Mike Norris

Mike Norris is no stranger to the film and television industry. He grew up on a movie set, being the oldest son of action superstar, Chuck Norris. Mike had a natural acting ability, appearing in two of his father's films, A Force of One and The Octagon. His appearance in The Octagon earned him a leading role in the action film, Yoitng Warriors. A trip to Finland became the first turning point in Mike's career, when he met a young and intriguing filmmaker, Renny Harlin. The two teamed up to produce Born American. The success of the film became a launching pad for these two young careers.

Mike also starred in the Survival Games, Delta Force 3, Death Ring, Ripper Man, Carnival of Wolves and Delta Force 4, which was directed by Joe Zito, the director of Missing in Action and Invasion U.S.A.

Wanting to get behind the camera again, Mike began directing the second unit of his father's hit television show, Walker Texas Ranger. Within one year, Mike earned the opportunity to be a series regular Director. During a hiatus from Walker, Mike directed an action film, The Rage Within, starring Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, Richard Norton and Andrew Divoff.
