Making stories together

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an American actor and filmmaker born in Los Angeles on 17 February 1981. He began working as a child actor and later expanded into writing, directing and collaborative media.

Television audiences came to know him as Tommy Solomon in the sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun. After time away from acting to attend college, he returned with film roles including Mysterious Skin and The Lookout.

In (500) Days of Summer (2009), he played Tom in a story that revisits a relationship out of chronological order. The following year, Inception cast him as Arthur, a member of Cobb’s team planning an operation inside dreams.

His work also includes Looper and the 2013 film Don Jon, which he wrote, directed and starred in. These projects show his interests on both sides of the camera.

Beyond film, Gordon-Levitt co-founded HITRECORD, an online community for creative collaboration whose projects have won Emmy recognition. The credits linked on FLM.RED come from the site’s catalogue and are not his complete filmography.
