No Love for Chuck Norris

At this point, I think most everyone associates Chuck Norris' name with a popular Internet meme (much like being Rickroll'd) than anything noteworthy in his television or movie career; the only difference between him and Rick Astley is that Chuck takes these satirical factoids in stride.

His credentials as a martial artist aside, I would put him on the same plateau as a Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme where acting is concerned, i.e. at times entertaining, but not to be taken seriously. I think there are better martial arts performers than the aforementioned three who also happen to be decent actors that deserve spots in my Blu-ray library.
