Did you know this mind blowing fact about Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

Is this something that's a secret to other people?

I'm only just now finding out that his name isn't Joseph Lordon-Gevitt, and no, I'm not kidding.

lmgtfy

Also. Yes. Everyone knew.

I'm 31, so yes.

Also, I don't think he just "appeared." There were a few years in-between 3rd Rock and Brick, but he's been in movies regularly for 8-9 years now.

Since when did Buzzfeed starting making threads on Giantbomb?

I voted for all 3 just cause. And yes, I knew.

Uh... I thought everyone knew that. Did you also not know that Leonardo Dicaprio was on the TV show Growing Pains? Or that George Clooney once played Roseanne's boss on her TV show? Or that Tom Hanks was on the TV show Bosom Buddies? Or that Billy Crystal played one of the first openly gay characters on the TV show Soap?

I didn't know, because I have no idea what the fuck third rock from the sun is.

This is not news.

HOLY SHIT!!! Listen to this major conspiracy theory I just hatched: If Joseph Gordon-Levitt was the kid from 3rd Rock and the kid from 3rd rock was the kid from "10 Things I Hate About You", then it stands to reason that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was the kid from "10 Things I Hate About You"!!! Mind double blown!!!

10 Hot Excuses for Movie Watchers to Remain Surprised by JGL!

Go home Batman. You are drunk.

@max_cherry How old are you? Not asking in a snarky way, but I'm 29 and I have to say my mind was less than blown. I can understand that this would be weird for a younger person though.

Sort of like for me finding out all of the 80s shows that I'd seen George Clooney in without realizing it.

(also... Off-Topic. PLEASE!)

FOLLOW THE MONEY

This is a waste of Internet.

I remember him more as the kid with the ice skate embedded in his face in Halloween H20.

I have to agree with Lieutenant Smash here.

Angels in the Outfield sends a hearty 'Fuck You'.

Yeah I knew this. I recognized him right away, cause I loved 3rd Rock From The Sun when I was a kid. I would watch it every day after school.

This was pretty much the perfect reply to this thread.

OMG... Leo was in Growing Pains!

Also Robin Thicke's dad is Canadian superstar Alan Thicke. Mind blown again!

And his son is this douchebag.

Ashley Johnson who played the little girl there would go on to be Ellie in The Last of Us.

Oh man, that image reminded me of this.

Okay, this I did not know. This post should be the original topic.

This movie was the beginning of my crush on Winona Ryder when I was a kid.

French Stewart isn't actually French! Or named Stewart!

And while we're talking "This guy used to be that guy" facts, Marilyn Manson was NEVER on The Wonder Years, goddammit!

and Tony Danza is his new movie and they did the film Angels in the Outfield. A lot of child actors don't just fuck themselves over.

Also, the little girl is Ashley Johnson who voiced Elly in The Last of Us. I imagine most people here know that already given it's video game related, but I thought it was still worth mentioning.

But the difference is everyone knows Leonardo DiCaprio was in the later seasons of Growing Pains.

You know what he was in before Growing Pains?

Before Die Hard, Bruce Willis was on one of my favorite shows when I was a kid, Moonlighting.

I'm pretty sure Growing Pains predates Critter 3.

I like Moonlighting too.

I already knew that.

Had to go to IMDB and looks like you're right, but only by a few months. Most shocking is that apparently Leo only has 35 actor credits. That's way lower than I would have expected.

I love that franchise

Nah I knew.

But my brother's super into pop culture and stuff, so I get a lot of weird pop culture fun facts.

This, on all accounts, including the age.

Eerie.

I'm not 12, so yes, I was very aware that Jiggle was on Third Rock From the Sun.

Thanks for making me feel old.

Meh, I always thought he was one of the brothers in Tool Time too. Turns out that was Johnathan Taylor Thomas, another child actor three name Seventeen magazine heart throb. However did I confuse them?

I don't think it is possible to watch that movie and not develop a crush on Winona Ryder.

I learned something new today.

He was also the dude trying to bang Alex Mack while Heath Ledger was trying to pick up Julia Styles in 10 Things I Hate About You, just in case you needed more Nolan Batman connections.

And she was also on 3rd Rock.

That she was.

mind not blown

Okay, now that is an actual surprise. I am well-versed in Alan Thicke, but I did not make the connection to this Robin Thicke monstrosity.

How could that come from Jason Seaver. I just don't get it...
