Love the director's cut of this movie.

Norton killed it in this.

I didn't know it was Ed Norton until now 😅

[quetzcoatl]

In all honesty, his character is what I remember the most from that film. He did an amazing performance for such a small part.

Read this history record:

1. The Chronicle of William of Tyre mentions that Saladin was "greatly affected" by Baldwin's death in 1185, and that he "ordered that his funeral should be celebrated with great honor."

2.The History of the Crusades by Steven Runciman states that "Saladin had a great respect for Baldwin, and the two men had exchanged gifts and messages on several occasions."

3. The Crusades: The Authoritative History of the War for the Holy Land by Thomas Asbridge discusses this in Chapter 12, stating:
"Saladin, who had a deep respect for Baldwin, even sent him his own physicians to try to cure his leprosy, but their efforts were in vain."

"When I was sixteen, I won a great victory. I felt in that moment I would live to be a hundred. Now I know I shall not see thirty. None of us know our end, really, or what hand will guide us there." - King Baldwin IV Of Jerusalem.

Norton play this role so good when we really thought the man behind the mask is the real king baldwin

[zachnelson]

his short scene on the battlefield alone displayed his acting prowess...

[johnlloyddy]

Only two actors have impressed me with their ability for showing a host of emotions behind a mask. Ed Norton for this movie and Hugo Weaving in "V for Vendetta".

Edward Norton is won of the greatest actors of all time but rarely gets the recognition that he deserves.

The Kingdom of Heaven is one of the best movies out there. I encourage you to watch the extended director's cut so you aren't left scratching your head.

[anthonytt]

King Baldwin was such a tragic and brilliant character. So humble and graceful to the end.

[constantreader]

Whether historically accurate or not, this is a very well-made film. One of my favorite historical films.

[ivanag]

Norton was phenomenol in the role of King Baldwin. He was born to play that role.

[crusier]

I never knew he wanted to leave his name out of the credits.

[adel.benyahia]

Edward Norton and Ghassan Massoud were amazing in this movie

[brandonbentley]

Can not beat method actors guys...they systematically become the role while sheddng their own charector.

KoH is one of my favorite movies and I didn’t know it was Norton as Baldwin until i bought the film on blueray years ago and his name was in the credits. I didn’t know until now that he actually requested he not be given credit for the role as he did an amazing job. I knew the voice sounded familiar when I first watched it in theaters but I couldn’t quite put the voice to an actor; I just knew whomever portrayed Baldwin was exceedingly talented to never show their face and yet convey so much emotion.

Man, that's a real actor. Even behind a mask, you're remembered.
