This is embarassing but though I'm a stage actor and I like old movies but I missed the Edward Norton wave. But I just picked up a copy of American History X and I watched it last night and I've got to say that's the greatest performance by an actor I have EVER seen. When you can downstage something even as extraordinary as the acting in Scorsese's Cape Fear then you are definitely God. Also all rightful credit for Edward Furlong who starred with Edward Norton in the movie.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves though.
Come on guys! I'm an actor. You're putting the bar way too high. All respect to DeNiro too who openly praises Norton.

im one of the older millennials who are not worshiping the marvel that fanatically although i do follow the mcu movies and like it, but there's too many ignorant millenials and the younger generation who doesnt know ed norton are hating him for rejecting to play the hulk n saying he must have regret it, well they just cant understand not everyone is fancy of superhero characters or movies, there are other genres in the world for fork sake. ed norton is not just iconic in fight club n american history x, i first watched n admired him when i watched the illusionist. all these childish mcu fans, i cant even

He's a great actor yes but also there's also been word that he's an utter DICKHEAD in real life!
As far back as American History X, he didn't trust the editor to properly cut the movie together and insisted on being apart of the editing process. Also Marvel replacing him with Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk with insiders saying he was a nightmare to work with on set.
I mean there are a lot of talented people in the industry but if your just a total JERK it often can be as easy as, I'm just not gonna work with you. Simple as that

I unfortunately ran into this actor while flying my airplane into Van Nuys Airport. He was in a small acft himself (believe a C-182) and I likely trying to improve his pilot skills. Perhaps he was having a bad day but he was extremely verbally abusive of the ground crew parking/serving all of the GA aircraft. I had my young children with me and quickly yelled hey and motioned to my kids. He shot back a nasty response at which point I asked him what was wrong with him.

He is one of the best actors of his generation and also a unique figure in Hollywood. He is extremely talented but he is also criticized for being a difficult person. So what! The guy is just a perfectionist. Don't forget that Norton also had Oscar nominations for Primal Fear, American History X, and Birdman. The reason that Hollywood Stopped Casting Edward Norton is because Hollywood don't make real quality movies anymore!

The real reason is that he was trying to find meaning in being a Hollywood actor. Basically it was an act of futility and people got tired of it. That's why he's trying to do docu-dramas. This is what happens when you mistake entertainment for art. Sometimes they can be both but never by Hollywood design.

I think Edward Norton nailed his role in the Incredible Hulk. He made Hulk his own, in just one movie and has great depth in acting to have taken the Hulk beyond just the Avengers. Edward Norton is a phenomenally under appreciated Actor. He is a star in my book, head and shoulders above most.

I wish he stayed as an actor, he is so unique, and continued doing what he is good at. My always very favourite actor! he is just too good for things like Sausage Party. Such a fine actor and tender soul. Different to so many. Love him. I think he was the best at Primal fear.
