Was Ray Park supposed to be Chuck Norris? In the US release he's referred to as Rolex and the way he's treated by Bruce in his one scene, a major fight, I can't see the creators could be as ignorant as having him be Chuck.
Yes, he was suppose to be Chuck Norris. A lot of the names of people were changed in the series such Dan Inosanto (changed to Professor Inosanto), Raymond Chow, Lo Wei. Exact reasons was probably due to rights of name use. Dragon: The Bruce Lee story didn't use Raymond Chow's real name either.
I an't afraid of no ghosts!
Yeah they do that sometimes. Just like the character David Koffer is really Gary Elms.

Lee defeated three-time Hong Kong Inter-School amateur boxing champion Gary Elms by way of knockout in the third round in the 1958 Hong Kong Inter-School amateur Boxing Championships held between 12 Hong Kong schools. Lee used Wing Chun traps and high/low-level straight punches.
