LeVar Burton is a literacy campaigner and child advocate and should be treated with Fred Rogers levels of reverence and if he's not, people havent been paying attention, they're racist, or both. That man is a national treasure.
For non-Trekkies & non-Americans here, like me, who missed the cultural reference - here's Levar Burton: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeVar_B...
His portrayal of LaForge is what let me accept that I am a nerd and I'm passionate about it. My career in IT is thanks to him.
LeVar Burton must be protected at all costs
can confirm, is national treasure. Was happy he got a park in his name, but it should really be a chain of libraries.
I need to get his podcast back into my rotation

... and to generalise: seems to me that pretty much everyone who was on Star Trek did other cool stuff afterwards.
My childhood hero 💯
Who are you speaking to? You’re yelling at imaginary people. So brave to say something so controversial?
Weirdly, while I share the admiration for LeVar Burton I have no idea who Fred Rogers is...
