Jason David Frank shot to fame portraying the ever-popular Tommy Oliver in the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," which ran from 1993 to 1996. He began the series as The Green Ranger where, under the control of Rita Repulsa, he fights against the rest of the Rangers. However, Oliver is eventually broken free from Repulsa, joins the Power Rangers, and becomes their leader. While all the Power Rangers were popular, Oliver had a far more interesting backstory and complex character arc than the rest of the team, which led to him being a standout favorite among the group.
"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" only lasted for three seasons, but Frank played Oliver countless times throughout his career. Most recently, he joined forces with Bat in the Sun Productions and reprised the role in their 2018 short, "Power Rangers Legacy Wars: Street Fighter Showdown." The film includes tons of nostalgic goodness, including a courageous Oliver, shiny power coins,...
