In the same year, he starred in two other films, The People vs. Larry Flynt and Everyone Says I Love You . In 1998, Norton featured in American History X , in which he played a neo-Nazi who served three years in prison and ultimately revamped his ideology. [1] His performance was critically lauded and earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. [2] For the David Fincher-directed film Fight Club (1999), Norton starred in a role that required him learning boxing, taekwondo and grappling.

Norton had his directorial debut with the romantic comedy Keeping the Faith (2000), in which he also starred as a main role. He later played Will Graham, an FBI agent in the film Red Dragon (2002), which received mixed critical reviews but was commercially successful. [5] Controversies surrounded Norton's role and participation in the superhero film The Incredible Hulk (2008), for which he rewrote the script every day but without credit. [6] The film was a critical success compared to its 2003 predecessor, [7] but Norton refused to reprise his role for the film The Avengers (2012) and all following Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects, allegedly due to conflicts between him and other producers. [8] Norton also handled production for several films, including the documentary By the People: The Election of Barack Obama (2010) and romantic comedy Thanks for Sharing (2012). In 2014, he starred in two Academy Award-nominated films, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Birdman . For the latter role, he earned his second Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and his third nomination overall. [9]
