In honor of accomplished television and film actor - and one of the stars of the movie of the summer, INCEPTION - Joseph Gordon-Levitt, this Saturday Special shall shine some light on the triple-threat A-list star who is currently in preparation for his theatrical debut at Town Hall on October 28th. All eyes of Hollywood and Broadway will be on him on that momentous night, but if the following clips - or, furthermore, a past featured clip in this column, his SNL hosting gig showcasing him positively nailing SINGIN' IN THE RAIN's "Make 'Em Laugh" complete with athletic and acrobatic accoutrement - are any indication, there is no need to worry. At all. INCEPTION may have all been a dream, but it seems so, too, is the multi-faceted talent of this star-on-the-rise - heck, megastar - taking time out of his packed schedule to do a night of songs, skits, shorts and other surprises which shall introduce a whole new audience to his astonishing gifts exceeding far beyond the television star - of THAT 70s SHOW and 3rd ROCK FROM THE SUN - or films - like (500) DAYS OF SUMMER - that he is best known for, but revealing the blooming and blossoming Broadway baby at the core of his soul. All shall be revealed, but first get gaga for JGL and brush up vous francais for some Brel ala Broadway, Deschanel duets, "Express Yourself", and much more. WARNING: These clips contain explicit language!
