Why write about the Power Rangers? Be-
cause my last write-up about what hap-
pened to the cast of a show seems like it's
pretty popular. Because any time you hear
the words "Power Rangers" the theme
song plays in your head. Because one epi-
sode, Zack tries to teach Alpha "hip-hop-
ki-do". Because reading '"aie-aie-aie"
makes a robot voice sound in your head.
And most of all, because they're awesome.
Let's start with Billy.

Billy Cranston, the Loser (Blue) Ranger,
ended up playing "Playboy Photographer"
in an hour long made for TV movie called
After Diffrent Strokes: When the Laugh-
ter Stopped. I don't know what a Playboy
Photographer does in a movie called
"Different Strokes", but it clearly can't be
anything good. Billy always struck me as
the "skeevy perv" type, so this is the per-
This seems to be his only serious work
besides being a producer on "Temptation
Island", one of the worst reality TV shows
ever made. Who would've thought that
playing a gigantic, awkward nerd on a
kid's TV show wouldn't get you more
work? If he was faking "Billy" from
Power Rangers all along and he is actually
the coolest man on earth, he deserves an
actually is a giant nerd.
Tommy, the White Ranger, ended up
playing in a movie called "Fall Guy: The
Tommy would spontaneously combust
and fall out of a building and die, you can
watch that here. The scene I'm describing
is probably something Billy Cranston
wished on Tommy numerous times while
on the set of Power Rangers.
Walter Jo
the Black Ranger, is missing the middle
finger on his left hand,
so if you're going to cut-off Walter Jones
on the highway, make sure you pass him
on the left side so he can't flip you off.
Feel free to take both hands off the wheel
and wiggle your fingers towards him
while you'e passing, too, to show how
many more fingers you have than he
does. Walter Jones actually has had a very
successful career, being on several TV
shows (like CSI) and co-starring in a
movie called Love and a Bullet. So good
for him.
Austin St. John, the Red Ranger, was in
the movie Exposé in 1998 and really has-
n't done anything outside of Power Rang-
ers. He made a cameo in Power Rangers
Wild Force in 2002 as the Red Ranger,
and I can only imagine how depressing it
is to dress up as a robot man that fights
putty monsters when you're almost 30
years old and trying to be a serious actor. I
imagine it'd do something like this to you,
probably. ;
