The all-time actor Edward Harrison Norton is an American actor and filmmaker. He has received numerous awards and nominations, including a Golden Globe Award and three Academy Award nominations. Born in Boston and raised in Columbia, Maryland, Norton was drawn to theatrical productions at local venues as a child.
After five months in Japan, Norton moved to New York City, where he supported himself by working odd jobs. He took six months to research different acting techniques, focusing on method acting. He later took lessons from acting coach Terry Schreiber after discovering he was looking for a Japanese translator to help direct a play in Tokyo.
Norton described him as a great teacher who encouraged students to become “multilingual actors” with different techniques for versatile roles.
