Dean Norris
Dean Norris is that guy whose face you recognize instantly, even if you can’t quite remember his name right away. Seriously, he’s everywhere. Most folks probably know him best as Hank Schrader, the wisecracking DEA agent from Breaking Bad. The guy brought so much grit and humor to Hank that he pretty much stole every scene. He even popped back up as Hank again in Better Call Saul, which was a fun nod for fans who can’t get enough of the Breaking Bad universe.
But Dean’s not a one-trick pony. He dove headfirst into all sorts of roles—like playing the ruthless “Big Jim” Rennie in Under the Dome. Guy really knows how to make you love to hate him. Then there’s Uncle Daddy in Claws, a role that’s basically equal parts terrifying and hilarious. Pure chaos, honestly.
His filmography is straight-up stacked. Norris has been in everything from old-school action flicks like Lethal Weapon 2, Total Recall, and Terminator 2, to cult hits like Starship Troopers. He even popped up in lighter stuff like Little Miss Sunshine and Evan Almighty. The man’s range is wild. More recently, you might’ve caught him in The Book of Henry, Death Wish, or Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Over 50 movies, 100 TV shows—he’s the definition of a working actor. He just keeps showing up, nailing every part, making every project a little better just by being there.
