.
