Joesph Gordon Levitt has had an amazing run of movies.

[red33]

Batman, inception, 50/50, 500 days, then he has Looper and Lincoln.

This dude is on fire IMO and i find myself enjoying all of his roles. Only stupid move here i see is tht premium rush bike movie but whatever. Is he going to be the next huge star in hollywood like cruise or pitt?

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Awesome actor.

 

[EmpireWF]

He is awesome...but he's had some clunkers recently, too. Though when he hits, it's usually big. Don't forget, he's got a part in Django Unchained, too.

Only 31 years old, could be an A-lister before too long.

 

[IamMedellin]

dont forget "The Lookout"

that was a good one

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

He's got his directorial debut coming up next year too starring himself.

Hesher, while not amazing, was pretty solid in my opinion.

Yeah, taking the 5th lead in two Christopher Nolan movies has been a good career move. Who knew?

 

[Jmiles]

Angels in the Outfield :shifty:

 

[Bomberooski]

Angels in the Outfield :shifty:

He was freaking awesome in that movie.

 

[dope]

don't forget "brick", but that just might be me alone who liked that movie

 

[Buzzman]

PREMIUM RUSH LOOKS JIZZWORTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No he doesn't. He dropped out for his directorial debut, Don Jon's Addiction.

JGL is my favorite actor currently. Manic, Brick, Mysterious Skin, The Lookout, 500 Days of Summer, Inception, Hesher, 50/50, Dark Knight Rises -- he is fantastic in every one.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

He was Cobra Commander !

10 things i hate about you FTW

 

[Tailback U]

He's not a lead for most movies, he is a very good actor but his look limits what he can do.

You'll never see him win an Oscar or star in a good movie that isn't a love story or a comedy.

He had comparitively small roles in Batman and Inception, I don't even know what 50/50 is, 500 days of summer was an ok movie nothing special, the lookout was another decent movie that nobody is watching twice.

Great actor, who I do like, but he hasn't had any memorable roles and I don't see him having one any time soon.

My favorite role of his is actually the one with Mickey Rourke where he plays a psycho hillbilly - Killshot. Movie was decent, he was great in it because it was different from any other role he's done.

How haven't you heard of 50/50? It was nominated for Best Picture at the Golden Globes, JGL was also nominated for best actor for that movie.

He's starring in Looper latter this year, an action movie.

Mother fucker, his best roles are in Brick, Manic, and Mysterious fucking skin. All hardcore dramas. Don't make a comment on a subject you're obviously ignorant on.

All it takes is one.
Hes a very well rounded and fundamentally sound actor. He doesn't get by on looks (even though he is a good looking guy) , or a gimmick like most actors.

I agree with what youre saying but dont count out the possibility of some awesome role coming along. His actual advantage is that he hasnt been typecasted yet. For whatever reason he reminds me of Edward Furlong except less drugs and a much better work ethic.

Killshot is awful.

But - what are you talking about? He's usually the lead in movies he excels in - Manic, 50/50, Brick, Mysterious Skin, 500 Days of Summer, The Lookout, Hesher.

He'll be the lead in Looper, a sci-fi action movie from Rian Johnson, director of Brick, The Brothers Bloom and the Fly episode of Breaking Bad.
He makes his directorial debut and is the lead in Don Jon's Addiction - a drama.
He'll be the lead in Premium Rush, which looks like a dumb, turn-your-brain-off, race-against-the-clock, biking-parkour-action movie.

Whatchutalkinbout?

I would say most if not all of those movies are "under the radar" film festival type movies. Not huge hollywood hit movies.
Strictly in terms of popularity not quality hes never been a lead in a major picture.
