(The comparison between Norton & Lucas is only about playing a Southener).
I consider Ed Norton to be one of the greatest actors of our time though he mostly appears in vapid movies and roles which do him very little justice.
I agree. And I think the gist of the objections to his accent in LoG isn't that it wasn't a good southern accent, but that it wasn't a good Oklahoma southern accent. Even if it wasn't, I mean, get another life and pick your nits there.
