Chuck Norris has passed away

RIP I remember, first come across him in 1984's Missing in Action. As a high school kid, I loved action movies. He had an incredibly long career. 

He was the real deal like Bruce Lee.    Most martial arts actors were pussycats.     Norris was a true badass...but also a really nice person.      The MIA movies were on HBO about a million times in the 80's.    And I watched them every time.

He was a badass indeed. He served his country in the Air Force. He earned black belts in a minimum of five martial arts disciplines. He  trained with Bruce Lee as a matter of fact. He was a martial artist among martial artists. RIP.

I think the only takeaway is that he kept himself in top physical shape and lived a long and healthy life because of that.

Given that in order to do that, a person has to sacrifice time and exert effort, the unanswered question is something like, if you spend twenty hours a week working out and live ten years longer as a result, are you ahead or behind when the bill is added up?

He seems to have been a nice guy. His acting talent was rudimentary, but then, he was never hired to be an actor as such. Just to go punchy punchy powie in a bunch of B films. But hey, the pay was good, I assume.

I seem to recall his going into the exercise books/videos field but I don't know how that fared for him.
