Edward Norton is an actor that burst on the scene in 1996 with his Oscar nominated performance in Primal Fear, he has gone on to be very selective with his choice but has picked some of the most interesting and intense roles. today I will be picking my favorite roles of his career. I will be starting by saying I loved the performance as Scout Master in Moonrise Kingdom.
5. Eisenheim – The Illusionist (2006)
When we had two heavyweight magic based films we do get an easier but more fairy tale style film in this where he plans his own revenge on the Prince.

Worm gets our hero into trouble with how he gets too involved underground poker world.
3. Monty Brogan – 25th Hour (2002)
Monty spends him last day sorting out his affairs before having to serve his prison sentence. I do love the scene where he goes through the different people of New York city.
