About Norman

Norman D. Golden II was born in Racine Wisconsin and raised in the South Bay Area of Southern California. Norman is best known for his co-starring role as Devon Butler in the movie "Cop and a Half" with Burt Reynolds. Norman has appeared in movies such as "There Are No Children Here" starring Oprah Winfrey and the remake of "Moby Dick" starring Patrick Steward and The Late Gregory Peck.

Norman has always had a passion for filmmaking and values the importance of education. He earned his BA in Liberal Arts with a concentration in creative writing at Antioch University Los Angeles.

Since taking a bit of a hiatus from acting, Norman teaches filmmaking courses at public, private and charter schools throughout California and New York City and was a frequent guest lecturer for an ethnomusicology class at UCLA.

Quite a diverse artist, Norman has transitioned to behind-the-camera writing and producing for Film and Television. Norman’s work as a producer and writer includes a collaboration with Apple Inc. where he served as a producer on a short documentary entitled “La Buena Muerte” and an independent short film entitled “Misperception”, co-written, produced and starring Norman. Norman’s personal motto is simple: “Never Give Up”!
