Joseph Gordon-Levitt
3rd Rock from the Sun


(Tommy Solomon)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt was six years old and singing in a children's choir when a manager asked to represent him. His parents conveyed that request to Joey, who agreed enthusiastically, and he had his first agent and his first acting job (a regional peanut butter commercial) before he was six and a half. One week later, Joey made his TV film debut playing Tommy Lee Jones' son in "Stranger on My Land."

A native of Southern California, 14-year-old Joey has amassed TV credits that include guest-starring roles on "Family Ties," "thirtysomething," "Murder, She Wrote," "China Beach," "Quantum Leap" and the TV films "The Great Elephant Escape" and "Gregory K." On an episode of "L.A. Law," he played an autistic child with cerebral palsy whose mother wanted to enroll him in a special school for challenged children. He has also had a recurring role on "Roseanne" as D.J.'s boring friend, George.

Joey has been a regular on two NBC series: he was David Collins on the revival of "Dark Shadows" and the son of a congressman (played by David Hyde Pierce of NBC's "Frasier") in Norman Lear's "The Powers That Be."

He made his feature-film debut in "A River Runs Through It," playing the young Norman. Joey has since starred in "Roadkillers," "Holy Matrimony," "The Juror" and "Angels in the Outfield," for which he received the Hollywood Reporter's YoungStar Award as best actor in a feature film.

Away from the set and school, Joey enjoys such activities as gymnastics, flag football and rollerblading. His other interests include playing guitar, Dungeons & Dragons, reading sci-fi fantasy books and spending time with his dogs at home in Southern California. His birthday is February 17.
