Fans and locals have long wondered about his Kansas connection, which first gained notice through our mind profiles, like his Hollywood Walk of Fame, page. Back in August 2010, the Johnson County Post even issued a public call for more information after spotting it on Wikipedia, but turned up. Little. Years later, the paper tried reaching out to Norris' team for his birthday, but got no reply.
