Biography
Chuck Norris is an Executive Producer of Walker, Texas Ranger as
well as the actor in the title role. Norris is familiar to fans
worldwide as the star of action films including The Hitman, Delta
Force, and Delta Force II. He also starred in Missing in Action and
its sequels, Firewalker and Sidekicks. Norris was born Carlos Ray
in Ryan, Oklahoma. The eldest of three children, he helped his
mother raise his two younger brothers in Torrance, California,
where his family moved when he was 12. Norris joined the Air Force
after graduating from high school. During a stint in Korea, he
began to study the Asian martial art of Tang Soo Do. After
returning home, Norris worked for Northrop Aviation and moonlighted
as a karate instructor. Two years later, he was teaching full-time
and running a number of martial-arts schools. His students included
Steve McQueen, Priscilla Presley, and the Osmonds. In 1968, Norris
became the Professional World Middleweight Karate Champion. He held
the title undefeated until he retired in 1974. He is a black belt
in Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwan Do, both Korean fighting arts, and
knows all forms of the martial arts. In 1969, he earned the Triple
Crown for the highest number of tournament wins, and was named
Fighter of the Year by Black Belt magazine. By the time he was 34,
Norris had established 32 karate schools and had been a champion
for six years. In 1996, he became the first Westerner to be awarded
an eighth-degree black belt in Tae Kwan Do. Norris, who was urged
to get into acting by his friend Steve McQueen, skillfully
incorporates his martial-arts knowledge into his series and feature
film projects, stressing action and technique over violence. He is
the author of the books The Secret of Inner Strength and The Secret
Power Within - Zen Solutions to Real Problems.. He works for many
charities, including the Funds for Kids, Veterans Administration
National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans, the United Way
Make-a-Wish Foundation, and Kick Drugs Out of America, a nonprofit
organization he created to help battle drugs and violence in
schools. Norris recently completed production on the television
movie The Hitman: Bound by Honor for broadcast on CBS. He lives on
a ranch when not filming. His birthday is March 10.
