ed norton fans?

great actor!

try fight club, american history x, rounders, and primal fear.

All his movies are great but those are a few I can think of right now.

... The Italian Job... The Score.. another couple of good ones. Plays a pretty good bad guy too. He is also starring in the upcoming Hulk movie. Hope this helps.

what was the one where he played the drug dealer who gets busted.... oh, it's called '25 hours' or something like that. it's pretty good, too.

he's the new hulk? i didn't know that. thanks. i used to love that show when i was a kid. i wonder if they are going to get a real big guy, like lou ferrigno to play the hulk part, or are they going to do it cg?

Didn't he have a TV show a while back that followed him and his wife as they tried to live "green."

i think that was Ed Begley Jr....?

My wife thinks The Illusionist is the best film she's ever seen.

I thought Ed was Ralph's buddy.

It's a really rough one to watch, but American History X is a brilliant film..

Excellent movie.

Oh, gawd! I LOVE Edward Norton!!!! He's such a snackey treat!

"Keeping the Faith" is an excellent comedy/love story with co-stars Ben Stiller and Jenna Elfman.

If you're into something deeper, with a more historical bent, try "The Painted Veil". I'll warn you, it's not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. It's about an English doctor who takes his wife (who's he's just discovered has been cheating on him) into a cholera outbreak in China. Truly superb acting out of Edward in this one. I fell in love with him in "Keeping the Faith" and this role only makes me "want" him more. You also get to see him nearly nekked too!

The role he plays in "The Italian Job" is also interesting. Ed plays Steve, a truly bad guy, but he pulls it off really well. So cold and heartless.

Personally, I like him MUCH better as a good guy! Can't wait to see him as the Hulk.

oh, i had seen something about 'the painted veil' but had forgotten about it. thanks, beemer, i'll try to get ahold of it.

i think ed was very involved with 'veil' (produced it?), as he was on 'keeping the faith'.

i love that kissing scene in 'the illusionist' when eisenheim and the dutchess are yelling at each other and then he lays one on her. that's one of my favorite movie kisses ever!

I haven't seen The Illusionist but it's now on my Netflix list for sure.

I've checked on imdb.com but don't see Ed's name associated with any directorial or production roles in The Painted Veil. The movie is based on the novel by Somerset Maugham. I will warn you to have a box of Kleenex handy for the last 30+ minutes of the film. I found myself sobbing almost uncontrollably at one point.

I absolutely agree and FX has been running it here lately on Comcast. It is hard to watch at times, but he does an exceptio\nal job in it.

He was also great in Kingdom of Heaven -- you'd never know it was him though...I liked the illusionist but it was a little slow for me at times...

I think I walked into the house one day and my 18 yr old was watching that movie, American History X. Didn't Ed play a skin head with lots of tatts? It was so harsh I couldn't watch. I got through one scene and had to go upstairs.

Yes, but he was a hottttt skinhead with tatts...it is well worth watching -- even ifyou shield your eyes at times. The TV version is not as verbally graphic as the original due to censors, but it is a great movie. I couldn't watch it straight through the first time either.

oh, you will love 'the illusionist'. he was great in that.

i just knew he was involved as more than an actor in 'the painted veil'. i was sure i saw one of those 'the making of...' shows, where all involved talk about the film. i thought i remembered him speaking about insisting that they really go to the orient to make it, etc. oh well, i may have imagined all that! i was probably just staring at him and not paying good attention. ha!

i'll have to catch the others ya'll have mentioned. i'm not sure i'll like seeing ed being a bad guy, though.
