My God, it’s like they took every single cliche from 1980s music videos and put them onscreen. I cannot believe that I have never seen this before; they must have locked in a vault until the stars were no longer right.
And yes, that’s apparently Levar Burton in there. No doubt praying that nobody would ever notice him afterward. Which is a reasonable prayer; the man’s best known role had him wearing a headband over his eyes.
LeVar Burton has done worse things, like Star Trek: Nemesis.
