In the sci-fi sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun, John Lithgow plays Dick Solomon, the leader of an extraterrestrial team of explorers studying Earth culture. Dick and his crew assume human guises and pretend to be a typical family of four, but their behavior is anything but normal. Despite his erratic personality, Dick manages to hold down a job as a physics professor and keep a human girlfriend, Dr. Mary Albright (SNL veteran Jane Curtin).
