Well back then lot of them were similar actually. Because acting is a real art and profession. Nowadays they cast based on body etc, the movies themselves are not made where acting can shine at all. It is not in focus anymore...sadly

We were classmates/friends in high school. Great guy and very very bright. I don’t believe anyone saw at that time the level of success he eventually unleashed on the acting world. His role in American History X is uniquely one of the best performances I’ve seen.
At 83 years of age, I have had many favorite actors and actresses. But I'm here to tell you that. Edward Norton is my very, very favorite. He is excellent
He definitely got my vote when the very first time I've ever saw his work in Primal Fear I was awestruck for real Then I watched him against Robert DiNiro in Score. Robert DiNiro has been my favorite actor for a long time Ever since The Deer Hunter, never heard of him even though I had seen The Godfather 1&2, that's also the movie that I fell for another actor and he was The Incomparable Christopher Walken😅 another great actor.

Mr. Edward Norton is such a class act and a true gentleman. When you see Dave reading out all his movies and accomplishments, just look at Norton's reaction. He was feeling so proud and humble at the same time. He's always been one of my favorites.
How old is this Norton on Letterman Show? Letterman has been off TV for years. Your comment is listed at 12 hours ago. Help. I'm confused on the dates.
Yeah, I agree. I, like many, have watched Fight Club I just don't know how many times, my favorite of his. But he really gets to act alot as the lead also in American History X. Amazing movie, seen that too a number of times. I would recommend 25th Hour also. As far as being humble. He seems that he is. But when Dave was checking off some of his career highlights, I think Edward was thinking more along the lines of "have you seen any of my movies(?), and would you care to comment?!". But nope, nothing. Dave overall, seemed dismissive of Edward and at the very least just tolerant, and I think mocking when he said you're a regular Rich Little. If anyone didn't catch that, then you haven't watched enough of Letterman. I honestly thought Letterman was overall indifferent to edward. I. on the other hand, appreciate him a great deal, and have, since he started way back when..I think he's excellent.
@@obrewsky Dave Letterman and his business partner(s)[I'm assuming of the original show and agent(s)] recently started a UA-cam channel for the fans to bring the best episodes from the past for the fans, old and new. So just enjoy and keep it respectful. Thanks.
Alyssa forget that these things are not awarded in a vacuum. I think it’s almost always a hard call between two or three of the nominated people and sometimes all of them.
Ed Norton is one of the best actors. He gets into character with such ease and believability. After I saw him in Primal Fear, I was sold. I flipped out at the end of the movie. He is so convincing. I try to watch all his movies because he is such a superb actor. He has such range, convincingly playing either a good guy or a bad guy. One of the greatest actors.
Ed Norton is one of my very top favorites. His acting skill is second to none of all times, in my very opinion. Some actors got great roles that made them stars but Ed Norton makes every of his role memorable. He brings his characters to another level and even in an ensemble cast his character outshines others.
Me too......Stephen Colbert is very good but there's only ONE David Letterman and he is so special!! :) I have a flashlight that says in big letters on it "I FLOAT!" & everytime I pick it up, I sing the "Will it float ~ will it float?" from that odd segment he did occasionally where they'd drop all sorts of crazy things in a huge round tub of water that was on the stage!!! Silly but fun....stuck in my brain!! ;)
Edward Norton is one of my all time favourite actors. I just love his very special demeanour along with the film roles that he tends to fit so well into.
Wow. This is one of the greatest talk show interviews I’ve ever seen. Edward Norton is so quick and smart. Dave, of course, is a complete genius. He knows exactly when to lay back and exactly when to inch forward. This is gold star entertainment that was thrilling to watch.
@@howardsternisbatman I think he's a bit hit and miss. Gets some big stars on there, definetely funnier than the American late night guys but it's more informal/entertainment than say Parkinson.
Agreed! Anytime I think of him that's what I associate him with because I was the first time I ever saw him. I've not left a movie theater many times in my life being out astounded by the performance on screen but his did that to me
@@mariaroldan4200 ， OK, thank you. nice to know. Actually when talking about his way of acting different characters in movies very well with friends, I do say Edward Norton. :)
Great Actors talents being wasted past decade when Hollywood went all-in on Woke Agenda. Hollywood just makes Remakes Last 20 yrs now - 70s 80s 90s favorites get rebooted. But Mostly it’s animated CGI Comic book genre churn. Where’d all the great writer’s go?
Everyone always talks about his big, showy roles like Primal Fear, American History X, and Fight Club. And deservedly so. He was brilliant in those. But what convinced me that he was top 5 of his generation were the smaller roles, the subtler ones, like The People vs Larry Flynt, Kingdom of Heaven, and The Painted Veil.
Edward Norton is the most underrated actor. And seems like a really decent bloke to boot. Primal Fear and American History X are two of the most brilliant movies I've seen, and it was his character in both that blew me away.
I think that's one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time and it looks like David really enjoyed it. He's an interviewer's dream because he puts the interviewer at ease and makes him laugh.
I honestly think Dave usually hogs the conversation and seems to have a huge ego. Not as much in this conversation, but based on most "interviews" of his I've seen. Interviews in quotes because it often seems less like an interview, and more like the Dave Letterman performance with some other guy or girl there.
It's not only amazingly weird to hear Dave say the titles "Fight Club" and "Keeping The Faith" back to back, it is also a testimony of Norton's versatile talents.
1 million percent agree. The change from white boy nerd to hard-core Aerian could not have been portrayed any better. Ethan Suplee was brilliant too,,from Randy in my name is Earl to evil racist,,,no type casting here
I just watched Motherless Brooklyn yesterday on DVD & was astounded by his performance. All the actors were terrific & I love them all, but geez his was an incredible part & he nailed it entirely. BAV
I remember reading Primal Fear, and thinking it was the best book I’d read in ages. Not long after, the movie came out. It was excellent, and my first time seeing Edward Norton. I hoped he’d get more good roles because he was so good. He’s been in a lot of movies since, and they were all good. Ed Norton, imo, is a fantastic actor.
I’ve watched this so many times. And I’m a lawyer and he was fabulous in the People v. Larry Flint. And so was Woody Harrelson, another underrated actor.
Underrated actors of all time? Have you been living under a rock? For just about his entire, long, career I don't think I've heard his name mentioned without it being accompanied by heaps of praise for his acting talent.
This was a great interview! Letterman letting the guest talk and a lot. Always wondered how difficult to work with is Norton seeing his interviews are often very mild mannered, seems like a regular gentle guy.
I’ve always thought that Edward Norton should have won the 1997 best supporting actor Oscar for “Primal Fear”, instead of Cuba Gooding Jr., who won it for “Jerry Maguire”. It was his first movie, but I remember thinking what a phenomenal actor he was right from the start.
I thought he should've gotten something for Moonrise Kingdom. He played a totally different character for him and looked like he had a lot of fun playing him.
Ed Norton is one of my favorite actors. He was especially good in " The Illusionist. "Primal Fear" may be his best work. Looking forward to seeing great things from this extremely talented young man.
I know a fellow who is a private pilot in Kenya. He flew Ed Norton and said he was a great guy. Very friendly and unpretentious. That character comes through 100% here.
@@trumanupchurch4407 You can look forward to a book about Milos Forman later in 2023 (as you might know, Edward Norton starred in Forman’s “The People vs. Larry Flynt” and later directed him in “Keeping the Faith”). You do not know me, but I have worked as a journalist and film critic in Denmark for years, also covering Cannes for Danish television, so, yes, I did. You can check out my latest book, “Beyond Television”, for which I interviewed TV creators/showrunners/directors such as David Chase, David Simon, Nic Pizzolatto, Mary Harron, Peter Gould, Tom Fontana, Lesli Linka Glatter, Jay Duplass, Beau Willimon, Derek Cianfrance, Jesse Armstrong and Sam Levinson.
he's difficult because he's not one of the actors you pay and he comes in says his lines and leaves. He will be very intimate with the script to make his character better and he even does rewrites of the scripts. and hollywood just likes people that come say the lines and leave. I think thats the difference why he has so many classic movies with stunning performances.
Edward norton is such an awesome actor. I dont get mich into actors actresses and polotics and stuff, but he is so far under rated and just a genuine oassionate actor. I love it. Good job mr norton
I love this guy. I love the way they cast him to split personaties! He's done it at least 3 movies. When he co starred with Richard Gear that was the best one. Truly talented.
I fell in love with Edward Norton ever since I watched him in "PRIMAL FEAR" he should of already won academy awards by now, he has been over looked. Adore and love this man
I will NEVER forget the first time I saw Ed in, “Primal Fear”. No person has ever blown me away like he did, and it’s never happened again that way. His talent and humility are breathtaking 😍🙌🏼
I am 66 years old, and he is my favorite actor of all time....I believe we haven't seen the best of him...I haven't seen Primal Fear...but cant wait to see it....every movie I've seen is amazing, and so humble in this interview...yes...he is so underrated in his acting career....everyone can relate to all his characters.. it's amazing.....the best ever...
Ed Norton was unstoppable for awhile there, all those great films Letterman mentioned are within like 5 years of each other. I know sequels are frowned upon, but I'm a bit curious where his and Matt Damon's characters would be 25-30 years later, wow, Rounders is approaching 30.
Dave will be missed. He brought out the true nature of all the actors he interviewed. Miss the old show in the eighties when he’d pull pranks at McDonald’s and Taco Bell. Hope you’re having a great retirement…and I think it was very gentlemanly of you to have Norm McDonald as the final stand up act. Horrible to find out he’d been going through cancer for the previous nine years. For him to keep that secret took a lot of discipline. Take care Dave, and take care of your heart, no more injecting pure crisco in your arteries. Lol take care
Well he's still alive n well. Lives on his Ranch in Montana, where Buffalo are raised. He didn't hold back from sharing his thoughts on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. He reminded all that the night of his hosting the Academy Awards , nothing violent occurred
I remember watching Letterman whenever I was able to stay up that late. A lot of people (including my mother) didn't think he was funny. I have always thought he was better at being funny than he was a talk show host. Oddly enough, as I got older I feel differently about that previous assessment. I do feel his current interviews are much better. He seems more passionate about exploring his guest in ways most interviewers would not. Kind of a Trevor Noah/Arsenal Hall way.
My two brothers and I took my parents to the Producers on Broadway right around this time and as with Mr. Norton's show, Nathan Lane called in sick and we saw the understudy, who was indeed excellent. But it was a crushing blow to my mother, who was a Broadway aficionado and was so excited to see Mr. Lane in person.
Great underrated actor. Never in a bad movie. The academy needs to wake up honor this guy. Should have a few under his belt already. I really like him too in interviews. Grounded and very interesting guy
This guy brought my all time favourite super hero to life the incredible hulk and to this day it is the best MCU movie ever. Fight Club is a prime example of how versatile he is as an actor.
Edward is so seriously talented and a hilariously funny individual! Give this guy a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! He's earned it!!! Love this man's skill!!! 🙆♀️👍💕🙋♀️🥳🙇♀️🙏
Ed Norton is probably the most underappreciated underrated actors ever . He should have won numerous academy awards.

He is the onley actor who comes to talkshows with a natural state of mind .
I’ve always thought that Edward Norton should have won the 1997 best supporting actor Oscar for “Primal Fear”, instead of Cuba Gooding Jr., who won it for “Jerry Maguire”. It was his first movie, but I remember thinking what a phenomenal actor he was right from the start.
the Oscars are political. it has nothing to do with acting.
The Illusionist, is a great movie, Ed Norton ,Jessica Beil, Paul Giamatti,
What year was this
Cuba is black.
I thought he should've gotten something for Moonrise Kingdom. He played a totally different character for him and looked like he had a lot of fun playing him.
Norton barely changed his face and voice and instantly *became* Robert DeNiro. Wow!
That subtle Deniro was top shelf.
I mean you would wanna see a little more than that.
uh no not at all
@@charlesnye1736 - Yes
Deep Fake lol
From the first time I saw Ed Norton in a movie, a long time ago, I have been in awe of his talent
Ed Norton is one of my favorite actors. He was especially good in " The Illusionist. "Primal Fear" may be his best work. Looking forward to seeing great things from this extremely talented young man.
Was this comment actually 10 months ago? Edward is 54 years old, lol. This interview has to be 20 years old.
What a nice guy, and a great actor. Continued good luck to him. He deserves it.
Hollywood needs to remember what a real actor is like him. Skilllz
I know a fellow who is a private pilot in Kenya. He flew Ed Norton and said he was a great guy. Very friendly and unpretentious. That character comes through 100% here.
And equally a great actor.
I interviewed him a month ago, and he was very friendly and funny. Such a gifted actor and storyteller.
@@trumanupchurch4407 You can look forward to a book about Milos Forman later in 2023 (as you might know, Edward Norton starred in Forman’s “The People vs. Larry Flynt” and later directed him in “Keeping the Faith”). You do not know me, but I have worked as a journalist and film critic in Denmark for years, also covering Cannes for Danish television, so, yes, I did. You can check out my latest book, “Beyond Television”, for which I interviewed TV creators/showrunners/directors such as David Chase, David Simon, Nic Pizzolatto, Mary Harron, Peter Gould, Tom Fontana, Lesli Linka Glatter, Jay Duplass, Beau Willimon, Derek Cianfrance, Jesse Armstrong and Sam Levinson.
@@trumanupchurch4407 Why so hateful?
@@LasDellas Congratulations on all of your successes!🙏💜✌️
Easily one of the best actors out there,terrific personality as well
Been my favorite from the first time I saw him act. I couldn’t pick a favorite performance because each was brilliant. Love Ed
I agree he's definitely underrated he's a great actor
Given what a genuinely nice guy he seems to be, it's amazing how good he is at playing jerks!
The Painted Veil was a wonderful movie with a great cast, but Ed Norton made you feel everything.
Great interview. Notice how Dave allowed Edward to share his stories...without interruption?
Ahem Howard Stern
Ahem Jimmy Fallon
Edward Norton is fantastic in everything he does. David Letterman is so unbelievable at keeping itvall hilarious. GOAT of late night!
The Score is one of my favorite movies of all times! Norton is brilliant is it 👏 Absolutely
That was terrific. I know he has a reputation for being difficult, but he is very entertaining and interesting.
He is an amazing actor. A generational talent. I hear he is difficult to work with but always worth it. I wish he would act more.
he's difficult because he's not one of the actors you pay and he comes in says his lines and leaves. He will be very intimate with the script to make his character better and he even does rewrites of the scripts. and hollywood just likes people that come say the lines and leave. I think thats the difference why he has so many classic movies with stunning performances.
He probably carefully chooses roles
@@marcelladillard3556he was just in a Netflix murder mystery lmao I don’t think that was hand picked
@@Giuseppe326 Everyone needs to pay the bills...:/
@@Giuseppe326 It was in theaters first...
One of the best in his field. He hit it out of the park in Primal Fear and from then on I had to watch everything he does. Never disappointed.
Me too.
Same, if Ed Norton is in it, I’ll see it. What a treat.
@@debbiepowers4743 do you mean “is in it?”
@@donrood7282 yes, thanks.
Great comment !!!
Loved the Letterman show. Tons of great stuff. This interview brings back the time . Life was better back then
Edward norton is such an awesome actor. I dont get mich into actors actresses and polotics and stuff, but he is so far under rated and just a genuine oassionate actor. I love it. Good job mr norton
I love this guy. I love the way they cast him to split personaties! He's done it at least 3 movies. When he co starred with Richard Gear that was the best one. Truly talented.
Love Edward Norton, think he's a very talented actor who deserves more credit.
Spent a few minutes with him in a doctor's office waiting room...real chill dude.
Spot on seem lije a good guy primeal fear rocks or was it ha ha end scene
After visiting those apartments.
Extraordinary person, exceptionally talented, modest, authentic. What a most beautiful human. Love Ed!
Ed Norton is one of my favorite actors. Truly an artist that is totally underrated.
I fell in love with Edward Norton ever since I watched him in "PRIMAL FEAR" he should of already won academy awards by now, he has been over looked. Adore and love this man
Ed Norton is amazing and totally not given enough attention in this business he is incredible
I will NEVER forget the first time I saw Ed in, “Primal Fear”. No person has ever blown me away like he did, and it’s never happened again that way. His talent and humility are breathtaking 😍🙌🏼
I am 66 years old, and he is my favorite actor of all time....I believe we haven't seen the best of him...I haven't seen Primal Fear...but cant wait to see it....every movie I've seen is amazing, and so humble in this interview...yes...he is so underrated in his acting career....everyone can relate to all his characters.. it's amazing.....the best ever...
Edward Norton is great. He should be in more movies.
Edward Norton is such an excellent actor!!!
Ed Norton was unstoppable for awhile there, all those great films Letterman mentioned are within like 5 years of each other. I know sequels are frowned upon, but I'm a bit curious where his and Matt Damon's characters would be 25-30 years later, wow, Rounders is approaching 30.
Dave will be missed. He brought out the true nature of all the actors he interviewed. Miss the old show in the eighties when he’d pull pranks at McDonald’s and Taco Bell. Hope you’re having a great retirement…and I think it was very gentlemanly of you to have Norm McDonald as the final stand up act. Horrible to find out he’d been going through cancer for the previous nine years. For him to keep that secret took a lot of discipline. Take care Dave, and take care of your heart, no more injecting pure crisco in your arteries. Lol take care
Well he's still alive n well. Lives on his Ranch in Montana, where Buffalo are raised. He didn't hold back from sharing his thoughts on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. He reminded all that the night of his hosting the Academy Awards , nothing violent occurred
I remember watching Letterman whenever I was able to stay up that late. A lot of people (including my mother) didn't think he was funny. I have always thought he was better at being funny than he was a talk show host. Oddly enough, as I got older I feel differently about that previous assessment. I do feel his current interviews are much better. He seems more passionate about exploring his guest in ways most interviewers would not. Kind of a Trevor Noah/Arsenal Hall way.
That this actor could ever feel "less than". He is an incredible talent, one of the best actors ever.
Ed Norton wins hearts! Much bigger than any Oscar/Academy award!
I love Edward Norton he is a Great Actor! Love his choice of movies he really gives his all.
Every time I see a movie featuring Ed Norton I watch it; he always makes his characters believable.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
And interesting.
My two brothers and I took my parents to the Producers on Broadway right around this time and as with Mr. Norton's show, Nathan Lane called in sick and we saw the understudy, who was indeed excellent. But it was a crushing blow to my mother, who was a Broadway aficionado and was so excited to see Mr. Lane in person.
Definitely a great actor and very underrated and underappreciated.
The Painted Veil, was a movie that he was amazing in. I sobbed.
Great underrated actor. Never in a bad movie. The academy needs to wake up honor this guy. Should have a few under his belt already. I really like him too in interviews. Grounded and very interesting guy
I cannot disagree.
This guy brought my all time favourite super hero to life the incredible hulk and to this day it is the best MCU movie ever. Fight Club is a prime example of how versatile he is as an actor.
Loved him in the Hulk. So sad they didn't do the next one ...
What a super guy, I wish this clip was an hour long. Top shelf in my book.
Edward is so seriously talented and a hilariously funny individual! Give this guy a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! He's earned it!!! Love this man's skill!!! 🙆♀️👍💕🙋♀️🥳🙇♀️🙏
The movie Score is one of the most underrated masterpieces of Hollywood.
