    There is not only a physical similarity:

    But there are also biographical parallels.

    Scorates was an attention seeking controversialist who was forced to drink hemlock for allegedly corrupting the youth of Athens.

    Norris is being filleted by the Irish media for his homosexuality.

    Slight problem with that. It's not Norris's sexuality that's causing any of the controversy...

    Yeah but no...Socrates is actually masquerading as Norris as he travelled into the future and adopted a new alias. Not only is "Norris" an academic (philosopher), he talks about ancient Greece a lot.
