I remember when people used to always mention Edward Norton in these threads. What ever happened to that guy...
He can't escape the gravity of his own ego, and I say this as a huge Norton fan.

Yea, I'm not sure I'd agree with him being the 'greatest/best', but I wouldn't argue with somebody who thought he was as I do think he's pretty damn good.isn't this a measure of best agent, not best actor?
Ed Zwick is Bland
just fyi

his accents in blood diamond and aviator were really bad.
he's a good actor though i would never call him the greatest. I'd put an Actor like Emile Hirsch on a higher level just for his performance in Into The Wild.
Ed Norton is fucking awesome. 25th hour, american history x, fight club, his bit in kingdom of heaven, all class. but he's never worked with Nolan, so I wouldn't expect to see many mentions. He also hasn't been doing a whole lot after the Incredible Hulk... why he refused to take a pay cut for the avengers, I dunno. Seems like easy enough work for a reasonably massive paycheck.
also better actors IMO (sticking to hollywood stars) this generation (not sure where the limits are there), just to create discussion:
For very good reason. I suppose if you like overacting he's your man, and he's lucked out in getting some plum roles. Not who I want to watch.And yet he still doesn't have an Oscar.
Lol, really?! The guy who since Edward Scissorhands has basically played the same role in every movie. Look at me, I'm so eccentric! I admit, he brought something good to the table with Jack Sparrow in the first PotC but after that he's basically been playing the same role in every Tim Burton film he's in
1.maybe bad is the wrong word, maybe annoying?1. I'm the biggest detractor of Leo's accents ever. He is fine in The Aviator.
2. I am a huge Hirsch pimp, yet I wouldn't say he's topped DiCaprio in The Aviator. Hirsch is also brilliant in Milk.

In fact, I'm honestly surprised Guy Pearce hasn't been mentioned yet... though he and Nolan fell out, so I guess he must not be very talented.

Dead Man, The Ninth Gate, that Schumacher movie with Christopher Walken as the bad guy, Ed Wood.
His career's gotten pretty damn boring lately but I think he was great fun in the 90s. Oh and Edward Scissorhands rocks.
Now Guy Pearce in Momento was so amazing. But other than that, the Count of Monte Cristo and the Time Travel movie, I honestly cant think of any other memorable role he has had.

2.idk, Leo's performances in the aviator duringwere really good but I on't think they top Hirch's performance in the later scenes of into the wild.the mental illness/stuttering/repeating words as well as the full on crazy howard hughes crazy naked scenes

By many accounts he's a complete asshole to work with. I think this is why he didn't come back for the Avengers moreso than a pay check.
Ed Norton is a bad ass. Usual Suspects and Fight Club were defining for him. It is weird to think that he just sorta vanished.

... what the fuck
dude's done more than just Burton joints, you know
Where is Plutoon?

totally disagree there. courtroom scenes didn't impress me.That isn't even the best scene in the movie. The courtroom scene is where Leo nails it.
Yeah sick of that angry shit face. He looks....good in Great Gatsby though. So different from what he's looked like for years.

lol No way, he plays himself all the time, just like Clooney.
Daniel Day Lewis, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bryan Cranston, those are real actors.

Just quietly - and I'm going to get a lot of flack for this, Philip Seymour Hoffman is mightily overrated. He has exactly two good roles in his career. The first being in Boogie Nights and the second being Talented Mr. Ripley. Outside of those roles he is as repetitive in his roles as the equally overrated Paul Giamatti.

Agreed. Johnny Depp is a phony.
they've finally figured out a way to shrink his head, woah.Looks freaking beautiful.
In what way is he repetitive, mind you?
He can't pull off intense emotional scenes.
Examples:
Shutter Island:Inception:when he finds his kids dead. Totally unbelievablewhen his wife goes off the ledge. Again, unbelievable
