Joseph Gordon-Levitt

VANITIES

All Is VANITIES... Nothing Is Fair

AGE: 28. PROVENANCE: Los Angeles. NO MORE TOYING AROUND.. .Gordon-Levitt stars in the latest action-figure-to-big-screen adaptation, playing the villainous Cobra Commander in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. "It was nothing but fun," says the former 3rd Rock from the Sun star. "And I did feel connected to a grand tradition 0f acting by getting behind a mask and playing an archetype." AND FOR THE NON-GEEKS... Gordon-Levitt also stars in this month's (500) Days of Summer, a modern twist on the age-old love story where boy falls for girl-only girl isn't all that interested. In this instance the girl is Zooey Deschanel, with whom he acted nearly a decade ago in Manic. He kids, "We've aspired to compare ourselves to Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn." KRISTA SMITH
