Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an American actor, director, screenwriter, producer, and editor who got his start as a child star in the early '90s. He appeared in A River Runs Through It, Angels in the Outfield, Beethoven, and 10 Things I Hate About You before landing his breakthrough role as Tommy Solomon on the cult TV series 3rd Rock from the Sun.
As an adult, Gordon-Levitt has shown real range. He's best known for indie darlings like Brick and (500) Days of Summer, but he's equally comfortable in blockbusters—Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, and Looper showcase his ability to carry everything from intimate character studies to high-concept thrillers. His other notable roles include 50/50, Premium Rush, The Lookout, and appearances in films like Manic, Lincoln, Mysterious Skin, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. He also signed on to play Johnny in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
Beyond acting, Gordon-Levitt founded hitRECord, an online production company, back in 2004. The platform reflects his collaborative creative philosophy. In 2013, he made his feature directorial and screenwriting debut with Don Jon, a comedy where he also stars—a project that demonstrated his ambitions behind the camera.
