Chuck Norris, the martial arts champion who forged a successful acting career as an all-action hero has suddenly passed away aged 86.

Norris is best known for his role as Cordell Walker in Walker, Texas Ranger, a lawman who dispensed Lone Star justice with roundhouse kicks and an old-school moral code.

He has also played roles in several iconic movies, including Bruce Lee’s The Way of the Dragon, Lone Wolf McQuade, Missing in Action, Code of Silence and The Delta Force.

The actor also starred in a number of ads for brands including United Healthcare, Mountain Dew, UnitedHealthcare Insurance, Honda, WBK Bank, Hoegaarden, World of Warcraft, T-Mobile and more.

In more recent times, Norris gained fame by being the subject of internet meme, including Chuck Norris Facts.

Below is a series of his iconic moments, while his ads are in the hero video above.
