No matter how his career goes...
...Wes Anderson will always hire him.
shareMaybe so, but just to chime in - I've never been a fan of his. ALways thought he was overrated. In fact, I can't think of one performance by him I really liked. He was tolerable in "The Score". That's about it.
shareSometimes actors get unfairly tagged as just playing themselves in every role, as if their performance come so naturally that it doesn't even qualify as acting. Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, and James Garner come to mind in this regard. In Edward Norton's case, however, I think the shoe fits. He seems to play the same sort of whiny tough guy in most every role. Sometimes this suits a film well, like Fight Club and American History X, and often it doesn't. Norton would've fit in perfectly as one of the meatheaded Boston Southies in Good Will Hunting.
shareLoved The SCORE.. Norton did a great job acting mentally challenged that if that movie were made in 2024, Norton would be the victim of #cancel culture over it
