Norton the worst actor, Harlan the dumbest role of all time

It is impossible for your cat to do Harlan's role.

1.) The cat cannot talk therefore ya got a mute Harlan.
2.) Cats do not have sex with 17-year-old girls nor any other human.
3.) Cats cannot shoot guns.
4.) Cats are hairy all around and it would have cost extra to bathe him after every scene.
5.) Cats would easily get distracted while trying to film. If they see something move they will try to attack it or simply stare it down.

Oh and another thing. Cats cannot ride horses. It just looks silly anyway.

lol scrawny...somebody forgot to watch American History X

"If your point is so weak then don't bother to make it at all."

"Norton has never been considered in the top of his acting class, let alone at the top of the acting ranks."

- Who are you kidding? He's the star of 2 of the top 50 movies of all time in American History X and Fight Club (top 40 on IMDB boards) Not to mention he portrays a variety of roles and plays them all convincingly. Agreed, there are a couple better ones out there, however not many and not by much.


" He's a scrawny, uninteresting actor who should do theater audiences a favor and retire."

- Scrawny? So hes not built like a brick *beep* though it makes it easier to relate to his character. Hes in good shape, but hes not over the top like too many people try to be nowadays.
And uninteresting? He must be doing something right to be a lead actor in movies such as the 2 aforementioned ones, Rounders, Primal Fear (great role as Aaron Stampler, few could have pulled it off as convincingly), The Illusionist, and The Score, to name a few.

"If Harlan would have been played by someone with any acting chops, he still would have been a dime a dozen compared to all of the other characters for whom he was patterned after."

- Like who? The Rock? He seems to be your dream guy for acting, hes not scrawny.

"To summarize, my cat could have portrayed Harlan better than Norton did, and my cat's a female and not a member of SAG! "

- Im not even gonna waste my time on this one.


"Is your point so weak that you must have the last word?"

Obviously you have lost many arguments, or you would have come up with a better sig. Reading your comments on this post shows that you say so much retarded stuff that people should be shaking their heads and walking away, however that would make you think you are right, when clearly that is not the case.

I feel sorry for this guy's cat.

Hey Mr. Wannabe,

I wholeheartedly support people being able to make their opinions known, even controversial ones, and as loudly as they want to express them, but attempting to pass off opinion as fact is a LIE!!! Don't let jealousy or envy get the best of your humanity.

If you don't like him, his work, or even his personality because of some encounter you had with him on the street, on a movie set, or in a restaurant, don't like him, but DON'T pretend to be passing universal judgement. Have the courage (and freedom) to speak for yourself. You certainly don't speak for me or for MANY others. Norton is a naturally gifted actor with tremendous range and an ability to play a very wide range of characters, often all at the same time!!

Acting is often misunderstood as being about pretending. Actually, it's far more about conveying truth. That's something you should work on, my friend. Then, I'll be far more interested in who and what you do or don't like....and WHY.

Take care.

I agree op.

Nothing against age gaps but i felt Norton wasn't good for this role. Everytime i saw Wood and Norton together i felt "this movie doesn't work". I really felt Wood couldn't fall in love with this person. Yeah, Norton looked quite old compared to Wood but it wasn't the biggest problem. The chemistry wasn't right. I think they could had chosen better the actor for Harlans role. A bit younger looking and somehow more alive, charismatic person. Norton acted sleepy and boring. He really should do some real westerns, i think he was quite good as a cowboy but this was wrong type of movie for him.

And yes, the character was too stupid and annoying at somepoint, especially at ending part.
