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.
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
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.
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.
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.
he should have been awarded an Oscar for American History X, another one for Fight Club and one for Red Dragon
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 KZhead 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
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???
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!
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
For a moment he actually transformed into Robert DeNiro. His facial expressions were spot on.
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 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
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.
Since Primal Fear, American History X, etc, I watch every Ed Norton film. He is outstanding.
I am Jack's total agreement.
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.
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 is such an amazing actor! He made me laugh uncontrollably with his guest appearance at Modern Family, and he made me cry several times.
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....!!!
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

11:00; 11:31; 11:47 Brando impersonation 14:12; 14:31 De Niro impersonation BONUS 8:43 Woody Allen 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
He speaks in such a soft, gentle, relaxed, and yet masculine manner. Soo engaging and endearing.
He absolutely reeks of intelligence and awareness… One an incredibly gifted and switched on individual🙏
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.
Ed Norton is my favorite actor. I love his voice. Very gifted man.
Edward Norton is such an excellent actor!!!
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.
9:17 is when The Score with Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando is brought up
It's actually a great movie . It's on free movie sites all the time .
You're the hero we don't deserve.
Thank you soooo much !
@savannah :] you’re the real MVP👊🏾
thank you!
I have admired him for his talent in every movie he has been in. A great actor.
🎉😢
His mimicking of De Niro is just unbelievable. What a legend.
Hollywood needs to remember what a real actor is like him. Skilllz
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.
Edward Norton is great. He should be in more movies.
Mr. Norton gives fantastic interviews. Really good story teller with some impersonations mixed in for some extra zest.
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.
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!
One of the most brilliant actors ever.
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.
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.🙄😑
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 .
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’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.
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
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!🙏💜✌️
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 ...
He is one fantastic actor. Cute & funny too.
The Painted Veil was a wonderful movie with a great cast, but Ed Norton made you feel everything.
He is the onley actor who comes to talkshows with a natural state of mind .
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.
Great interview. Notice how Dave allowed Edward to share his stories...without interruption?
Ahem Howard Stern
Ahem Jimmy Fallon
The Score is one of my favorite movies of all times! Norton is brilliant is it 👏 Absolutely
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.
Easily one of the best actors out there,terrific personality as well
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.
I was always amazed at how jacked he got for american history x. by far his best role.
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 !!!
One of the top 5 actors in Hollywood Ed Norton
He’s such an intense and moody actor, but he couldn’t be more down to earth and charming in real life, if he tried! ❤️
Obviously Primal Fear and American History X, but Fight Club and Rounders were incredible as well. Hulk was a great portrayal as well.
@@kevinbaroco fight club will always be my favourite, I would never have called that twist back then, it was so revolutionary at the time!!👌
The sidewalk scene with the teeth in American History X is still one of the most gut wrenching moments in cinema history.😦😦😧😧
I still have PTSD about that
Me too. I could never watch it again
That was terrific. I know he has a reputation for being difficult, but he is very entertaining and interesting.
A great actor deserves more awards .
I just can't get enough of Ed Norton.
He was very very convincing in that film with Richard Gere...OMG still gives me shivers!!! Scary!! Didn't know it was his first...
Given what a genuinely nice guy he seems to be, it's amazing how good he is at playing jerks!
Based on this interview, I would love to have every dinner conversation include Edward Norton.
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. ♥️
Ed Norton is amazing in Primal Fear, with Richard Gere as his defense attorney. 🖖👽🤖😎🤓🧐
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 .
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

Superb talent, Ed Norton always brings it.
Ed Norton in Primal Fear was mind blowing!!! Deserves the academy award for sure!
Classy guy! What a talent. Such quiet elegance! So happy to see him again on Glass Onion.
Is he married?
If Norton is in it , watch it. He is a fine actor.
Probably the greatest actor of all time

Edward Norton is fantastic in everything he does. David Letterman is so unbelievable at keeping itvall hilarious. GOAT of late night!
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!! ;)
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.
I loved him in The painted veil ,the music the location ,the way it was shot was wonderful !!!!!😁🇬🇧
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 !!!!!!😁🇬🇧
What a nice guy, and a great actor. Continued good luck to him. He deserves it.
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
Every time I see a movie featuring Ed Norton I watch it; he always makes his characters believable.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
And interesting.
What a super guy, I wish this clip was an hour long. Top shelf in my book.
speaking of "the hype is totally earned", ed is such an amazing actor
The man pulled a George Gobel quote... What the hell... That is AWESOME
He's one of the best his performance in Primal Fear is iconic 👏
100 per cent I think he was maybe 27 .The role and it was a great role he played along side Richard Gere.
His performance in "Motherless Brooklyn" with Baldwin was just fabulous. He takes a formulaic piece and makes a possible cult film. I Highly Recommend it. Not unlike his early work with Richard Gere. His character was in jail arrested. Forget the title. Really a gem.
Ive seen it an enjoyed it very much.
I have to give an amen to the ed Norton performance in motherless Brooklyn
Primal Fear is the Richard Gere film. And you guys keep saying "his performance" in Motherless Brooklyn, so if you're not aware, he also wrote AND directed that movie. Very very impressive, he's a very talented film maker and actor.
@@DetectiveTrupo203 Knew that also. Pile on the Accolades !
