yes or no?

Daniel Day-Lewis is like a Hall of Fame-caliber baseball player, whereas Ed Norton is playing Little League.

 

[BioDefenseGrad]

No, not even close. Edward Norton does not have the same range and isn't very charismatic.

DDL>>>EN

Don't get me wrong, I like Ed Norton and he's been in some good movies but this isn't close.

 

[Smallville22]

No.

 

[DR. B]

Well, since Mr. Lewis hasn't played a superhero and Mr. Norton hasn't played a disabled man, I'll get back to you.

This is not well thought out. Maybe if you put Christan Bale or Johnny Depp or even Robert Downey Jr.? But not that guy.

Turns out I've never seen a DDL movie. The guy sounds like a boss.

On Gangs of New York

He began his lengthy, self-disciplined process by taking lessons as an apprentice butcher, and while filming, he was never out of character between takes (including keeping his character's New York accent).[10] At one point during filming, having been diagnosed with pneumonia, he refused to wear a warmer coat or to take treatment because it was not in keeping with the period; however, he was eventually persuaded to seek medical treatment.

You've never seen Gangs Of New York?.... Watch it, it's amazing.

They're both great actors, but I like Ed Norton better.

DDL as Daniel Plainview in There Shall be Blood was one of the best character portrayals I've ever seen in a film! Such deep intrenched acting requires great skill and DDL is one of the view actors around that can this perfectly!

I like Ed Norton, but I'm sorry there is mile of difference between them!

I've seen that before. I got the impression it's more because he's a bit of a nutter, not because he's a total douche bag or anything
