Norman D. Golden II (born April 7, 1984) is an American former actor best known for his performance in the 1993 film Cop and a Half as Devon Butler. He is also a rapper who goes by the name of Enormus.
Career
In 1992, Golden became a series regular on Fox's True Colors. The sitcom, about an interracial family and their learning to co-exist, was canceled shortly after Golden's arrival in the second season. In 1993, Golden starred in the motion picture Cop and a Half with Burt Reynolds. His last known acting job was a television remake of Moby-Dick in 1998 because he wanted to make a bigger focus on his education.
For a period, he performed as a rapper known as Enormus. However, in a 2024 interview he referred to his period as a professional rapper as a "phase" which he is no longer pursuing professionally and now instead retains a "hobby".
