Aaron Norris Net Worth $3 Million

Born to Ray and Wilma Norris, Aaron was raised with his brothers – is elder brother is actor Chuck Norris – in the Los Angeles area. His father, Ray, was a Cherokee Indian who fought and was wounded at the World War Two Battle of the Bulge, and his mother is of Irish descent. His father was an alcoholic, which led to a divorce and his mother moving the family to Torrence, California.

Aaron, taking patriotic cues from his father, decided to join the Army at 17, in which he trained in the Non-Commission Officers Academy, due to his leadership abilities, and within a year, Aaron was a Sergeant. Soon his brother Wieland also enlisted, and they were both sent to Vietnam – sadly, Wieland never made it home. After Vietnam, Aaron spent the final years of his military career in command of his own platoon on the DMZ in Korea.

Once he returned home, Norris took up work as a stuntman, usually going uncredited. However it helped him get his foot in the film acting door, and in 1978 he got his first role in “Good Guys Wear Black”, and continued steadily with roles in films such as “A Force of One” (1979) and “Lone Wolf McQuade” (1983) among others, all of which were successes and contributed heavily to his net worth.

In 1988, Norris made his directorial debut with the film “Braddock: Missing in Action III”; although the movie was a Chuck Norris vehicle, it showed that Aaron was capable of directing action movies, and he continued to focus on directing instead of acting, helming such films as “Platoon Leader” (1988), “Delta Force 2: The Columbian Connection” (1990), “The Hitman” (1991), and “Forest Warrior” (1996). All of these also helped contribute to his net worth, but still he wanted more.

In 1995, he established the Tanglewood Entertainment Group, which allowed him to get into international film distribution. The company went on to produce and oversee the distribution of over a dozen films throughout the world, most of which were of course directed by Aaron Norris, and starred his brother, Chuck. Norris is also the current President of Norris Bros. Entertainment. These companies allowed Norris to expand outside of acting and directing, and grow his net worth through various other channels.

Norris also has other achievements from his life. He served as the executive producer for the popular TV show “Walker, Texas Ranger” (1996-2001); furthermore, in 2010 Texas Governor Rick Perry gave Norris the honorary title of “Texas Ranger”. Norris also co-founded the Actionfest Film Festival.

Regarding his personal life, Norris has been married to Rebecca since 1981, and they have three children. Norris is also a ninth-degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, the martial art developed by brother Chuck.

At 11 he started his first business attempt, selling celebrity and sports memorabilia.

Tony Lee Dow was born on 13 April 1945 in Hollywood, California USA. He is a well-known person in the Hollywood movie industry because of his long-lasting involvement as a film producer, director and an actor.

So how rich is Tony Dow? Sources estimate his current net worth to be $4 million. Most of it he has accumulated by working as a professional Hollywood actor for more than 50 years.

Tony Dow Net Worth $4 Million

Tony Dow’s interest in the film industry might have been related to the fact that his mother, Muriel Virginia Dow, was a stunt woman and a film double at the time Tony was a child and teenager. However, Tony undoubtedly had some acting talent which was proven when he managed to win the audition for a role in the sitcom “Leave It to Beaver” in 1957, despite having no experience in acting at that time. This was the role that had perhaps the most influence in building a solid foundation to Tony Dow’s acting career, even though he received only one award – Young Artist Award in nomination of “Former Child Star Lifetime Achievement Award” in 1988, after working in the show for six years. It was also a solid start to his net worth.

In the next few years after “Leave It to Beaver”, Tony appeared in several episodes of other TV shows, such as the sitcom “My Three Sons” (in 1964), drama series “Mr. Novak” (between 1963 and 1965) and teen soap opera “Never Too Young” (in 1965). Tony continued working in television up until the late 90s and his net worth continued to grow, for example in 1975 he starred in the popular medical TV drama “General Hospital”.

While Tony Dow is mostly known as a television actor, he has appeared in a few films during his career, including the television horror film “Death Scream” in 1975, comedy film “The Kentucky Fried Movie” in 1977, television comedy film “High School USA” in 1983, comedy “Back to the Beach” and comedy film “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star” in 2003.

Acting aside, Tony Dow is also known as a producer, director and visual effects specialist, especially in the science fiction genre, and these involvements have undoubtedly contributed to building up his net worth. Tony contributed to the visual effects of the 1996 season of the phenomenal British science fiction TV series “Doctor Who”, and a few episodes of the space opera TV series “Babylon 5”. He also directed an episode of the American science fiction TV series “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” in 1998.

Interestingly though, some people might also recognize Tony Dow as a sculptor who is well known for his brilliant abstract pieces depicting surreal figures.

In his personal life, Tony Dow has never been married and has no children. He is known to have suffered from depression during some periods of his life, which on a positive note has encouraged him to participate in self-help videos, including the production “Beating the Blues” (1998). However, the negative effect is that Tony hasn’t participated as an actor in any film since 2003.
