To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers we asked our users earlier this year to rank their Top 10 Power Rangers. We compiled the results in to a Top 20, and throughout the year we’ve been sharing the results! Today we’re ready to announce that the TokuNation users have voted Christopher Khayman Lee, who played Andros the Red Ranger from Power Rangers In Space, as the 8th Best Power Ranger of All Time!

When the evil space pirate Divatox destroyed the Power Rangers Turbo command center, zords, and powers, they decided to go off in to space and try to find, and save, the original mentor to the Power Rangers – Zordon – who had been taken captive by a being called Dark Specter on a distant planet. But before TJ, Carlos, Ashley, and Cassie could catch their breath, they were taken in to a space ship operated by a mysterious Red Ranger! He revealed himself as Andros, a possible sole-survivor of the planet KO-35, and upon learning of Zordon’s capture, quickly decided to go find his old friend. But when Astronema appeared, Andros had no choice but to learn to trust the humans and give them new Astro Morphers to become the Power Rangers In Space!

In what is considered a fan-favorite series, Andros and the other Power Rangers travel the galaxy trying to find Zordon. Along the way Andros searches for his long lost sister, has an old friend return to bolster their ranks, runs in to old friends and old enemies, and becomes the first Power Ranger to get a Battleizer, a super power up destined to sell more toys and started a tradition that continued all the way through Power Rangers Mystic Force and returned, in a sense, in Power Rangers Super Samurai.

The character Andros would return for a multi episode team up in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, and would star again in the 10th Anniversary episode “Forever Red” in the season titled Power Rangers Wild Force. Earlier this year, rumors sprung that perhaps the character Andros would return again, as an image of Christopher Khayman Lee holding a In Space Red Ranger card from the Power Rangers Action Card Game in an action pose circulated the Internet. We would sadly learn that he was not returning for the anniversary tribute episode in Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Christopher Khayman Lee, born way back in 1978, took an interest in acting and the spotlight after seeing his sister have some moderate success. The role of Andros for Power Rangers In Space was his big break in his acting career. When brought on to the set, he states in a podcast with No Pink Spandex, that he was actually kept isolated from the other actors to really enhance the “loner” aspect that his character was supposed to exhibit in the beginning of the season. He stated that, at times, he felt some negativity towards him as the “new guy” as well as replacing a current actor as Red Ranger while being a newcomer himself. Christopher would go on to have a recurring role on the show “Safe Harbo”, and would last be seen on our televisions as a long haired student in a scene for the now-classic “That 70’s Show”.
