Chuck Norris

Highest Rated: 87% Return of the Dragon (1972)

Lowest Rated: 0% Top Dog (1995)

Birthday: Mar 10, 1940

Birthplace: Ryan, Oklahoma, USA

A martial arts master and competitive champion, Chuck Norris followed in the footsteps of Bruce Lee to become a popular action star on the big screen, before having his greatest success on television as the star of "Walker, Texas Ranger" (CBS, 1993-2001). In fact, Norris made one of his first feature impressions playing the villain opposite Lee in "Way of the Dragon" (1972), before branching out as the star of surprising box office hits like "Breaker! Breaker!" (1977) and "Good Guys Wear Black" (1978). He made his first studio film with "Silent Rage" (1982) and had one of the biggest hits of his career with "Lone Wolf McQuade" (1983). Following on both of those successes, Norris delivered perhaps his most popular movie, the action-packed "Missing in Action" (1984), which also spawned two sequels. Norris received his acting with his turn as a hard-working cop in "Code of Silence" (1986), before topping the box office again with "Delta Force" (1986). He also drew sizeable ratings for eight seasons on "Walker," and later became Internet-famous for the tongue-in-cheek Chuck Norris Facts, all of which he weathered with typical good humor.
