The career of Edward Norton as one of Hollywood’s most compelling actors is not just your average success story. In fact, Norton graduated from Yale with a bachelor’s degree in history before he even hit the Hollywood scene. While in college, he participated in theatre productions, which led to an invite into a Signature Theatre Company production. In 1996, after teen heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio turned down the lead role in a movie titled Primal Fear, the director, in his search for a replacement, was blown away by the then-unknown Norton’s impressive audition. In his feature film debut, Norton’s amazing performance as an altar boy accused of murder turned him into an acclaimed Golden Globe winner and an Academy Award-nominated actor.
Norton has played a wide diversity of roles, from an FBI Agent in his latest film, Red Dragon, to a priest in Keeping the Faith, and even a Barney-like children’s television personality in Death to Smoochy. Also on his resume are directing and producing credits for Keeping the Faith and a screenplay writing credit for longtime girlfriend Salma Hayek’s new film Frida, in which he made a cameo appearance.
Norton is probably most acknowledged for his portrayal of controversial characters. In his second Academy Award-nominated performance in American History X, Norton played Derek Vinyard, a modern-day white supremacist who eventually reforms after spending some time in prison. While this emotionally charged movie is hard to watch, it is a must for fans of Norton’s acting range and proficiency.
Norton’s other controversial role came in the controversial movie The People vs. Larry Flynt, a film depicting the life of Hustler Magazine mogul Larry Flynt; Norton played his lawyer, defending Flynt’s right to freedom of speech. Norton’s other film credits include Fight Club, The Score, and Rounders, among several others.
In addition to an exceptionally impressive resume of films, Norton also has professional theatre experience under his belt. Since his start in 1994 with the Signature Theatre Company in New York City, he has taken part in a variety of plays; most recently, Norton performed with his Death to Smoochy co-star Catherine Keener in Burn This, a play by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lanford Wilson.
Norton is respected because of his impressive career, articulate and charming personality, and natural talent, but we can’t leave out his charisma and eye-catching good looks. At the young age of 33, with several projects ahead of him, there is no doubt that Edward Norton will be around for a very long time. Thanks, Leo.
Next up for Norton is The 25th Hour, a film by director Spike Lee which depicts the last day a man named Monty Brogan (Norton) has before beginning a 7-year prison term for drug dealing.
