	Actors - Norman Burton

Norman Burton (December 5, 1923 - November 29, 2003), occasionally credited as Normann Burton, was an American film and television actor.

Born in New York City, Burton was a student of The Actor's Studio. After early work on stage, he broke into films with a minor role in Fright (1956).

His career in film and television was long and relatively successful, but he never achieved major recognition. He is best-known for his unconventional (and frequently disparaged) performance as Felix Leiter in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever
(1971).

Throughout his life, Burton was a devotee of the method school of acting, and taught method acting in Lakeside, California. He died in 2003 in an car accident while returning to his home in Mexico.
