comments
one of my favourite actors since I'd seen him in 'Primal Fear' (1996)...apart from that one I like him most in 'Fight Club' (1999) and 'Motherless Brooklyn' (2019)
he's married to Shauna Robertson since 2012
Edward turned down the role of James Ryan in 'Saving Private Ryan' (1998)
he was considered for the role of Andy Kaufmann in 'Man on the Moon' (1999)
has two younger siblings: James and Molly (she was his company at the Academy Awards in 1997)
he received history degree from Yale in 1991
his father, Edward Norton, Sr. is a lawyer (once worked for Ex-President Jimmy Carter), his mother, Robin, (died of brain cancer on 06. March 1997) was a foundation executive of the Enterprise foundation, founded by her parents, Patricia and James Rouse (* 1914 † 1996)
his mother also was a teacher at the Centennial High School in Columbia (a former pupil of her - thanks Cathy - , wrote me, that she would rather have been remembered for that, than being part of her dad's company)
