All Things Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris began his acting career in 1969 at the age of 29, after spending the previous six years kicking the crap out of people in fighting competitions. Norris’ first role as random guy Garth in The Wrecking Crew was uncredited; clearly a huge mistake on the part of Columbia pictures. Just three years later, he starred alongside Bruce Lee as “Colt” in the movie Meng long guo jiang, better known in the U.S. as Way of the Dragon. That movie is largely credited with launching Norris’ movie fame. (Of course, had he been credited for his riveting work in The Wrecking Crew, people would still be talking about that movie too.) From there, Norris’ movie success continued going strong for the next 40 years.

Somewhere along the road, people started realizing that the most fascinating role Chuck Norris has in his repertoire is, simply, Chuck Norris. Since 1975, Norris has made more than 40 TV and film appearances as himself.
