Legendary martial arts and Hollywood actor Chuck Norris pleaded with Republican voters to support GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, fearing that a "no" vote would give the Democrats the White House and Congress.

In an op-ed, "The People Have Spoken," for the right-wing website WND.com, Norris -- a long-time Mike Huckabee supporter -- wrote in almost breathless tone how afraid he is that the Obama "craziness" would continue with a Hillary Clinton presidency:

"And most grievous of all, justice seats on the U.S. Supreme Court will be filled by Hillary's nominees, and their next decade of decisions will certainly dismantle or destroy what is left of our republic."

Here are five takeaways from his Trump endorsement:

1) Watch "Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party." Released a day after the Republican National Convention ended, the new film by controversial conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza attempts to show how Democrats are trying to "steal America."

2) Clinton could be elected by default. If voters stay home, or "reluctant Republicans and other freedom-loving citizens don't rally now behind GOP nominee Donald Trump," Clinton and down-ballot Democrats will win.

3) Trump is "sincere." Norris only met Trump once -- 42 years ago -- but that was enough to get a measure of the quality of his character:

"I haven't seen or spoken to him since. However, I will tell you, I liked him. He was very friendly and sincere."

4) Trump's character. Norris points to Trump's family as a testament to his character and personhood.

"Consider not only how poised and positive Trump's adult children are but also how much they admire and respect their father. Even the liberal media, with all of its bias against Trump, cannot say a negative thing about how much his children love him, and how much he loves his children."

5) Trump is "the real deal." The "type of family passion and values" the Trump family displays says it all, Norris says.

"Once Trump occupies the White House, "The People's House," his family will grow so to speak to include the American people. He will stand up for us - all of us."

He goes on to call on Reagan Democrats, as well establishment, moderate, liberal or conservative Republicans to unite behind Trump "for the good of our country," closing with the Ben Franklin quote: "We must all hang together, or most assuredly we will all hang separately."

Will Norris' endorsement be enough for Ted Cruz conservatives or moderate independents, who'd rather stay home than vote for Clinton?
