Edward Norton.
I don’t know why, but it seems people never talk about that guy. But man, he is a very good actor, I would give him Oscar just for American History X role alone. Here are some of his best roles, in my opinion.
This is the story of the last twenty four hours Monty Brogan (Norton) gets to spend with his two best friends, Frank (Pepper), a bonds trader, and Jakob (Hoffman), a high school English teacher, and his girlfriend, Naturelle (Dawson), before he goes to prison for seven years for pushing heroin, as they party the night away in New York City one last time
That's a very touching movie, but the most important thing is about human interaction. It seems he is the one with a problem, but his friends, family, etc. don't really listen to him, but concentrated on their own problems. Reminds me of real life too much. Also, rises the question, what would you do in situation like that one.
Edward Norton gives an impassioned performance as Derek Vinyard, a Southern Californian skinhead who must do time after committing a hateful murder. Once in jail, his mind opens and he sees the error of his ways. Upon reentering the real world, he must now turn his attentions to his younger brother Danny, who is swiftly heading down the same path as his brother.
What can I say, contains one of my all time favorite quotes: "Has anything you've done made your life better?"
I don’t know what else to say, go and watch it!
FIGHT CLUB is narrated by a lonely, unfulfilled young man (Edward Norton) who finds his only comfort in feigning terminal illness and attending disease support groups. Hopping from group to group, he encounters another pretender, or "tourist," the morose Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), who immediately gets under his skin. However, while returning from a business trip, he meets a more intriguing character--the subversive Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). They become fast friends, bonding over a mutual disgust for corporate consumer-culture hypocrisy. Eventually, the two start Fight Club, which convenes in a bar basement where angry men get to vent their frustrations in brutal, bare-knuckle bouts. Fight Club soon becomes the men's only real priority; when the club starts a cross-country expansion, things start getting really crazy.
Who didn’t see this coming? Come on guys, you know movie wouldn’t be the same without Ed narration there. These words “With Insomnia nothing is real…” are like music to my ears
Again, if you didn’t see that movie, you didn’t experience your life to the fullest yet.
Okay here are some more movies with him, which I recommend you to see:
The Score
Primal Fear
Italy Job
Rounders
