Edward Norton plays the lead, but Edward’s Norton’s character goes unnamed throughout the entire film; being credited only as “The Narrator.” As the narrator and a main character, Norton’s character is aware that he is in the movie for the majority of the film, but also takes part in the overall storyline.
