To us, he’s right up there with Big Bird and Mr. Rogers. To others, he’ll always be the Chief Engineer aboard the USS Enterprise. Although we love Reading Rainbow—who knew it only ended a couple years ago—he’s most famous for his Emmy-nominated roll in Roots.

We’re talking about LeVar Burton of course, and he’s taking the Twitter world by storm. No simple mundane postings here—he’s mastered the ReTweet, is always up for a chat, and most importantly he's hosted Tweet-Ups abroad. No wonder he’s got over 150,000 followers.

Earlier this month LeVar was in Toronto as a guest on the talk show The Hour—it’s a little like Leno or Letterman and is hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos. Even before LeVar boarded the plane to TO he was thinking about what to do once his feet hit the ground.

Contemplating a Tweetup in TORONTO this evening. Anyone know of a place that serves up a decent pint in Yorkville?
