StarTrekPicard season 3 star LeVar Burton talks filming episodes with his daughter Mica, who has been cast in the show as his character's daughter. '[It's] about the next generation of The Next Generation in many respects.'
Star Trek actor LeVar Burton reveals that he got to film scenes with his daughter on Star Trek: Picard season 3. Picard is a series that launched on Paramount+ in early 2020, following Patrick Stewart's iconic Star Trek: The Next Generation character Captain Jean-Luc Picard in his later years.
LaForge is one of the key characters of The Next Generation, having appeared on all 176 episodes of its 7-season run. The character is congenitally blind and used a silver visor across his eyes to provide him with vision before he received implants in future seasons. After starting as the helmsman of the USS Enterprise under Captain Picard, he was promoted to chief engineer.Burton recently sat down with Yahoo! Entertainment to discuss his work on Reading Rainbow and his career as a whole.
It was a lot of fun on so many levels. I also get to work with my kid: my daughter, Mica, plays one of Geordi's two daughters. So the whole storyline really is about the next generation of The Next Generation in many respects. Burton's daughter Mica has carved out her own space in the fan community, becoming a well-known cosplayer, host, and actress in her own right. She started off as a host for various gaming divisions at the company Rooster Teeth, including Achievement Hunters and The Know before moving on to work with the Overwatch League and Wizards of the Coast.
The role that Mica is playing in Star Trek: Picard also reveals a little bit about what LaForge has been up to since he has last been seen onscreen in 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis. The last time he was seen, he had not had children nor a major romantic partner. Presumably, the series will fill in the gaps and allow viewers a glimpse into LaForge's activities over the past few decades.
