Edward Norton is known for many roles, but some believe he's yet to top his breakthrough role in Primal Fear. Norton played Aaron, an altar boy accused of brutally murdering a priest who turns to Richard Gere to clear his name. Yet as it turns out, Aaron is really playing a masterful mind game, as audiences are eventually clued in that the "good ol' country boy falsely accused" bit is all an act and Gere's egotistical lawyer actually unwittingly gets a killer off the hook.
Even more fascinating are the nuances Norton himself brought to the role. Unlike the character in the book on which the film is based, Norton gives his character a stutter while playing the innocent victim role and then drops it when he mocks Gere with the truth.
The role landed Norton a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination.
