Jason David Frank is an American actor and mixed martial artist born on September 4, 1973. Frank is best known for playing Tommy Oliver in the Power Rangers series.
Power Rangers career
The Green Ranger, Tommy Oliver, was portrayed by Frank. He acted in the 14 episodes, allotted for the season. He was brought back as the White Ranger and the new team leader due to the popularity of the character.
White Ranger:
Before being called back to Power Rangers, Frank was meant to play the lead role of Adam Steele in VR Troopers (formerly known as “Cybertron”). He shot a pilot episode for the show. Frank and Brad Hawkins claim that the initial plan for Hawkins’ character on Power Rangers was to take the place of Tommy Oliver as the White Ranger.
Frank was reinstated, with Tommy Oliver taking over the White Ranger role due to Tommy Oliver’s popularity among Ranger fans. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers changed their name to Power Rangers Zeo after three seasons. The shift is a component of the annual Ranger suit change to coincide with the Super Sentai series’ annual update.
Red Turbo Ranger:
Frank’s persona evolved into the Red Zeo Ranger (also called Zeo Ranger V). His character became the first Red Turbo Ranger in Power Rangers Turbo the following year. Frank and his co-stars Johnny Yong Bosch, Nakia Burrise, and Catherine Sutherland were replaced as they decided to leave the cast in the middle of the season
