Chuck Norris was born in Oklahoma in 1940, but moved to Torrance, California in his teens.

As an award winning martial artist, actor in film and television, as well as his philanthropic support for kids and veterans, Chuck has mastered the art of being the ultimate “tough guy” on screen with a golden heart off screen.
