I honestly think Edward Norton is the best actor out there. Talk about someone who has played every roll possible.

I like him a lot, but I think he gets a bit too much credit - he's been a bunch of junk, and no one calls him on it. I think he's amazing in Primal Fear, 25th Hour, and Fight Club... but I can't forget junk like Keeping the Faith and The Score.

You forget his performance in American History X

ooh yea - another great one.

I mean, he's a really really good actor - I just don't see him as under-appreciated or under-rated. You ask people about their 5 favorite actors and, especially if they're under the age of 45 or so, you'll get Ed Norton in there.

If you like him, and haven't seen "the 25th hour" you really must.

I don't know why but I've noticed this younger guy who plays in all of those Apple Mac computers seems like a good actor who is a little underrated.

Played in Live Free Or Die Hard, Drag Me To Hell, Funny People, Many others.....

morgan freeman. it just seems like he never appears to be acting and the words come out of his mouth so naturally.

Liev Schreiber. The best voice over artist in the business. Countless HBO sports documentaries. When you watch the documentary his voice gives the work a level of importance.

Edward Norton - totally agree with you guys. There is just something so easy to like watching him in movies. I don't know what it is. Heard he is a dick to work worth a few years ago, which made me think a little less of him. But even after that whenever he is in a movie, it's just easy to like . Motherless Brooklyn is a newer one he is in, overall just a so -so movie, but Norton was the main character and was great.

William H Macy - agree with him as well. Not a leading guy normally but is consistantly damn good.
