Keep your mind like an umbrella, it only works if its open... Continually learning.
He was also in the 1st Iron Man IIRC. Quite a few other movies. Don't know if he ever had a lead role, but the roles he did play were always played well, I thought.

there was another ranger other than chuck norris?

Yeah.

Norris was Walker
Gilyard was Trivette
Noble Willingham was CD parker (retired ranger, ran a bar but still helped walker at times)

Then midway through the series they brought in Jimmy Wlycek (Trent malloy) and some other guy cant remember his name.

Then after they left we all breathed a sigh of relief and Judson mills (Gage) aNd Nia Peeples (sydney) came in as rangers for the last 2 seasons or so

hopefully his family is able to heal quickly. that seems like a young age for a person to die in the age we live in

My brother really liked that show, and last I heard he was at least one black belt.
Also my brother lived in the DFW area, and occasionally would see them filming. He thought it rather comical when waiting at a red light to see them going through the intersection, cameras, truck and all on a flatbed trailer and Chuck sitting in the driver seat
