Since the early 1990s, the domination of the Power Rangers series on television has been staggering. The Power Rangers series was inspired by the Japanese tokusatsu and its success has been phenomenal over the years. Mighty Morphin was the first launch in the Power Rangers series and the reach of this superhero tv series shocked many. All artists from Mighty Morphin went on to act in films, tv shows and other Power Rangers as well. But, what do they do now and how are their current lives? Let’s see everything about the cast of Power Rangers Mighty Morphin.
Power Rangers Mighty Morphin Cast
Austin St. John
Well, it’s ideal to begin with Austin St. John who played the role of Jason Lee in Power Rangers Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers Zeo. Jason is the first to have played the role of a Red Ranger. Austin played the role of Red Ranger at 19 and the actor reprised the same role at 49 in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always film.
Success is never permanent for an actor. Fans who saw Austin as a hero were shocked when the artist was involved in fraudulent activities by the CARES Acts. After the release of Mighty Morphin, the star never got the fame he deserved.
Austin St. John, who had a great chemistry in Power Rangers, doesn’t have a love story in his real life. The actor has never spoken about his love interest openly in interviews.
Zack Taylor
Now, it’s time to know about the shrewd and first Black Ranger portrayed by Walter Emanuel Jones aka Zack Taylor. At 23, he played the role of a Black Ranger in Mighty Morphin and then appeared in a short role in Power Rangers Wild Force.
Grit and Determination were the key to Zack’s success. Losing the left middle finger never affected Zack Taylor’s career as the talented actor went to star in successful films like Space Cases and Malibu Shores.
A trivia about Zack Taylor can be shocking as the artist never collaborated with other actors from the Power Rangers universe.
Richard Steven Horvitz
It won’t be fair, if we ignore speaking about Richard Steven. Alpha 5, the robot, has been the savior of power rangers and the voice over for this AI Robot was provided by Richard. The artist lent his voice for Alpha 5 in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, and Power Rangers Turbo.
Richard made his debut in films when he was 21. At 27, Richard Steven fulfilled his dream of becoming a voice artist and his voice has been loved by many inside the film industry over the years. His unique speaking style and accent were applauded. Currently, the actor is 58 and continues to act in TV shows. He fell in love with a screenwriter and leads a happy life.
Not many know about Richard’s appearances in Video Games as the artist is one of the primary characters in top games like Ratchet & Clank, and Broken Age
Trini Kwan
Now, let’s find out about the martial artist from the Mighty Morphin universe. Thuy Trang or better known as Trini Kwan is the very first yellow ranger from the Power Rangers universe. Thuy Trang rocked with her performances in Power Rangers Mighty Morphin and Alpha’s Magical Christmas. Her fringe hairstyle was the first for any power ranger character.
Life is tragic for many artists and Thuy Trang lost her life in an unexpected accident. This shocked the entire film industry and her co-artists from the Power Rangers were unable to come out of it. Thuy’s career graph never grew as her last notable release was The Crow: City of Angels.
Amy Jo Johnson
Well, Amy Jo Johnson is the beauty queen of Power Rangers Mighty Morphin. Amy aka Kimberly Hart is the first Pink Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and she was 23 when she made her debut. After Mighty Morphin, Amy acted in successful TV shows including Felicity, Flashpoint, and Cold Hearts.
The gorgeous lady was loved by entire Power Rangers’ fans. Kimberly’s cute reactions and emotions attracted fans. Kimberly Hart was the first crush for fans of power rangers and her outfits were also loved by many. After 9 years of marriage life, she had to part ways with Olivier Giner.
Amy is 53 years old currently and she doesn’t have enough films in her bag. The actress resides in Canada after securing a Canadian citizenship.
David Yost
Now, let’s see the transformation of a hero who was a nerd once. David Yost, who was an athlete in high school, played as the first Blue Ninja Ranger and is also the long-lasting member of Mighty Morphin. Billy appeared in more than 140 episodes and stands as a top performer of the Mighty Morphin series. David Yost also played a key role in Power Rangers Zeo.
A successful debut can end in a wrong way as well. At 24, David Yost was cast in Mighty Morphin, but the artist never saw success in a career spanning over 30 years. David is 55 years old and the artist was last seen in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always.
Tommy Oliver
An antagonist doesn’t need any introduction. Jason David Frank is well-known for his portrayal as the first “Green Ranger with Evil” who takes on the gang of Power Rangers. Being a Martial Artist, Jason mastered the role of Tommy Oliver aka Green Ranger effortlessly. Jason reprised the same role in Power Rangers Dino Thunder and Wild Force.
The personal life of Jason affected his professional life. Jason married Shawna and the pair separated after 7 years. The actor married Tammie and was planning for a divorce in 2022 before he committed suicide.
Rocky DeSantos
Steve Cardenas is not as popular as other artists in the Power Rangers universe. But he will be remembered for his role as the Red Ninja Ranger in Mighty Morphin and Blue Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo.
At 20, Steve had phenomenal success for his portrayal as Rocky DeSantos. Steve Cardenas is 50 years old and it’s safe to say the actor’s film career looks bleak after his desire to open a Martial Arts Dojo. But nothing can stop the artist’s passion and love for Martial Artist.
Katherine Kat Hillard
Let’s shift the focus towards another gorgeous Pink Ranger. At 19, Catherine Jane Sutherland played as Pink Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zoo and Power Rangers Turbo. There’s no word to describe the beauty and performance of Katherine Kat Hillard in the episodes of Mighty Morphin.
Power rangers fans have always loved Katherine’s pop cut hairstyle. Catherine Sutherland’s journey as an artist has not been exceptional, but the glamorous actress still looks upbeat about another breakthrough at 50 years.
David Fielding
Finally, it’s the right time to speak about the mentor of the Power Rangers gang. At 30, David Fielding was the senior most actor in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series and he portrayed the role of Zordon, a mentor and genius man with magical powers and special skills. Zordon, the mentor, passed on the baton and special abilities to the teens with a goal to destroy the evil alien sorceress, Rita Repulsa.
David Fielding is 60 years old and the artist lends his voice for video games and other fictional shows
