When discussing actors based on talent and versatility, one person who I always think is at the top of the list is Edward Norton. Ever since his breakout role in Primal Fear, Edward Norton has been considered one of the more talented actors in Hollywood.
Here are some of my favorite films featuring Edward Norton in a lead or supporting role.
I will start this list out with one of the roles that put him on the map in the eyes of the public, and that of course, was Primal Fear. I do not want to give anything away about this movie for those of you who have yet to see it, but this is amazing movie worth seeing.
Another great Edward Norton film is The Illusionist. This movie had the peculiar misfortune of coming out right around the same time as The Prestige, which starred Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and was directed by Christopher Nolan, and as a result was overshadowed.
Showcasing his amazing versatility, Edward Norton portrays a hateful nazi (is there any other kind?) in American History X. This movie is currently ranked as number 40 of all time on the Internet movie database (imdb.com). If you are unfamiliar with the Internet movie database, it takes into account the voting of its hundreds of thousands of members in choosing the greatest films of all time. If you make it into the top 250 it is considered quite the accomplishment. If you make it into the top 50, well that's just amazing.
One film of Edward Norton's that you probably have not seen is Leaves Of Grass. This movie was released in 2009 and in a very Adaptation-esque style, features Norton playing a set of twins. One is a brilliant hillbilly drug dealer, while the other is your average Joe.
Fight Club simply put, has to make any Edward Norton list. Tyler Durden is an iconic character and this is easily one of the best films of the 1990s. It also happens to be David Fincher's best film to date, in my opinion. Everything from the dialogue in this film, to the acting, to the cinematography is just perfect.
Hopefully there are one or more films from the great Edward Norton in this article which you have yet to see.
