"Usually dubbed as the best actor of his generation, Norton pretty much owned the last half of the '90s. Baby-faced with a crooked boyish smile, and a voice that is so soft and kind, he looked like he couldn't do anything wrong, but in some of the greatest movies ever made, he just did that, and maybe this contrast was responsible for some of his enormous successes along with his enormous acting talent.
At some point in his life, consciously or not, he made the audience miss him; he just couldn't find the roles for the main characters that suited him. He almost became a character actor in the last few years, but of course, that didn't bother his fans at all: as long as he acts, the audience knows they are in for a treat."
