Eric Bana's Hulk was basically retconned into Norton's, but there was a dispute between Norton and Marvel allegedly resulting in not offering him the role again. That's not necessarily a bad thing - I like Norton as an actor, but he doesn't have the same on screen charisma as Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth or Downey Jr all three of whom are very likeable good guys. The jury's still out on whether or not Mark Ruffalo can cut it.

He's done lots of stuff, but he's not typically a leading man, he tends not to carry a film on his own. You'd probably know his face, if not put a name to it.
Just a few off the top of my head - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Zodiac, Shutter Island, Windtalkers, Collateral.

He was amazing in The Kids Are All Right. I think he'll be a great Bruce Banner.

Norton didn't bring anything to the role that another actor couldn't. He was the least memorable lead of the pre-Avengers films.

Norton basically can only play one role a guy who's calm and nervous he then loses it because he's mentally unstable. Its the stupidest typecasting for an actor i've ever seen. It seemed to make sense for him to be the hulk but personally out of the three actors who have been cast as hulk he'd have been my last pick. Bana and Ruffalo i could see myself sympathising with whereas Norton comes across as a dick. Although i would say some iterations of banner that was what i thought of him so thats debatedly accurate.
