He seems to be way underrated here,but i think he's the best actor of his generation,just watch Primal Fear,American History X and Fight Club.

Nice One, Johnny!!

I am a big fan of Edward Norton. I particularly liked him in Fight Club, as well as American History X. I think that the fact that he is so good at the "good guy" "bad guy" roles is really impressive....

He is an amazingly gifted actor. "Primal Fear" is a superb film, and I think his performance (his debut) was worthy of an Oscar nomination.

I agree to everything said here. He was simply fantastic in "Primal Fear", pretty scary in "American History X", and cute and funny in "Keeping the Faith". I still haven't seen "Fight Club", but I'm very confident that he's just as great as he always is. He didn't win an Oscar yet, did he? Though I seem to remember he's been nominated several times. I would've given him the trophy right away for his work in "Primal Fear"!!!

I agree with everyone here. I love Eddy. All his movies. In "Keeping the Faith" I have never had such a crush on a priest before. Well maybe GABRIEL BYRNE in "Stymata."

He's an excellent actor. I was able to see "Primal Fear" for the first time in August and was blown away by his performance. "Death to Smoochy" was nearly worth sitting through just to see him act.

mcbrides1, I ABSOLUTELY understand you! I felt the same... also with Gabriel Byrne in "Stigmata"
Well, not really, but you know what I mean...

You got a third vote here McBrides I love Norton I love all of his movies but I really do think "Everyone Says I Love You" was rather unfortunate for all involved.

I first saw Edward Norton in The Score. I was so impressed with his acting that I started renting older movies of his. Fight Club was so amazing -- it's now the official cult film of my household. My daughters and I feel like a mini- Ed Norton fan club! Primal Fear, American History X, and Death To Smoochy were both good too but not at the level of Fight Club, we thought . Maybe it was Brad Pitt's co-starring in that movie that made it so irresistable... We can't wait to see Red Dragon.

I like him too, The Score is most memorable because of his performance. I doubt I'll see him in American History X, but I'll check out Fight Club some day now thanks to this thread.

Oops, that got transmitted before I finished. I've only seen Edward Norton in Primal Fear, and I thought he was amazing, just chilling in that movie.

My daughter says that she's going to marry him!
Sue he was in 'Primal Fear', 'Death to Smoochie' amd 'American History X' to name but a few. He's really very good.

I think that to say Edward Norton was "scary" in American History X is to devalue a powerful performance that showed how Derek (the character) had evolved from a racist to realizing how hate had ruled his life, and the ending moved me to tears.
