When it comes to versatile actors, Edward Norton is right up there for me with Johnny Depp. Norton can play any role, from a mentally challenged defendant to a superhero, to a hillbilly and everything in between. At the end of the day, there are not many people who do a better job.
Here are some of my favorite films featuring Edward Norton in a lead or supporting role.
In an incredibly dark yet gripping film, Edward Norton played the part of Lester "Worm" Murphy in Rounders. If you like gambling, movies about gambling, poker, Matt Damon or any combination of the above, Rounders is worth seeing. Supposedly they are currently working on a second installment of this movie. Although I'm not exactly sure how that would work.
The second movie that definitely makes the cut of great Edward Norton films is The Score. Taking an influence from his role in Primal Fear, Norton plays a mentally disabled custodian and does a very convincing job. This is a great heist movie.
No list of Edward Norton films would be complete without mentioning American History X. This is a tough film to watch, but definitely an important one to see. This is not recommended for viewing with a younger audience.
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.
One film that I feel is definitely worth mentioning is Fight Club. This movie is in my top 10 favorites of all time, and as cool as Brad Pitt's character was, it was Norton's character made this movie what it is.
Hopefully there are one or more films from the great Edward Norton in this article which you have yet to see.
