I am reading this article because I am so impressed with GLV’s acting. I saw him in Lookout and then in Killshot, and it’s really hard to believe it’s the same person. I was impressed with him in each movie on its own, but when I compared the two characters, that’s what impressed me even more. I think he has what it takes to become very big. If that’s what he wants.

He is an amazing actor. He was great in The Lookout and I am surprised he didn’t get more recognition for that role. Also Brick. He does remind me of Heath Ledger. Very good looking. Good enough for an Oscar nom. His time will come.

Ah, JGL is definitely one of my favorite. He’s quite the actor, very charming too so it’s impossible to hate. I saw 500 Days and since then I’ve been watching a few different things he’s done in the past; most notably Brick and Manic. Brick was good, albeit confusing, very witty and unique film though. Manic though, was amazing. If you guys really want to see something different and that he really proves himself in, that’s not one to miss.

@Sunny

It’s not just you. Just look at him in action in any of his movies post 3rd Rock (or just watch “Ten Things I Hate About You” and simply imagine one of the characters being an older version of the other).

Really (and I know most people hate this idea), but if they were to put the Joker into Batman 3, JGL would be a really good choice to play him, he even has the acting chops.

Is it me or is Joseph Gordon-Levitt strongly reminiscent(sp) of Heath Ledger.

I loved 500 Days. It’s adorable. The writing was fantastic and the cinematography and editing perfect. JGL was amazing in it and I am very much crushing on him. He’s very talented at conveying emotions through just a look or slight mannerism. I haven’t seen in him anything else so I don’t know if he was merely playing himself or the character but now am curious to see his other works.

I had to watch Brick two years ago for a college film class. I didn’t really expect anything special, but ended up really liking the film and him in it.
I got to volunteer at Sundance this year. I was disappointed because I missed all of the showings of (500) Days of Summer because they were all before I got there. It was so popular they ended up showing in again on one of the last days. The director and others connected to the movie who were there for the first few showings had all left Park City. They all leave half way through. He stayed. He felt it was important that someone from the film was there to represent it and answer our questios in a Q&A after. He was amazing. So charming and so sincere, truly dedicated to his part in the film. He answered so many questions and gave such detailed answers instead of just one or two words. Seems like such a great person. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Brick is how all movies should be made. Interesting plot, intriguing characters, and all the ideas are unfamiliar. Its refreshing in these times of remakes, reboots, and unnecessary sequels. JGL is fantastic. I’ve liked him before that, having no other reason than his charisma coming through in weaker characters, but Brick was a dramatic turn that got me paying attention. 500 Days of Summer, though, I’m a little apprehensive. Love him, I like the feel of the trailer, and the premise sounds great, but ever since Tin Man, Zoey Deschanely hits my radar as a horrible actress. She works best with quirky characters, so here’s hoping this film is in her style.

Brick confused the heck out of me, but I want to give the movie a second chance. It might’ve been confusing because my dad required me to tell him what was going on every five minutes.

I can’t wait to see (500) days of summer, it’s just come to my local theatre so I’m excited. I’m thinking about going to go see itthis weekend.

Mysterious Skin, probably my favorite JGL movie. I thought the movie and his acting in that one was superior to the already great Brick.

Big fan of his. I wanna see (500) Days of Summer now.

His role in GI Joe was very badly written, but JGL made it believable. I won’t go into spoiler territory (although knowing who he is in Joe is kind of a spoiler when you watch it) but the character’s motivation was a little bit too insane to make it plausible, but JGL’s performance was great in an underwritten and relatively small role.

And I’m somewhat of a fan of 3rd Rock so I’ve been a fan of his for a while and like that he’s made his name more in small indie films than huge big name films.

“Crushing on” is such a cringe worthy term.

500 Days of Summer was awesome and I did enjoy Brick.

I don’t count out actors in roles they don’t seem ‘suited for’ since they put in Michael Keeton as Batman, so we’ll see.

I hated 3rd rock from the sun. So when this guy started doing movies I wanted to hate him. He was in the show that I hated and there was no way I could like anything he did. Then I saw Brick which was a brilliant movie that I loved. I decided I should give the kid a chance he is clearly a talented actor. Then the trailer for 500 days of summer came out and the movie looks really good and I’m excited to see it.
