The “Power Ranger” who was in the most episodes has died at the age of 49.
Jason David Frank was born in Covina, California. In the first season of “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” he played the green ranger and then the white ranger. In 1993, he joined the famous show, Tommy Oliver.
Frank’s manager Justine Hunt, said in a statement on Sunday that Frank had died in Texas. She didn’t say what killed him or when he died, but she did ask for the “privacy of his family and friends during this horrible time as we come to terms with the loss of such a wonderful human being.”
Sources who knew the person well told TMZ that the death was caused by suicide, but the official cause of death has not been made public yet.
Walter Emmanuel Jones was the first Black Power Ranger. He was on the show “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” with Frank “he couldn’t believe it, he wrote on Instagram. “It breaks my heart that another member of our special family has died, “Jones wrote. Thuy Trang, who was the first Yellow Power Ranger, died at age 27 in a car accident.
“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” a show about five teenagers who are sent to save the world from evil, debuted on Fox in 1993 and became a huge hit. Rita Repulsa, who played the bad guy, turned Frank’s character, Tommy Oliver, into a bad guy early on in the first season. But soon after, he became the Green Ranger and became one of the most popular characters on the show.
Even though his role wasn’t supposed to be permanent, Frank was later brought back as the White Ranger and the leader of the team. Frank’s Tommy Oliver also came back as the Red Zeo Ranger, the Red Turbo Ranger, and the Black Dino Ranger in spinoff TV shows. He also played him in the movies “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie” and “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie,” and he made a cameo in the 2017 reboot “Power Rangers.”
Frank is a practitioner of martial arts, and in 2009 and 2010 he fought in several mixed martial arts matches. Sources reported earlier that Frank’s second wife, Tammie Frank, filed for divorce from him in August. Frank has four kids, one from his marriage to Tammie Frank and three from his first marriage to Shawna Frank.
