Show Notes
Chuck Norris, the legendary martial arts champion and action movie star, has passed away at eighty-six. Known for his tough-guy roles in Walker, Texas Ranger and films like Missing in Action, he died suddenly on Thursday, surrounded by family. Before Hollywood, Norris dominated karate as a six-time undefeated world professional middleweight champion, creating his own style called Chun Kuk Do and earning a tenth-degree black belt. He broke into acting with a fight scene alongside Bruce Lee in Return of the Dragon and starred in over twenty action flicks and a long-running TV show. Norriss image exploded into internet memes with over-the-top facts that he embraced, even writing a book on them to support kids martial arts programs. He stayed active lately, appearing in recent movies and posting a sparring video for his birthday just over a week ago. Norris leaves behind five children from two marriages. His blend of real toughness and larger-than-life persona will keep inspiring fans for years to come.
