I've always liked LeVar. There has always seemed to be something so open and easy going about his personality that I've liked.

[xXJustiiinaxX]

ive met him before :P

i met him today. he spoke at my school :P

[practical85]

terrific guy all around.

[fawazr]

"Make contact with that reason..." (cue Star Trek theme). Ahh, so unnecessary to trivialize eloquent poignancy with an appeal to the hive-mind of pop culture.

Never the less, LeVar is mighty! Reading Rainbow has had in incalculably beneficial effect on so many young minds. It has fostered in me a love for literature. Thank you for posting this video.

[okkoto]

If I ever met him, I'd hug him.
