The Strange Career Of Ed Norton
Edward Norton is a good actor and a busy man — a citizen who concerns himself with solar energy, affordable housing, the Maasai wilderness, peace in the Middle East, the High Line, the fate of the Mets’ outfield, and heaven knows what else,” he writes. “But he’s not quite a movie star, or the actor he could be.” That’s David Denby, writing in The New Yorker. Denby continues: “[Norton] needs to find writers who will create roles for him as intelligent, troubled men, as [George] Clooney has.” Only one problem: Norton doesn’t have Clooney’s movie-star looks.”
