Early Years.

Norris’s childhood can be summed up in just three words – need, hunger, wandering. Chuck Norris, whose filmography today includes about forty films, did not even think about acting. For the first twenty years of his life, the young man thought only about how to survive. At first, Norris worked as a loader in his spare time from school and indulged in dreams of how to put on a police uniform in the future. But getting into the police service was not so easy, so at the age of 19, Chuck decides to enlist in the US Air Force. Norris immediately landed in South Korea. According to the actor, the service at the military base was rather boring, so he started training to kill time. So the young man became interested in judo. When Chuck returned to the US, he already had a black belt in this type of martial art.
