LeVar Burton (Kwame) Behind the Scenes of Captain Planet 

Between Star Trek TNG, Captain Planet, and Reading Rainbow, Levar had a substantial presence in my childhood. Good to know he feels good about being a part of this show. It is much-derided nowadays and it makes me glad that he was invested in it

LeVar's voice for Kwame was and still is THE BEST

So awesome he got to reprise Kwame again, for O.K. K.O.! Let's Be Heroes! The Power is Yours!

Not only did I watch this awesome dude on Star Trek The Next Generation with my Dad when I was a kid, but he was in PBS on Reading Rainbow and then Saturdays was voicing Captain Planet. Both shows my sister and I watched. 👍 Great actor and does a lot for kids. 😎👍❤️

Kwame is the name given to a male born on Saturday in Ghana. Go GH...💪😍

Yeah, LeVar!

This why im love the 90`s and 80´s better cause the cartoons that day where it`s learne everybody and the kids for good things like all the other cartoons too like Bravestar He-Man Captain planet and Power Rangers. Every ending its telling about smart things what is good and what is bad. Now days cartoon is full of shits! :(

I love that man

Kwame is my favorite! He is handsome, bashful, yet strong! He’s the quiet storm!

damn....i've watched this since i was a kid and never picked up on that subtlety.

Levar rocks as a role model. He has a great sense of humor too! I can't put it quite as well as @wolfoftheair, so I'll just totally agree.

lol i luv this show GO PLANET!

i know the whole theme song and the pledge. it has stayed with me all these years. and the reading rainbow!

Oh wow. I knew he was passionate about things, and I've agreed with the things he's shown a passion for -- everything I've ever seen him do, from Reading Rainbow to Star Trek TNG to Captain Planet to Roots, has been about spreading a message, that there *is* hope for the world, that there *is* hope for the future. Thank you for posting this -- I hadn't put that all together before. It's almost like he's got a vocation like Mister Fred Rogers to bring hope to the world.

My childhood

LeVar is so cool. I've loved him since Roots. But gotta love the spinach mullet.

Super cool video.

omg. I don't remember Lavar Burton being cute! Lol

omg mr state the obvious, I expected new data
