levar burton, who plays geordi la forge in star trek: the next generation, starred in roots as a slave (named kunta kinte) given, and forced to accept, the slave name "toby".
well, not when they misuse "you're". it's one of my pet peeves, and the reason i blew my chance to go to the national spelling bee finals when i was a kid. in fact, i still have horrible flashbacks every time i see that grammatical error. the horror. the horror.
Well, first off, thank you for asking. That's very...well surprising really. The old profile picture will probably come back, as it's my "true" identity here. And, no, I haven't been in anything else since then. At the time that was shot (shit, a million years ago at this point) I was barely interested in doing that sort of work. I helped out a friend, and it became what it is.
I'm happy to hear that random folks I meet on the internet are interested in what happened there. If you really are interested, Google Peter Alton, the writer/director of that short film, and you'll see the many projects he's been involved in since Les Supe (as it's been called).
