He is a black belt in Tang Soo Do, Brazilian jiu jitsu and judo. Friend and fellow martial artist Bruce Lee invited him to play one of the main villains in Way of the Dragon (1972). Norris then had starring roles in film such as Breaker! Breaker!

In the 1990s, he played the title role in the long running television series Walker, Texas Ranger (1993-2001). 

Mr Norris signed my Missing in Action Blu-ray sleeve in November 2020 at a private signing organised by CPA Authentics. The Expendables 2 photo was signed by Mr Norris during a Monopoly Events private signing in June 2021. I finally got to meet him at London Film & Comic Con on 9 July 2023.
