Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt the new Jake Gyllenhaal?

"First, it's 'Who is Jake Gyllenhaal?,' then it's 'Get me Jake Gyllenhaal,' then 'Get me someone who looks like Jake Gyllenhaal,' and then 'Who is Jake Gyllenhaal?'...Right now, I'm between 'Who is Jake Gyllenhaal?' and 'Get me Jake Gyllenhaal.' "
Maybe he has moved on to the "Get me someone who looks like Jake Gyllehaal" stage? :)

That's a very astute statement of Jake's.

Even though he plays a "Jack" in (500) Days of Summer, JGL is definitely a Heath! His face is closed and open at the same time...very intriguing. I just watched the movie yesterday and so today I'm all pensive over destiny vs coincidence. Hmmm, I think it's a combination, just as it happened in the end, when his character found out that a girl he met hung out at the same spot he did, but he had never noticed her because he hadn't been looking.

Actually, wasn't he a kid D.J. couldn't stand?
They had a real eye for talent on that show. John Goodman, of course. He hadn't done anything major yet when he started. George Clooney, Laurie Metcalf, Estelle Parsons, Shelley Winters, Martin Mull, Fred Willard, Ned Beatty, Sally Kirkland, Tim Curry.

They certainly did, and in addition, one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much, I'm sure, is that Joss Whedon (Buffy/Serenity/Firefly/etc) was a principal writer.

Hunh, that's interesting.

Another peripheral factoid is that Glenn Quinn, who was Doyle on "Angel" also played Becky's boyfriend on "Roseanne". It was supposed to be a one-shot deal but became a recurring role. Sadly Quinn overdosed on heroin, I believe, after his "Angel" role wasn't working out. I liked his character and hated to see him go. I'm sure HubbyMeno knows more about it than I do.
