On this edition of The Backstage Pass, I decided to take a look at a man who impacted a generation, LeVar Burton. 

There’s no denying that technology has made everything we can imagine more attainable; and no where is it more prevalent than in big studio blockbusters. As large studios demand bigger and bigger pictures, seeking higher payouts, and  pulling larger audiences than ever before, Hollywood movies are relying more and more on Computer Generated Images; or CGI. While it’s an amazing tool that allows the storyteller to flex the boundaries of the imagination, it can also backfire. For me, this begs the question: Is it being used too much?

Movie goers have long been enthralled by the epic tales of spies and special agents. From iconic characters like James Bond to the characters who parody them, such as Austin Powers, we are fascinated by the idea that we never truly know if there are covert agents threaded into the fabric of our everyday lives.
