Totally

Completely agree!!

He's not underrated nor underappreciated.

Such a dumb ass take. He is by no metric underrated haha. Dude has been an A-lister for for nearly 30 years has been NOMINATED 3 times for Oscars won golden globe and SAG awards. Save for Daniel Day-Lewis nobody really wins two let alone MULTIPLE Oscar’s. Not being historically great is not an indictment on his talent or appreciation. T

He's on MY top list.

Amen.

Wilde Lake?

Do you have any story that you can share?... Are you close to him now?

Best movie…everyone should see it once

Primal Fear

Completely fooled me with the ending of that one. He was excellent.

I agree

Truly legendary.

Still cant believe that was his first acting gig!!

100%

Freaky ending

Absolutely.....NEVER bettered

I still get blown away by his performance in that. He's impressive in just about everything. Norton is at the acting top of his generation. Imho.

Seems to be.

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

Sad to think of this guy as somehow intellectually superior in any way, shape or form. When the C students look like A+ you know you are in trouble.

​@@zeus1117nahh not always

@@maguffintop2596 When people are judged by their scores in a school system as degenerate as ours is, we know there's something a little off kilter. The questions might be coming a thousand years late, but at least they're coming.

Underrated? His net worth is 380 million dollars and he makes 10 million dollars per movie ... And just look up his list of awards and nominations. It is quite impressive.

I gave him several awards to make up for the ones you owed him.

Always amusing to see people rip off the top comment by only slightly rewording it a year after the original was posted.... It's amazing what scrubs will do for absolutely meaningless likes. Maybe one day you'll actually have an original thought of your own... then again that's probably a longshot anyways.

That uNdErRaTeD actor literally got an Oscar nomination on his first film. LMFAO He's one of the most respected actors of all time. The word underrated is one of the most self explanatory words in the English language and yet Gen Z couldn't use the word properly if their life depended on it.

I couldn't agree more.

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.

@@obrewsky i'm too😅

No he's not. I live in Jersey City :) (1:33)

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 UKposts 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.

Glass Onion: Knives out he is in. I know that's not what you meant, but it's good😉

He is phenomenal is all his movies - in the Keaton film Birdman he was amazing. He takes over a scene like a more flamboyant Sean Penn.

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?

yes plz more Ed Norton movies.

Das ist unglaublich!!!

Definitely one of the greatest interviews ever! I've always admired Edward Norton, as a performer and as a human.

Genius? Letterman? Ummmm... no.

Check out Michael Parkinson, guy was a genius interviewer.

Graham Norton's show is pretty good. Look him up.

@@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.

Primal fear greatest twist since six sense

​@@Dubriginalyeah, no. PF-1996; 6th Sense-1998.

Ed, is that you?

He was great as brad pitt.

The trick is to get 100 TVs and watch ALL his movies at the same time!

@jess...I agree 100%

deniros protege

@@jamesbenchimol1537 deNiro doesn't have that much range, in my opinion.

Do not call him Ed! He hates it!

@@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. :)

What's farther? Chicago or by train???

I am Jack's total agreement.

With enough classes he might reach the knees of Hugh Laurie!

One of the Greatest

@@thenativeson5071 ....just months before the....

I rate Edward Norton with James Stewart and he was one of the greats.

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.

The Painted Veil ........... fabulous. My favorite Norton.

Chilling portrayal

Ditto!

I thought so too.

We 👍🏟️❤🏟️🏟️ minion milk

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

Fight club was amazing. Loved it!

I know right

Exactly what I was thinking. Casey Affleck has this charisma,also.

Both he and Gary^

Sorry, Norton isn't even in the same class with Oldman.

Agreed

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

Thanks.

Wish I'd read this and cut to the bits--could have skipped all the uhs and y'knows, and repetitions, y'know, repetitions.

I was looking for this :D Thank you!

14 minutes saved. Tyvm.

wish this were pinned

If his character killed a rabbi in primal fear, Norton probably wouldn't have worked much at all after.

Don't know why I started thinking he wasn't a great guest because this reminded me that i loved him even on Fallon

I agree

He Surely handled being a "Punk' Well....!!!

🎉😢

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.

​@@emilejanse2672 Agree, never have been able to stand Letterman. Only watching this for Ed Norton even though it's from July 2001.

They literally said he was Oscar nominated in his first film Primal Fear. I don't know how that's underrated.

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.

Every time I read something like this I think 🙄

@@jonasandezekiel1109 think bro

@@akhrormuminov7180 all the time.

Have you seen his adult film horse's in the wild or something like that...I heard he played his role giving an takin it like a champ.....

Sam Rockwell too!

Great actor, very sad no one would work with him… or was there another reason he stopped doing movies?

When he was roasting Bruce Willis, all he did was talk about himself, he seemed self-centered.

Was this comment actually 10 months ago? Edward is 54 years old, lol. This interview has to be 20 years old.

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 !!!

Just finished watching Red Dragon and you are correct he's brilliant in it .

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

After visiting those apartments.

A brilliant and underrated film that was extremely touching and smart. Stunning cinematography and some great twists too. One of the all time GREATEST ROMANTIC storylines!

@@earthangel8730 you know you have summed the film up beautifully, my dad brought it for my birthday year ago,yes you are right it is under estimated, but you know I think people like you and I and others know the quality of the film and for me it's one of my treasured dvds !!!!!!😁🇬🇧

I liked it too. But I I thought Malkovich was trying too hard to be Russian. Would have been cool to have a real Russian in the role.

100 per cent I think he was maybe 27 .The role and it was a great role he played along side Richard Gere.

Loved him in the Hulk. So sad they didn't do the next one ...

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?
