I was wondering how many television stars out there are martial artists and what their ranks are?

If you know of any more names then please add:

- Bob Barker of "The Price Is Right" has a black belt in karate and a red belt in tang soo do karate under Chuck Norris.


- Ed O'Neill of Married With Children earned his black belt in Brazilian Ju-Jitsu in 2007.

Chuck Norris of "Walker, Texas Ranger"is an eighth degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and is also a black belt in Tung Soo Do another Korean martial art.

- Chuck Zito of OZ has a black belt in karate.

- Adrian Paul of Highlander has extensive background in Tae Kwon Do, Wing Chun, and boxing. He is also an accomplished swordsman of the katana.

I became casually aware that the always-lovely Nia Peeples had developed an interest in martial arts several years ago.As of this date, I remain unaware if she has kept up with it or simply given it up.If she is still involved with that,I wonder what rank she would have acheived by now.
