Martial artist and Hollywood action star Chuck Norris will appear in Lynchburg May 10th as Liberty University’s commencement speaker.
Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. announced the news this morning amidst thousands of cheering students at the school’s convocation service.
In a phone interview, Falwell said that the school had asked students who they would like to hear, and “the number one request was Chuck Norris.” “The students are really excited,” Falwell said.
Norris is best known for his long-running role on the television series “Walker, Texas Ranger,” as well as movies like "Missing in Action." Norris is also a conservative Christian, Falwell said. Like Falwell Jr., Norris also endorsed former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee for the Republican nomination for president.
