Actor: Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Joseph Gordon-Levitt was a child actor on Third Rock from the Sun and stepped away to study at Columbia before rebuilding a film career from small independent work.
Brick, Mysterious Skin and 500 Days of Summer established him, and Looper required him to wear prosthetics to resemble Bruce Willis as a younger version of the same character.
He founded HitRecord, a collaborative production platform that pays contributors, which won an Emmy. Inception and The Dark Knight Rises gave him the commercial run.
