Leonardo Dicaprio vs Edward Norton


Who do you believe is the better actor?

reply

^was going to say basically this. Norton clearly has better acting chops and has given many performances better than anything Leo's done.

reply

Edward Norton.

DiCaprio is a great actor but is overrated. Norton on his part doesn't seem to get the attention he deserves. His performances in American History X, Fight Club, Birdman and The Illusionist will always have a special place in my heart.

DiCaprio totally nailed it in The Departed and Django Unchained and also has a special place in my heart for this.

But if I have to pick... Norton.

There's a click-bait article about Norton that claims he constantly wants to re-write scripts for movies he's involved with, and is generally a smarter-than-thou pain in the butt. I don't care about this sort of stuff, but if it prevents EN from being in quality films, then that's a damn shame.

Norton has a better range.

Dicaprio

Norton better than Dicaprio? Is this thread a joke?

reply

No, Edward is a much better actor.

reply

Edward Norton is the better actor. 25th Hour, Primal Fear, Fight Club, American History X, etc etc

DiCaprio gets more roles and attention because he is better looking
