Dropping Names with Brent and Jonny (Star Trek: TNG cast podcast)

[Inversion]

Brent Spiner who played Data & Jonathan Frakes who played William T. Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation have LeVar Burton on who played Geordi La Forge. If you look at the name of the podcast and the rhythm of the show it's about how all things are connected. LeVar said his life was kissed by God. He's had a long career with one of his early works being the TV series Roots and The Hunter with Steve McQueen. He hosted 155 episodes of Reading Rainbow since it premiered in 1983-2006. They shared a story of being at Levar's bachelor party in Las Vegas and they wanted to see Frank Sinatra senior or junior perform but, the show was sold out. They bumped into one of the band members who got them a VIP table with champagne. At the end of the video, they all said I love you which shows how close they are after all these years. Being a fan of that show, it was nostalgic to see them talking to each other. Strange, how we are all aging. The necklace he and Brent are wearing are by LA LOOP which are designed to hold reading or sunglasses to prevent scratches.
