LeVar Burton played Geordi in StarTrek TNG, which I guess is how many of us know him. But for those of you who don't know (I didn't until recently) encouraging/enabling people to "read" is actually LeVar Burton's main gig. He presented Reading Rainbow [1] long before his involvement in Star Trek. Reading Rainbow itself, was somewhat recently rebooted by LeVar: https://www.readingrainbow.com/ https://www.readingrainbow.com/ [1] A show to encourage children to read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Rainbow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Rainbow
