    Wow man I guess I need to know more about a select few people (I try to avoid knowing too much, I dont want parasocials)

    Unless someone very nice wants to infodump at me about it which would be strongly preferable and something lemmy might supply if I ask very very nicely, which everyone else also probably wants to know…

    Please lemmy daddy, please give me context ☺️🥰

      Well, “context” for the image itself can be viewed here. But bear in mind, Eric Andre is weird and awkward for the sake of weird and awkward.

        So none of this was levar burton? I’m faceblind in like the best of circumstances, so idk, thats why I was asking for infodump context and not videos or something specifically. 😊

          Ah, gotcha. That’s Lance Reddick, known for The Wire, Fringe, and the John Wick series. An esteemed actor in his own right, pretending that he hadn’t made it quite like Geordi actor LeVar Burton. That look he’s donning is a combo of Geordi la Forge from Star Trek TNG and Kunta Kinte of Roots, arguably LeVar’s 2 most prominent roles.

            That tracks, it didn’t sound like burton but I havent seen those other things so I dont have a sound profile for that individual, I guess.
