Edward Norton: 'Primal Fear' (1996)
Edward Norton started his film career with a bang, playing Aaron Stampler, a stuttering altar boy accused of murdering a beloved archbishop — though Stampler might not be as innocent as he seems.
It was Norton's first role, though he clearly steals the film from Richard Gere and Laura Linney. Norton even earned an Oscar nomination, and he hasn't stopped giving incredibly intense performances since.
