10 Actors Who Did Not Take Credit For Big Movie Roles

6. Edward Norton - Kingdom Of Heaven

Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven is known for having one of the most significant director's cuts ever released. The theatrical cut of the film was reviled by critics and audiences alike but the director's cut gained street cred on many a repeat viewing. It also gave more screen time to its very large cast.

Disregard Orlando Bloom (like we all do ow anyway) and any major or well-known UK actor shows up somewhere in the film's three-hour run time. They're fairly interchangeable.

One notable exception is Edward Norton. His role of the leper King Baldwin IV is entirely obscured by a mask, thus his performance is given exclusively through emotive, soulful eyes. As such, the actor refused credit on the initial theatrical run and most watched it probably not realising it was the Fight Club actor.
