Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt the new Jake Gyllenhaal?

No, I'm not worried about him taking roles away from Jake. Time marches on. I just have the impression that critics are swooning over him in indie flicks the way they used to swoon over Jake. Plus he seems to be all over the indie flicks these days, too. Hence the question: Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt the "new" Jake Gyllenhaal?

Of course nobody can ever replace Jake. ;) But see my response to Laura. :)

What's wrong with the old one?

This led me to go read about JGL on Wikipedia, and Wiki quote http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Joseph_Gordon-Levitt
Here's his website

I saw 500 Days of Summer on Sunday, and as I watched I kept bemoaning the fact that JGL and Heath would never have a chance to play brothers in a movie. They would be so perfect, wouldn't they?
(Same with Isla Fisher and Amy Adams -- they could play sisters -- but they still have a chance.)

They're two months apart in age! I know, it surprises me, too.
Heath, for the record, would be less than two years older than JGL. :-\
