This might be the biggest mismatch of the first round. Edward Norton will need all the luck on the web to beat Jack Nicholson. Jack is a three time Academy award winner (nominated 12 times!!) with great range. However he is best known for playing very dark characters. He might go down as the best actor of his generation. Edward Norton is a great actor as well but he needs another…..20 years to catch up with someone like Jack Nicholson. Norton has been nominated for an Oscar twice, and he has not reached his full potential. So who is the better actor? To vote just leave a comment. Here are some of their best scenes. Feel free to vote for the other match ups as well.

Jack Nicholson

Edward Norton

    Nicholson, hands down. You’re right. Even though he always plays Jack Nicholson, he is still one of our greatest actors. His portrayal of the lunatic writer in the Shining was, perhaps, the premier acting job of the 20th century. Maybe only exceeded by Peter Ustinov’s rendition of a mad Nero, Emperor of Rome, in Quo Vadis.

    I’m sorry Ed, but Jack has it!
