He was the green Power Ranger and became the star of a huge fan base with his role as Tommy Oliver. Now Jason David Frank has passed away. That reports the American celebrity magazine “TMZ”, citing Frank’s manager Justine Hunt. The actor was only 49 years old.
According to Hunt, the actor died in the US state of Texas. TMZ also writes that it is a suicide, according to direct sources. “Please respect the privacy of his family and friends at this terrible time as we deal with the loss of such a wonderful person,” his manager asked, adding: “He loved his family, friends and fans very much . He will be truly missed.”
His breakthrough
In this country, Jason David Frank will be best known to fans of the series “Power Rangers”. This ran in the mid-1990s in three seasons and more than 145 episodes on RTL and was discontinued in 1996. As Tommy Oliver, Frank impersonated the green hero and was a central part of the plot in the stories.
But during the “Power Rangers” series, in which Frank, like all his companions, was masked from head to toe, he occasionally switched colors. Even as a white ranger, he showed off his kung fu skills on screen. A skill that he not only acted on. The native Californian also devoted himself to martial arts in real life. Jason David Frank was a professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter.
Now Frank not only leaves behind countless fans around the world, his family and friends – his four children are also mourning the ‘Power Rangers’ star. He is survived by three children from his first marriage, sons Hunter and Jacob and daughter Skye. He also had a daughter, Jenna, with his second wife.
