Earth 2 character: Yale

Yale is family confidant of Adair's. He was like father to Devon and now to her son. His real name was Brayden, but when he didn't kill some scientist by Council's order, his memory got wiped and he was made a Yale. Yale's are half computer, half people with task to teach, but after a while all Yale's lost their mind, like we can see it happening to our Yale. Many of Yale's human parts have aged and been replaced with robotics. Maybe because of his "unhumanity" he soon becomes a groups confidant.

Actor: Sullivan Walker

Sullivan Walker, a former schoolteacher who now plays a master educator from the future in EARTH 2, learned his most valuable lesson from his family while growing up on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. "They taught me basic values that I still carry with me today," says Walker. "That is, the idea of working hard and doing one's best, believing in your dreams and believing that all things are possible."
Walker's own dreams started to come true in his early 20s. He was born in Success Laventille on Trinidad on a November 20. He studied at the University of the West Indies and taught primary school during the day. As night, he indulged his artistic bent by writing, dancing and studying Caribbean folk life, and remained torn over which career path to follow. In 1968 he created a street character that he performed in a talent contest, earning him third place and an airline ticket to New York.
As much as he enjoyed his native country, Walker's prized airline pass was his ticket to greater opportunity. He stayed in New York to study childhood education at New York University and teach while looking for stage roles. The next year he appeared in "A Season in the Congo" at the Harlem School of Arts. He continued working in regional theater and equity plays and on various tours for the next 15 years or so until he got his first big break, with the Negro Ensemble Company (under founder Douglas Turner Ward). Some of his theater credits include "Master Harold and the Boys," "Two Can Play," "Alterations" and "Dream On Monkey Mountain" (working with Nobel Prize winner Derek Walcott). In the recent "Two Trains Running," which was staged on Broadway and in several other venues, he played Hambone.
In 1985 Walker landed a feature film role in "Crocodile Dundee," and appeared last year as a scuba-diving shop owner who assisted Tom Cruise's character in "The Firm." He also co-starred as the family father in the comedy series "Where I Live," which ran from 1993 to 1994. Earlier, he gained recognition for his recurring performance on NBC's "Cosby" as Dr. Harmon, Cosby's competitive best friend. His other TV credits include the movie "Runaway" in 1987.
As Yale, the brainy, reconstituted tutor whose manufactured, multi-faceted left arm is a teaching tool, Walker portrays the last of a dying breed. "He's a man who is trying to reclaim his humanity. He possesses information about life and great books which becomes a burden to him. He's a man of great passion, but there's a kind of sadness about him."
Walker is a strong advocate of educating the public about Caribbean culture, which he hopes will change what he views as stereotypical attitudes about the region. To that end, he co-founded the Caribbean Experience Theater in New York to work with young acting students. Away from the set, he enjoys watching movies, playing soccer, walking, collecting Caribbean art, writing plays and short stories, and spending time with Keela, his 19-year-old daughter ("She's the light of my life"). He resides in Brooklyn, NY.
