help 3rd Rock from the Sun FAQ
Why are the aliens in 3rd Rock from the Sun pretending to be a family?
The expedition adopts human bodies and poses as the Solomon family so it can study life on Earth without revealing its mission. High Commander Dick becomes the father, Sally the sister, Harry the brother, and the much older officer Tommy is placed in a teenager's body.
Why is Tommy treated as the oldest member of the 3rd Rock team?
Tommy is the aliens' senior information officer even though his human form is an adolescent played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The reversal lets the show contrast his authority within the mission with the restrictions of school and teenage life.
Who is the Big Giant Head, and who plays him?
The Big Giant Head is the Solomons' superior and eventually visits Earth in human form. William Shatner plays him, creating an additional science-fiction joke alongside John Lithgow's theatrical performance as Dick.
Does Dick Solomon tell Mary Albright that he is an alien?
Dick spends most of the series hiding the mission from Mary while pursuing an erratic romance with her. The truth becomes unavoidable near the end, when the Solomons are ordered to return to their home planet.
