Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt the new Jake Gyllenhaal?

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.

I never knew that he was in roseanne. I thought he was very good in Angel. I did vagult know Jss Whedon had started there.
John Galecki too is great. He was Darlene's boyfriend in Roseanne but is now Leonard Hofstadter, in The Big Bandg Theory. He's been in a fair few things, but his comedic timing.. *love*
Sarah Gilbert (Darlne) has also done well for herself. She's been in 24 ER and the Big Bang Theory amongst others. (Did you know that she has 2 kids with her female ? I didn't)
Ellemeno:
I'm sorry to hear that Glenn Quinn died. He was very good as the bad boy on Roseanne.
I've always thought it is interesting about sisters Melissa Gilbert and Sara Gilbert - one played sweetness and light on "Little House on the Prairie," and the other so snarly and dark on "Roseanne."

Technically, half-sisters. Same mother, different father.

I remember being surprised when I learned that they are (half)sisters, despite the same last name (duh). But once I knew it, I totally saw it. And I remember being smitten by Melissa Gilbert as a kid, and the same goes for Sara many years later.
I never saw Sara Gilbert in anything else than Roseanne and a few episodes of ER. In the latter, she played some kind of adult Darlene. Same type. Loved her anyway.
Oh, and if Darlene weren't such an exotic name in Germany, we would have named our second daughter Darlene. Hubby and I both love the name :).
