Ed Norton is probably the most underappreciated underrated actors ever . He should have won numerous academy awards.
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.
Edward Nortons role in Primal Fear is one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. Truly underrated. He’s class.
Completely fooled me with the ending of that one. He was excellent.
I agree
Truly legendary.
Refreshing to listen to someone so articulate. He is simply on a different level intellectually than most other actors/celebrities.
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.

@@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.
Edward is the most underrated actor ever. He deserves so many more awards than he ever got.
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.
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.
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
One of the greatest performances of all time - Edward Norton in PRIMAL FEAR. Incredible.
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.
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
Not a single film with him disappointed, and that's a legacy! Brilliant guy, such a likeable personality.
What's farther? Chicago or by train???
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.
@@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 CZcams 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.
We need more films with Norton, great actor
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!!!
DeNiro impression was perfect
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.
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.
Really like Ed Norton, and would watch his movies many times. He is one of most talented and brilliant actors.
@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. :)
Edward Norton is one of top ten best actors in the world. Unbelievably talented.
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.
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!
For a moment he actually transformed into Robert DeNiro. His facial expressions were spot on.
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.
He absolutely reeks of intelligence and awareness… One an incredibly gifted and switched on individual🙏
he should have been awarded an Oscar for American History X, another one for Fight Club and one for Red Dragon
Let’s not get carried away- red dragon was not Oscar worthy in any way lol
Since Primal Fear, American History X, etc, I watch every Ed Norton film. He is outstanding.
I am Jack's total agreement.
American history x definitely should have landed him the Oscar.
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
He is such an amazing actor! He made me laugh uncontrollably with his guest appearance at Modern Family, and he made me cry several times.
Ed Norton just reeked of self confidence in that interview. Both him and Gary Oldman are two of the biggest underrated actors in Hollywood.
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
Just really intense and great actor, very conscience of his acting! he writes, directs, he's totally believable in every role, great! Ed Norton definitely up there with the best of them for sure! no bs!
With enough classes he might reach the knees of Hugh Laurie!
One of the Greatest
@@thenativeson5071 ....just months before the....
14:42 months 14:42 😮😅😅😅😅😮l
I rate Edward Norton with James Stewart and he was one of the greats.
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
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.
Edward Norton is one of my favourite actors of all times, he's so realistic in his acting roles and sympathic.
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.
Fight club was amazing. Loved it!
I love Ed Norton acts, just give him any role , he can do it amazingly.
I loved Edward Norton in The Painted Veil. A brilliant twisted love story. I instantly became a fan of his.
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.
He speaks in such a soft, gentle, relaxed, and yet masculine manner. Soo engaging and endearing.
He is one of the underrated actors of all time. Very talented!
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.
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.
He Surely handled being a "Punk' Well....!!!
I have admired him for his talent in every movie he has been in. A great actor.
🎉😢
Great interview. I did not realize Edward Norton was such a fantastic talk show guest. He brought his A game to Letterman.
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
Ed Norton is my favorite actor. I love his voice. Very gifted man.
His mimicking of De Niro is just unbelievable. What a legend.
Hollywood needs to remember what a real actor is like him. Skilllz
Mr. Norton gives fantastic interviews.
Really good story teller with some impersonations mixed in for some extra zest.
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.
@@emilejanse2672 Agree, never have been able to stand Letterman. Only watching this for Ed Norton even though it's from July 2001.
Easily one of the best actors out there,terrific personality as well
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.
If his character killed a rabbi in primal fear, Norton probably wouldn't have worked much at all after.
Edward Norton is great. He should be in more movies.
One of the most brilliant actors ever.
Along with a few other notable actors, when any movie comes out with this dude in it, it's a 'must see', regardless of what the movie is about.
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!
Loved Edward Nortons work, he is a really good actor. I wish him continued luck in the future.
Well he just starred in Glass Onion. Sequel to Knives Out. He did an amazing job.
How such a great actor like Ed Norton can be underappreciated ? Any movie with him is great and he 's also , One of best in my opinion .
Edward Norton is such an excellent actor!!!
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.
Love Edward Norton, think he's a very talented actor who deserves more credit.
He is the onley actor who comes to talkshows with a natural state of mind .
From the first time I saw Ed Norton in a movie, a long time ago, I have been in awe of his talent
Edward is such a nice, kind and intelligent guy and one of the best actors ever!
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.
An extraordinary talent on top of being a intelligent, funny and authentic down to earth human being. Something you don’t see much with actors.
He’s a rare gem.
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.
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 !!!
Given what a genuinely nice guy he seems to be, it's amazing how good he is at playing jerks!
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
11:00; 11:31; 11:47 Brando impersonation

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
Ed quite clear to me, is a genuinely nice man.
Norton is not known for being a nice guy. Anything but.
@@timthompson8297 I’ve heard that, though it’s not in evidence here.
@@timthompson8297 and we must believe everything we hear/read, and continue to spread these undeniable truths far and wide.🙄😑
This interview is so flawless. How many applause breaks were there. Great one.
Great interview. Notice how Dave allowed Edward to share his stories...without interruption?
Ahem Howard Stern
Ahem Jimmy Fallon
That was terrific. I know he has a reputation for being difficult, but he is very entertaining and interesting.
Ed Norton is a brilliant actor. I love watching his films. His performances are the best ever. He is in a class of his own. ♥️
I absolutely LOVE Edward Norton!!!! He is my all-time favorite actor ever since Primal Fear. ❤️❤️❤️
He is one fantastic actor. Cute & funny too.
A great actor deserves more awards .
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.
One of the best actors in the world right there, he never misses.
The Painted Veil was a wonderful movie with a great cast, but Ed Norton made you feel everything.
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.
He's a brilliant actor. One of my favorites. Great imitations.
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 ...
Based on this interview, I would love to have every dinner conversation include Edward Norton.
Superb talent, Ed Norton always brings it.
Been my favorite from the first time I saw him act. I couldn’t pick a favorite performance because each was brilliant. Love Ed
He is a force of nature ! SO talented
Ed Norton is amazing and totally not given enough attention in this business he is incredible
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.

@@LasDellas Congratulations on all of your successes!🙏💜✌️
What a nice guy, and a great actor. Continued good luck to him. He deserves it.
speaking of "the hype is totally earned", ed is such an amazing actor
One of the top 5 actors in Hollywood Ed Norton
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

I love Edward Norton he is a Great Actor! Love his choice of movies he really gives his all.

This was so great. He's so entertaining, and funny. Loved this.
Absolutely love me some Edward Norton😍🥰❤️ Loved his story about working with Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro-absolutely priceless.❤️❤️❤️
What a super guy, I wish this clip was an hour long. Top shelf in my book.
Really a great actor. His role and acting in the red dragon was amazing 👍
Just finished watching Red Dragon and you are correct he's brilliant in it .
I just can't get enough of Ed Norton.
Ed Norton in Primal Fear was mind blowing!!! Deserves the academy award for sure!
This is the most interesting conversation, smart and funny! Truly entertaining!
Ed Norton is a great guy then and even better guy now ❤️ what a great actor
I miss you, David. Thanks for these fabulous memories.
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!! ;)
I was always amazed at how jacked he got for american history x. by far his best role.
Every time I see a movie featuring Ed Norton I watch it; he always makes his characters believable.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
And interesting.
Rounders. Such a phenomenal movie and all of the cast was incredible.
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.
