under Power Rangers

In a recent interview with GeekCast Radio, veteran Power Ranger actor Jason David Frank has dropped hints that he may return for the franchise’s 20th anniversary.

During the interview JDF, who played Tommy Oliver on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers through to Turbo and then returned for Dino Thunder, said the following;

“Probably, because that’s probably what Saban’s talking with my agent about tomorrow. I don’t really have any clue what they’re talking about, but they did mention some 20 year anniversary thing.” “If Saban ever wanted me to do something, I would do it. I just want everyone to know that if you hear any rumors about Jason Frank not doing the 20 year anniversary for any other reason, I will tell everybody right now that I do things for fun. I would do it for all of my fans and I would do it for a dollar. If it doesn’t happen, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with money, it has to do with Saban. If the fans wanted to see me, it has nothing to do with money. It has to do with doing stuff for you guys.”
