LeVar Burton - Wikipedia

Thanks Maj Marty Hogan for letting us know that February 16 is the 61st anniversary of the birth of American actor, presenter, director and author Levardis Robert Martyn "LeVar" Burton Jr. who is probably best best known for his roles as the host of the long-running PBS children's series Reading Rainbow, Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation and the young Kunta Kinte in the 1977 award-winning ABC television miniseries Roots.
Happy Birthday LeVar Burton with many happy returns!

"From Episode 1725, where LeVar Burton (the voice of Kwame from Captain Planet, Martin Luther King Jr. from Our Friend Martin, Geordi LaForge from Star Trek: the Next Generation, Kunta Kinte from Roots, and himself on Reading Rainbow), another beloved PBS star, visits Mister Rogers' Neighborhood to share with him his acting career as well as a book about being a daddy. It's so wonderful to see my two favorite PBS icons together, as well as to see them being such good friends, especially since they have both been a great part of my childhood, growing up with both Mister Rogers' Neighborhood AND Reading Rainbow, two beloved, great, and nostalgic PBS shows."
