a
piece

sad
news
for
you.
Actor
Jason
David
Frank,
who
essayed
the
character
of
Green
Power
Ranger
Tommy
Oliver
and
later
White
Ranger
on
the
much-loved
1990s
series
Mighty
Morphin
Power
Rangers,
is
no
more.
Yes,
you
read
that
right!
According
to
reports,
the
actor
and
mixed
martial
artist
breathed
his
last
on
November
19
at
the
age
of
49.
Frank’s
manager,
Justine
Hunt
confirmed
the
news
of
his
sad
demise
to
The
Associated
Press
on
Sunday.
Without
revealing
the
cause
of
the
actor’s
death,
she
requested
the
“privacy
of
his
family
and
friends
during
this
horrible
time
as
we
come
to
terms
with
the
loss
of
such
a
wonderful
human
being.”
Frank’s
sports
agent
at
Sucker
Punch

Biran
Butler-Au
also
confirmed
the
same
by
posting
a
heartfelt
note
on
social
media
along
with
a
picture
with
the
Power
Rangers
star.
He
wrote,
“Very
sad
to
hear
about
my
friend
and
client
Jason
David
Frank’s
passing.
Jason
was
a
martial
artist
best
known
for
playing
Tommy
in
the
Power
Rangers.
He
was
a
true
martial
artist
and
I
had
the
pleasure
of
managing
him
for
the
fights
he
competed
in.
If
anyone
you
know
may
be
depressed
please
check

them.
#RIP

Take
a
look
at
his
post

Frank’s
Mighty
Morphin
Power
Rangers
co-star
Walter
Emmanuel
Jones
too
mourned
his
death.
Posting
an
old
picture
on
Instagram
with
the
whole
Power
Rangers
gang
including
Frank,
Jones
wrote,
“Can’t
believe
it….
RIP
Jason
David
Frank
(folded-hands
emoji).
My
heart
is
sad
to
have
lost
another
member
of
our
special
family.”
For
the
universe,
their
co-star
Thuy
Trang
passed
away
in
2001
at
the
age
of
27
in
a
car
accident.
He
played
the
role
of
the
Yellow
Power
Ranger
in
the
series.
Coming
back
to
the
show,
Power
Rangers
revolved
around
five
teenagers
who
were
assigned
to
protect
Earth
from
evil.
The
show
made
its
TV
premiere
on
Fox
in
1993
and
went
on
to
become
a
cultural
sensation.
Frank’s
Tommy
Oliver
was
first
portrayed
as
a
villain
in
the
first
season
after
being
brainwashed
by
the
wicked
Rita
Repulsa.
But
soon
after,
he
was
accepted
into
the
team
as
the
Green
Ranger
and
rose
to
prominence
as
one
of
the
show’s
most
loved
characters.
Frank
is
survived
by
four
children,
three
from
his
first
wedding
with
Shawna
Frank
and
one
from
his
marriage
with
Tammie
Frank.
May
his
soul
rest
in
peace.
