Clayton Norcross was born on September 8, 1954 at Edwards Air Force Base and was raised in Arcadia, California. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Telecommunications and Film Production from San Diego State University. His breakout role was the portrayal of Thorne Forrester on the runaway hit, soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful (1987).

This was the first of 4 contract roles he would play on television. The other 3 are: Milagros (2000), The Mystery Woman (2017), and the Italian sketch comedy 'A Place in the Heart'.

Clayton's love of the stage led him to perform in "Agency" for The Coast Playhouse and "Los Angeles Stories" at The Victory Theatre. He became internationally well-known when The Bold and the Beautiful (1987) was syndicated in over 100 countries worldwide.

Clayton divides his time between Hollywood and Europe, working in film, TV and theatre. His recent television credits include the CBS prime time series, Hawaii Five-0 (2010), Omicidio su misura (2012), and the British action miniseries, Air Force One Is Down (2013), where he co-starred with Linda Hamilton, and Jeremy Sisto.

For the past few years, 2012, Clayton's been shopping a self-penned screenplay, entitled 'Brutal Angels'. When he's not busy in front of the camera, Clayton spends his time volunteering at environmental organizations, including Heal the Bay, World Wildlife Fund and California League of Conservation Voters.
