I'm sure many of you have seen the ads/trailers for Christopher Nolan's Inception, which opens July 16 and features Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a large supporting role (originally to have been played by James Franco). If not, check out the official site (http://inceptionmovie.warnerbros.com/).
Nolan's other movie featuring a [future] DS actor was 2002's Insomnia with Martin Donovan.

He is also in the new DETAILS! Here is the cover (http://www.pinkisthenewblog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/070610_jgldetailsmag.jpg) and part of the article where he talks about his love for weed! I always knew he would be an great actor from childhood! WARNING ADULT LANGUAGE:
From Pinkisthenewblog.com
On whether he was frustrated after the end of 3rd Rock From The Sun: “I would answer that question with a resounding yes. I was scared and depressed for a while. Not that I had any reason to fuking be depressed—I mean, I was going to college and everything. It was not like I was hungry. But absolutely. I was like, ‘Shit, I don’t know if anybody’s gonna let me act. They’ll let me be in another sitcom, but I don’t want to do that. This is terrible.’ Yeah.”
On curbing his pot smoking: “When I was in high school, I loved smoking weed. I loved it. But I cut myself to once a month. That was my rule. And so as the first of the month came closer, my friends would be like, ‘All right, what’s the plan this weekend?’ And actually it’s really cool—when you do it that infrequently, you can really trip. In hindsight, could I have smoked weed on the weekends? Yeah. But it was cool to do it once a month. I still do that sometimes—I go on little weedfests. I’m a pothead. That’s my drug of choice.”
On tabloid culture being toxic: “It’s a bunch of bullshit, a waste of time. It depresses me. And I’m not easily depressed. When I’m at the grocery store, those magazines—they always suck me in. I go, ‘I can’t f–kin’ believe that this is what we’re looking at.’ It’s really sad. Why shouldn’t there be beautiful works of art on the grocery stands? Like Bob Dylan said, you know, art doesn’t belong in museums, it belongs in gas stations… Even in a purely selfish way, I would absolutely argue that you are bringing bad shit your way by consuming and enjoying that kind of hostility.”
On one day being hunted down by paparazzi: “Look, I’ve met some nice guys who take pictures like that. I don’t want to demonize anybody. But I do think that this notion that certain people are in a higher class than other people is unhealthy. We would be healthier as a people if we quit paying attention to that kind of bullshit and paid more attention to more pertinent things and more beautiful things.”
