LeVar is also starring in the New Show, PERCEPTION.
I loved “Reading Rainbow” as a child, and I’m so happy that LeVar Burton has been able to use new media to resurrect this very worthwhile project.
I couldn’t agree more with Cardinal Biggles – Levar’s passion for this effort of his after so many years must be strong.
