Here we have yet another star from Captain Planet and the Planeteers. You've got to remember Kwame, the Planeteer from Ghana with the power of Earth. All you have to do is think of the theme song: "Earth, fire, wind, water, heart...go planet!" and the memories will all start flooding back. Like much of the Captain Planet cast, LeVar Burton went on to become much more famous for other things, particularly his onscreen work.
He used to host the PBS series, Reading Rainbow and he also starred in ABC's miniseries, Roots. His most well-known work was portraying Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Most people don't know that LeVar Burton is also an author and director - he even directed multiple television episodes for the Star Trek franchise. What a man!
