Levar Burton makes a "cameo" appearance

He's at the beginning, then he pops back up at 2:50.:guffaw:

I know, said isn't it? However, "Back in the day" cameo was really cool.

BTW: If you needed funds (Especially for Transformer Toys) I bet you would do the same thing, I would I'm afraid. :)

He probably considered it a privilege to get the part, since cameo was hot back then. I don't think he was doing out of a lack of funds. The man had his own damn tv show at the time, don't forget. I'm disappointed that he didn't dance, though. That would have made an awesome animated gif.
 
^True, That! He did have Reading Rainbow, but it's on PBS. He probably didn't make much.
 
Oh, hilarious! I forgot all about this! BTW, that song and album from Cameo came out only months before the premiere of TNG. I still have my old VHS tape of the premiere ep, and I swear, there is a Coke commercial with Cameo, sung to the tune of Word Up! -- RR
 
If I exposed a few new people, my job is done. :lol: Welcome to the Other Side.

So...Levar's not looking so bad now, is he?

I reckon Cameo is a dead ringer for Flanders from the Simpsons.

You just don't see enough of those big moustaches anymore.
