Remembering Jason David Frank (1949-2022)

 Another gut punch for 90's kids.

Just over a week after Kevin Conroy, the beloved voice of the Batman from 1992-forward, had passed away from cancer, an actor associated with another Fox Kids franchise has passed.

Jason David Frank played Tommy, the Green Ranger, during the early years of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise, but, aside from a memorable guest appearance on Family Matters (and a fight scene he choreographed), he seemed to disappear. Still, it comes as a shock to fans of the Power Ranger franchise.

It would be too easy to bring back that Family Matters clip, in which Frank played a gang member embarrassed by Steve Urkel (Jaleel White), but instead, we'll use a Power Rangers clip. Here, Tommy regains his powers and Green Ranger identity.


Rest in peace.
