I've been listening to a bunch of Norton's appearances on podcasts over the week, and it's been entertaining. He's clearly very intelligent and perceptive on a number of matters. It actually upset me that he's not more ambitious about carving out his path as an actor, as while I admire his work in stuff like Stone, Leaves of Grass, etc., they're just not movies worthy of him. He had one bit in his interview with Sam Fragoso where he was correcting misconceptions about intuitive acting vs. an intellectualized approach and certain actors frequently name-checked by budding actors for their "method" intensity/feralness/etc. (DDL, De Niro, Joaquin), but claimed it was hogwash and that these actors put as much work in cerebrally breaking down the drama on the page and building up the characters.

His Golden Globe/HFPA podcast interview was really great and he brought up a lot of interesting stuff on his cast (Dafoe, Baldwin, Cannavale) and the movie industry in general......some surprising POV from him too. You can tell he''s thought (and re-thought) a lot of things......

You should listen/read interviews Ethan Hawke gives regarding acting. Don't agree with everything he says, but he has a similar cerebral/analytical approach to discussing the craft as Norton.

I am a huge Norton fan and think he is the most talented actor of his generation, and even when you look at the work I don't think any of his contemporaries have a run as good as him from 96-02 with his performances in Primal Fear, AHX, Fight Club, and 25th Hour. I think he's great in stuff later in the decade too like Painted Veil and The Illusionist. But over the pat 10 years he's been relegated to indies and sub-par Hollywood genre movie outside Birdman and his Wes Anderson movies. I think he's just too difficult and too much of a dick on set for his own good, and he isn't a star who brings in audiences so he can't get away with it. Really hoping Motherless Brooklyn is good, despite the mixed reviews I still think it sounds good and like my kind of thing.

...and water is wet.
Ed Norton is himself exceptionally talented and I think he has what it need to be a great Fool to Denzel's King Lear in a future (big) screen adaptation. Stage is something else, especially when you haven't practiced in a very very long time.
