Norris Becomes Ranger... That's a Fact!

Legendary Chuck Norris, who played a Texas Ranger in the hit 90s television series, has become one in real life. On Thursday, Texas governor Rick Perry named the Walker, Texas Ranger star an honorary member of the famed law enforcement group. Norris’ younger brother, Aaron, who was a stunt coordinator and producer for the show, also received the same honor at the ceremony.

Norris, who has not appeared on the HTG big screen since 2008's GI Joe film, and was seen recently on the HTG TV show The Tick, is anxious to use his new credential.

"Being a true Texas Ranger's got to get me some parts," Norris declared after the ceremony, where he roundhouse kicked the governor for taking so long to give him the honor. "A producer would be able to advertise that they have a true Ranger in their film. That's great advertising!"
