Dread Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 You know, my experience with Power Rangers stems from a teenage fascination with the Pink Ranger and occasionally walking by the TV when my kids watched later iterations a couple months back. I've always thought the show was really stupid. But damned if this wasn't one of the best celebrity panels I've ever heard. Seems like a really cool guy. Handled the whole "have you thought about doing THIS with a Green Ranger story?" questions like a pro. That is, not saying "no fuckwad, I have no power over what they do with the characters."

dc20willsave Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I've heard the occasional story saying he was full of himself so I was going in expecting JDF to go on about how awesome he was etc. I was pleasantly surprised to find he was fun and had a good sense of humor.

Dread Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Well, he was a little full of himself, but you don't get ahead in a creative field without thinking you're better at it than other people. He wasn't a dick about it though, and was very gracious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Pretty much every PR actor falls into either "really gracious about it" (Johnny Yong Bosch/Adam, Walter Jones/Zack), "is somewhat ashamed of having been in it" (Amy Jo Johnson/Kimberly), or "outgrew it because they felt like they were too badass" (possibly Austin St. John/Jason, a ton of others). JDF was known for a while as being in that last group, but he apparently came around at some point. (He grew up, learned some humility, became a teacher, etc.) If I had the money I'd be at Dallas Comic-Con to see him this weekend, but hopefully he'll be around next year.

Molly Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I know, I'm about two weeks behind here, but this panel was an utter blast. It was super cool to see one of my childhood heroes wasn't a total dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
