Tommy Solomon
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Tommy Solomon made 3rd Rock from the Sun a teenager who was not — alien unit posing as an Ohio family, Lithgow fully operatic, Johnston and Stewart matching him, Bonnie and Terry Turner’s high-concept farce. Emotions and bureaucracy wrecking the study. TV Flash files him as 1990s sitcom-kid craft with an old soul in the sneakers.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Tommy Solomon on 3rd Rock from the Sun, the alien posing as the teenager inside an Ohio family studying Earth. John Lithgow goes fully operatic; Kristen Johnston, French Stewart, and Gordon-Levitt match him. Bonnie and Terry Turner’s high-concept farce, then wrecked by emotions, bureaucracy, and Jane Curtin. Gordon-Levitt is the old soul in the sneakers, a kid performance that is also a commander’s joke. Those 1996–2001 NBC hours are the ones this desk still uses.

Here the angle is old soul in the sneakers, the teenager who is not.
