1. Joseph Gordon-Levitt

This is one former child actor that we'd definitely recognize in the street! We still remember him as the adorable Tommy Solomon in the television series, 3rd Rock from the Sun. As a child, he also appeared in the films, A River Runs Through It and Angels in the Outfield. When the time came, he stopped acting in order to pursue his education at Columbia University, however, he soon realized his true passion and dropped out to pick up acting again.

We're so glad he did, because his career has only continued to flourish as an adult. We loved him in 10 Things I Hate About You, as well as The Dark Knight Rises, (500) Days of Summer, Inception, and Snowden. He brings every character he plays to life, which is why the movies he stars in always do so well at the box office.
