CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Actor, director and producer Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been named the Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals Man of the Year.

Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the nation’s oldest collegiate theatrical organization, announced Thursday that Gordon-Levitt was selected not just because of acting talent but because he is a “visionary entrepreneur who developed a revolutionary platform for artistic content creation and distribution.”

Previous winners include Clint Eastwood, Robert De Niro and Harrison Ford. Chris Pratt won last year.
