What are the power rangers up to these days?
The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Where are they now?
THE RED RANGER!
We will start out with Austin St. John, The Red Ranger! I am starting out with him because he was the hardest to find info on, its like he fell off the face of this planet! Further research shows that he was born in Roswell, New Mexico!
Home of an alien crash site, which is really miles outside or Roswell! But thats another story. My theory that since he was from Roswell that he was maybe from another planet and just really decided to fall off the face of this planet and return to his native planet! But that is very far fetched. While not much showed up on Austin's where abouts on the internet I did manage to find a couple of sites that claimed that he moved on to being a gay porn star! I have not confirmed this because I do not watch gay porn, but from what the other site said was that the movie he was in was called "LAGUNA BEACH: A LOVE AFFAIR", and he used the porno name "Jason Cutler". It also mentioned that the back of the box to the video promotes this Jason Cutler guy as once having played the Red Power Ranger for MMPR. The Laguna Beach movie was made in 1995, and Austin left the Power Rangers in 1994. I also heard that he was to become a paramedic, or working at Gold's Gym In Herndon, Virginia as a personal trainer. So I leave it to you to decide.
THE BLUE RANGER!
Moving on to David Yost, who played the Blue Ranger, who was on the Rangers till 1996. In 2000 he tried to revive his actor career by playing in a made for tv movie called "After Diff'rnt Strokes - the end to the Laughter" He played the role of a PlayBoy photographer, and then Yost slipped into obscurity once again just to reappear in 2001.
He then tried his hand at producing, working on the series Alien Hunter and Temptation Island. Then he disapeared again, who knows where he will turn up next! David was knowned on the Power Rangers for his stupid quotes such as,You Ooze, You Lose! He later revealed himself to be gay and left the show due to harassment from cast members and writers of the show.
THE YELLOW RANGER!
Next is Thuy Trang, the Yellow Ranger! After she left the show in 1994 she took a two year break until 1996 when she started doing movies. I guess that this would be the most successful Power Ranger yet as for movie jobs after being a ranger. She played a manicurist in the movie SpyHard, Then she played the role of Kali in The Crow: City of Angels. There were no more movie roles after The Crow part 2, wonder why? Heh. Sadly to say, but on Sept. 3, 2001 Thuy was killed while driving on a freeway in California. You probably did not know about this, as I did not realize this until like a year ago! If you are wondering why that you did not know of the Power Ranger death, well after Sept. 11, 2001, she was put on the back burner.
THE PINK RANGER!
Next up is Amy Jo Johnson, the Pink Ranger! After she left the Power Rangers at the end of 1995 I would have to say that Amy would have to be the most successful in the tv acting field after the Power Rangers. Amy has had guest appearances on Spin City, ER, Saved by the Bell: The New Class. She also has had many other tv roles other than guest appearances. In 1998 she was on the show Felicity playing Julie Emrick until 2000. In 1999 she had a starring role in the TV movie Sweetwater. She continues to do small TV acting today. But her main passion now is her music! Yeah you heard right, the Pink Power Ranger is in a band. She just released her new cd, im guessing self made, called: Amy Jo Live in Hollywood, with two other cds she made. Im sure If you lived out in California you could catch her show for under ten bucks. there are some clips of her music on her Website. Im not digging it, but thats not for me but for you to decide. She also did a nude scene in the movie called Pursuit of Happiness in 2001.
THE BLACK RANGER!
Here comes Walter Jones, The Black Ranger! When I found out what the Black Ranger is up to now I cracked up! But first off Walter left the show in 1994. Then he played roles on a couple TV shows that got canceled quickly, Malibu Shores and Space Cases on Nickelodeon. He has guest starred on Family Matters:Teacher's Pet episode, The Parent 'Hood, In the House, Moesha, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, NYPD Blue, and a few episodes of The Shield, including the pilot. Other strange facts about Walter: In 1992, he played a barber shop customer in Malcom X. He is missing part of his middle finger and his mother shows his photos to people on the public buses. He was also the very first black ranger! He was on Star Search as a Dancer, and danced in the 1992 Olympics. In 1994 he was on Vh1's I love the 90's as himself and I think that was his last tv/movie gig since I am writing this. Now you ask Where is he now? Walter Jones is now a Salsa Dance instructor. He took first place in the 2004 Mayan World Salsa Competition. His Salsa dance classes range from the price of ten to eighteen bucks for a day. Who would pass up an offer to learn to dance from a Ex-Power Ranger? Check Out his Salsa Dance Website. Jones was arrested back in 2009 for Driving While Intoxicated while attending a power rangers convention in Alabama.
THE GREEN/WHITE RANGER!
And last but not least, Jason David Frank, The Green/White Ranger! He has appeared in over 190 episodes of the various versions of the Power Ranger series which makes him the longest running Power Ranger! In 2005 he was still working on the Power Rangers! He has had TV guest appearances on such shows as Family Matters playing "Skull" in the Karate Kids episode, and also was on four Sweet Valley High Episodes! In 1999 Jason was on an episode of MTV's Erotic TV Show called Undressed.
You can also catch him on this movie called "Fall Guy: The John Stewart Story", But I doubt this movie will ever even be released to vhs with it's terrible acting in it. Warning: do not kill yourself if you watch this but I was lucky enough to find a video clip of the great acting in the movie! So you want to know what he does now? Well besides from still living off of doing Power Ranger gig, Jason now owns and teaches at The Rising Sun Karate Academy in Southern California, and some of the courses he teaches has the Ranger name in them. He also owns another Academy in Toms River New Jersey. Check out His cheesy Commercial for his karate school with the shameless Power Ranger plug in it! He's also a member of the U.F.C. nowadays.
Power Rangers are ASININE, we all know it!
