About Me

My name is Levar Burton. You can find me on Star Trek (I'm that dude with the weird thing over my eyes) or cuddling up next to my tiger reading a book. Neat stuff. I am also the host, executive producer and creator of the long-running and highly praised children's television show Reading Rainbow on PBS, which extolls the virtues of literacy. My voice was used for the character named Kwame in the cartoon series Captain Planet and the Planeteers. At one point in my career before Star Trek, I appeared on a music video called "Word Up!" by R&B band Cameo.%D%A
