Joseph Leonard Gordon-Levitt (/ˌdʒoʊsəf lɛnərd ɡɔːrdən ˈlɛvᵻt/; born February 17, 1981) is an American actor and filmmaker. As a child actor, he appeared in the films A River Runs Through It, Angels in the Outfield and 10 Things I Hate About You, and as Tommy Solomon in the TV series 3rd Rock from the Sun. He took a break from acting to study at Columbia University, but dropped out in 2004 to pursue acting again. He has since starred in 500 Days of Summer, Inception, Hesher, 50/50, Premium Rush, The Dark Knight Rises, Brick, Looper, The Lookout, Manic, Lincoln, Mysterious Skin and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
He also founded the online production company hitRECord in 2004 and has hosted his own TV series, HitRecord on TV, since January 2014. In 2013, Gordon-Levitt made his feature film directing and screenwriting debut with Don Jon, a comedy film in which he also stars. He previously directed and edited two short films, both of which were released in 2010: Morgan M. Morgansen's Date with Destiny and Morgan and Destiny's Eleventeenth Date: The Zeppelin Zoo. He starred as Philippe Petit in the Robert Zemeckis-directed film The Walk and will star as Edward Snowden in the Oliver Stone film Snowden, set for release in 2016.
Philippe Petit (French pronunciation: [filip pəti]; born 13 August 1949) is a French high-wire artist who gained fame for his high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, on the morning of August 7, 1974. For his unauthorized feat (which he referred to as "le coup") 1,350 feet (400 metres) above the ground, he rigged a 450-pound (200-kilogram) cable and used a custom-made 26-foot (8-metre) long, 55-pound (25-kilogram) balancing pole. He performed for 45 minutes, making eight passes along the wire. The next week, he celebrated his 25th birthday. All charges were dismissed in exchange for his doing a performance in Central Park for children.
Since then, Petit has lived in New York, where he has been artist-in-residence at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, also a location of other aerial performances. He has done wire walking as part of official celebrations in New York, across the United States, and in France and other countries, as well as teaching workshops on the art. In 2008, Man on Wire, a documentary directed by James Marsh about Petit's walk between the towers, won numerous awards. He was also the subject of a children's book and an animated adaptation of it, released in 2005. The Walk, a movie based on Petit's walk, was released in September 2015, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Petit and directed by Robert Zemeckis.
Walking (also known as ambulation) is one of the main gaits of locomotion among legged animals, and is typically slower than running and other gaits. Walking is defined by an 'inverted pendulum' gait in which the body vaults over the stiff limb or limbs with each step. This applies regardless of the number of limbs - even arthropods, with six, eight or more limbs, walk.
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the term walking includes activities such as walking in a park and trekking in the Alps. However, in Canada and the United States the term for a long, vigorous walk is hiking, while the word walking covers shorter walks, especially in an urban setting.

Charity walkers raising funds for cancer research by crossing the Sahara Desert argue and squabble over their relationships in the past. However when one of their number gets lost each walker begins to put their life in perspective and make decisions on where their real priorities lie.
A 25-year-old French daredevil did a tightrope walk across the top of New York in 1974 - on a 131-foot cable strung between the 110-story twin towers of the World Trade Center. The aerialist, accomplished juggler and unicyclist, is Philippe Petit, who said, “I see three oranges and I have to juggle. I see two towers and I have to walk.” The stroll, 1,350 feet above street level, lasted 50 minutes, from 7:05 to 7:55 a.m. Four times the 25-year-old Petit, who started out from the north tower, walked to a point near the south tower and then back north. Once he sat down on the wire cable - which is an inch in diameter - and another time he lay down on his back on the cable.

Lyrics: Reach into the void Touch the heart of darkness Reach for the light Feel the hand of god The uncertainty of my existence Can be decided by choice of a path I must walk So, sick monotone culprit Come on down and we'll talk about it Bow down to the gods Or keep on walking further. On the cusp of our enlightenment we march With the sun at my back I take my first step outside shading my thoughts and perceptions. Done from the truth I'll never run Be it the light or the shadow I walk in hand with all Born of nothing My thoughts are unconditional And I despise the façade of the original martyr Deep with the void Higher Searching for the light We leave this world behind The violent twisting of the fates The eminent collapse of our current state Born of nothing My thoughts are unc...

"The Walk" opens side two of The Time's second album, What Time Is It?. Recorded for the album at Sunset Sound in January 1982, the song was produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince with Morris Day later adding his lead vocals and Vanity 6 providing some backing vocals. The funk song opens with a brief drum fill and has several throughout the song, along with drum machines. The beat is somewhat of a march, which is emphasized by Day during the song's break by mimicking an army chant. The "walking" bass of the song is perhaps inspired by the song's title. The keyboards take an important roll, as well as plenty of rock guitar. Despite the song being performed nearly entirely by Prince, several band members are called out throughout the song (Jellybean Johnson and Terry Lewis) gi...

Inside-out, upside-down, twisting beside myself
Stop that now 'cause you and I were never meant to meet
I think you'd better leave, it's not safe in here
I feel a weakness coming on
Alright then, alright then, I could keep your number for a rainy day
That's where this ends, no mistakes, no misbehaving
I was doing so well, could we just be friends?
I feel a weakness coming on
It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all
I don't want to feel like this, yeah
Was not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all
I don't want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault
Inside-out, upside-down, twisting beside myself
Stop that now, you're as close as it gets without touching me
Oh now, don't make it harder than it already is
And I feel a weakness coming on
It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all
I don't want to feel like this, yeah
Was not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all
I don't want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault
Big trouble losing control
Primary resistance at a critical low
On the, on the double gotta get a hold
Point of no return, one second to go
No response on any level, red alert, this vessel's under siege
Total overload, all systems down, they've got control
There's no way out, we are surrounded
Give in, give in and relish every minute of it
Freeze, awake here forever
I feel a weakness coming on
It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all
I don't want to feel like this, yeah
Was not meant to be like this, it's just what I don't need
I don't want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault
Feel like this, it?s all your fault
Feel like this, it?s all your fault
Feel like this, it?s all your fault
