Joseph Gordon-Levitt (sometimes abbreviated to JGL), born February 17, 1981, started his acting career in commercials as a child, before starring in the show 3rd Rock from the Sun. Since then, he has broken out of the role that 3rd Rock put him in, starring in a string of indie films and most recently Christopher Nolan's Inception.
He prefers to be called Joe.
He also runs a Web site called hitRECord.org, where collaborators from around the world work on various projects. Once a month, Joe will select one "record" to publish and split the money between all the contributors. You can find his tumblr here.
