Fans of the classic 90s adventure series “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” are still in shock after the news of Jason David Frank, who played Tommy the Green (and White) Ranger, passing away. Frank was a mainstay in the convention scene; hosting costume contests, martial arts workshops, and in general, a pretty cool guy to encounter as a fan.
Director Amy Jo Johnson, who played Kimberly the Pink Ranger in the original series, has been tweeting a lot about Frank. The two played a couple on the series off and on, which first aired in 1993. Tommy of course was the ‘bad boy,’ who starts his tenure on the show as a villain. He eventually gets reformed, and becomes an important part of the team.
Johnson has been sharing several videos, photos, and memories of Frank on her personal Twitter account.
Johnson also recently chatted with E! News about Frank:
Jason David Frank passed away on November 20th, 2022. He was 49 years old.
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
