Edward Norton
ACTOR FILMOGRAPHY (ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES)
FILMMAKER FILMOGRAPHY - (COMPLETE)
One of the
greatest acting talents Hollywood has seen since Marlon
Brando, Edward Norton burst onto the scene with a bang in
Gregory Hoblit’s surprise 1996 hit Primal
Fear,
earning an Oscar nomination for his brilliantly enigmatic portrayal of
Aaron Stampler. He followed up with nuanced performances in Milos
Forman’s The
People vs. Larry Flynt
and Woody Allen’s
Everyone
Says I Love You,
before making clever choices with the intricate Rounders
and the powerful American
History X
in 1998 – earning another Oscar nod and cementing his place among the
true elite. Norton’s dedication to his roles is unique: he famously
fooled Hoblit by adopting a Kentucky accent before Primal Fear,
trained for the real World Poker Championship alongside Matt Damon
before Rounders, and transformed physically for American
History X into a character worlds apart from his earlier work. With
David Fincher's Fight
Club,
Norton once again took a bold, smart risk that, despite mixed reviews,
boosted his popularity. He made his directorial debut with the uneven
Keeping
the Faith
(2000) and has since then been highly selective with roles. His talent
remains unquestioned, however, and with continued smart choices, Norton
could become one of cinema’s all-time greats.
