ECOLOGICAL LESSONS There comes a point in most actors’ lives when the journey, the profession, the lifestyle that has served them so well, and for so long, ultimately becomes less interesting. The catalyst for this could be one of many things – age, family, burnout, perhaps even a shift to another part of an industry that is perennially asking more and more of its leading lights. Why actor Edward Norton’s shift toward a vision for our planet has been a career in the making. By James Evans For Edward Norton, the stimuli responsible for making a change were beginning to stack up after a particularly fervent period of moviemaking in the first decade of the new millennium. Through Red Dragon, Kingdom of Heaven, The Illusionist, and The Painted Veil, the Boston-born actor’s output was unsustainably high, and notwithstanding perhaps one or two film projects that did not hit the mark, the deep-thinking Yale graduate always seemed to engage and enchant cinemagoers with informed, intelligent drama. And yet, as a passionate, driven, dynamic, and respected environmentalist, activist, social entrepreneur, and orator of positive global initiatives, Norton, justifiably, began to see the value in cinema diminish. “When you have a perspective that runs across two very polarized parts of culture, they will only, over time, become more separated,” he begins. “Trying to justify, validify the importance of a fight scene in a movie junket at a posh LA hotel, when on the next page of your diary you have an environmental project that will preserve, change, and perhaps even save lives … that becomes a very different thing to try to balance up. “The reality, of course, is you don’t attempt to balance it up. The reality is you accept one is more important than the other, and you let that guide you.” Norton’s investment in social and ecological change is not a charitable signup, nor a PR stunt; nor is it provoked by guilt stemming from years of living the high life. The reality is that the trappings of wealth and the adulation of fame have never been of particular interest to Norton, whose yearning for privacy goes far beyond that of most other actors in the profession. >> Global Goals Yearbook 2020 67
