A chameleonic actor who has demonstrated exemplary range in narratives across the emotional spectrum, Edward Norton is one of the most fearless, uninhibited actors alive. A list of his 5 best roles:
A blazing character drama that's at once transformative and uncomfortable, the film, split into monochrome and colour halves by director Tony Kaye, boasts Edward Norton's greatest, most complex performance.
Spike Lee extracted some strong emotions out of the powerfully moving script by David Benioff ('Game of Thrones') which showcased another side of Norton we never saw before.
Those who have read William Diehl's psychological thriller novel of the same name upon which the film is based will most likely agree that Norton did justice to his character in the book.
David Fincher's inventive and darkly satirical cult film may not be for everyone's tastes, but one thing is undeniable: Edward Norton's bravura performance as a man dealing with multiple psychological issues.
The fact that Norton doesn't show his face even once, in a significant supporting character, is part of the beauty of his performance in this stellar Ridley Scott epic.
