Let’s be honest, back in the ’90s, Mighty Morphin’s Power Rangers was the biggest kids series to hit the television.
It was favorite of many kids considering it was mixed of action, humour and lots of rubber monsters making the show as one of the finest pieces of pop culture history.
Like come on, who doesn’t know the names of all five original Rangers or the catchphrase ” it’s morphin’ time”
And everyone had their favorite Ranger which they usually identified the most!

But do you every wonder what even happened to the stars in the cast of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?
Where are they now and did any of them make it big or was their fame alive only till Power Rangers.
For so many years, most of those actors were hard to track down but thanks to the elite power of social media and comic conventions; fans know what exactly they are up to!

The first return was in Power Rangers Zeo to take over the mantle of the Gold Ranger and then in Power Rangers Wild Force, for the 10th anniversary special, “Forever Red.”
John served as an EMT but has recently been working the convention circuit and meeting fans all over the world.
