Tommy Solomon is a fictional character from the American sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun. He was portrayed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
When the Solomons originally came to Earth, Tommy, despite being the oldest of the aliens, was given the body of a young teenage boy, although the body aged to young adulthood over the course of the mission. As Information Officer, Tommy is the most intelligent of the Solomons, and he is typically charged with gathering information about Earth, mainly from television shows and films. During the final season Joseph Gordon-Levitt left the series and became a recurring character, so in the storyline Tommy is said to have gone to college.
[edit] Running gag
The major running gag of Tommy is that he is the "least" sexiest of the other alien colleagues, for Dick has charm, Sally has looks and Harry has an exotic sexual behavior. For example, in one episode, at the bar where Harry works later in the series, there was a machine that tests how sexy you are. When Tommy tries it out, he gets the lowest score, while Harry gets the highest.
[edit] Love Life
Tommy has had two main girlfriends over the course of the show, August Leffler and Alissa Strudwick. He has a lot of difficulty maintaining a relationship with any girl, as he often forced to come up with plausible explanations for his family's bizarre behavior. Therefore, much of his relationships seem to involve him begging his girlfriend to not leave him.
Tommy has had other love interests, although typically ones that only last a single episode. Among the most notable were his glee club teacher, a goth student and even, on one occasion, Dr. Mary Albright and her sexually experienced niece.
