The Advice That Made Edward Norton Do American History X | Joe Rogan

the Joe Rogan experience yeah that's all so is it hard as an act or two if you get an iconic role and then you are sort of always remembered for being that guy in that thing like how much of a is is it a hard transition to go from an iconic role to going into your next role but people still want to talk about the the the big movie that you were in just a year or two ago mmm it's never that hasn't been a big thing for me I I think I take I tend to take a bit of time between things and also I don't know when I you don't like the first thing I did what kind of popped off pretty hot and then and then everyone's like sending me like this you know it's like it's psychotic right psychotic interesting characters I was like well I think I'll do a musical with Woody Allen you know what I mean and wear a plaid jacket and yeah do a dance number in his Winston's like which is uh yeah or and and then what's really weird is I did that first I did I played this lawyer I played the young lawyer in the Larry Flynt film right which and alpha that I got I get this distinct vibe of like hey the next John Grisham movie is kind of like the way you were talking in court in that movie you would kill and this John Grisham thing as the young lawyer or whatever and I'm and I remember I met Francis Coppola was gonna direct the Rainmaker this Grisham thing and I was up for it I didn't get it Matt Damon got it and I didn't do some ballsy thing and like say that's not for me I was like I was like Francis Coppola I was like I want this you know yeah I think but when I was talking to him about it and thinking to myself a little bit like this seems a little square but it's like Francis Coppola you know what I mean and it's like and and he when I was talking to him about it he was like well what you know what what are you in truth what do you working on what you interested in and I was telling him about my friend David who had written this Americans GX and that we were working on I was kind of telling him what we were trying to do with it and how he wanted to make it is this kind of like guerrilla you know saying and and he was like you should do that you should do that immediately and I was like well I wanted I I was like don't don't I was like don't cancel don't don't you know I still want to do this with you he's like no no I think you should do you like the way you're talking about that and he said if you do that now they'll never they'll never know what to do with you like they'll never they'll never be able to put you in a box kind of because that's just you know if you pull that off and and I kind of was like I you know it I did have an agent at the time it was really old school really funny and he was kind of like he didn't understand now he was like he was like fine something big let's find something big big director big film big franchise whatever and I I remember thinking like nah I think I'm going to do this and I'm and we knocked that off and the funny thing did you say well does that become a trap it that wasn't a trap that was like a liberation it's almost like doing that part it was like a permanent hand grenade on it was like net it was like well we never know what to expect now right so it becomes like liberation on us at a certain point cuz like I weigh 150 you know like I'm not big so like once you do something like that it's sort of like mmm where did this guy's this guy's this guy's kinky what the hell are we gonna do with him you know what I mean right and then it's just sort of like you get to decide for yourself in a way [Applause]
