On Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Jason David Frank portrayed Tommy Oliver, the Green Ranger. He has passed away. He was 49. Brian Butler-An, his talent agent, confirmed the information on Instagram.
A major draw for the Power Rangers franchise, Jason David Frank made his television debut in 1993 on the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series. Frank appeared in 10 episodes and 4 films, making him one of, if not the most, dependable characters throughout the franchise. Although he primarily played the Green Ranger, he would go on to play the White, Black, and Red Rangers in subsequent iterations of the Power Rangers series, which has been running almost continuously since the 1990s, with one as recently as this September.
Of all, Power Rangers has a sizable fan base that hasn’t truly given up since the show’s debut in 1993. Back then, just much every kid that age would act out their favourite Power Ranger during recess. And let’s face it, a lot of us fought over who should play the Green Ranger.
Jason David Frank had a successful martial arts background in addition to his acting career. In addition to being recognised into the Black Belt Hall of Fame, Frank was an eighth degree black belt. In addition, he had a brief MMA career in 2010 with a 1-0 professional record and a 3-0 amateur record.

AdvertisementPower Rangers was my first major obsession as a child, and some of my earliest memories are watching Mighty Morphin and Dino Thunder starring Jason David Frank. Rest in peace to an absolute legend who made generations of kids dream and aspire to be just as heroic as him https://t.co/K4HmvhOOlE

As part of their Legends in 3D collection, Diamond Select Toys just this month presented a superbly sculpted bust of the Green Ranger. Sales of pre-orders will undoubtedly soar after the news of Frank’s passing.
