Death of Chuck Norris

[Wikipedia] Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris (March 10, 1940 – March 19, 2026) was an American martial artist, actor, and author. He held black belts in Karate, Taekwondo, Tang Soo Do, Brazilian jiu jitsu, and judo. After serving in the United States Air Force, he won numerous martial arts championships and later founded his own discipline, Chun Kuk Do. Norris began working in Hollywood as a martial arts instructor for celebrities before making his screen debut with a minor role in The Wrecking Crew (1968). He gained wider attention when Bruce Lee cast him as a principal antagonist in The Way of the Dragon (1972). Encouraged by his student Steve McQueen to pursue acting more seriously, Norris took his first starring role in Breaker! Breaker! (1977), which turned a profit, followed by the successful Good Guys Wear Black (1978), establishing him as a rising action star.
