  • On October 30th, 2022 at Big Texas Comic Con I had a one on one sit down conversation with Martial Artist, Actor, Entrepreneur, Prankster, Jason David Frank best known for his character the Green Ranger in The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on Fox Kids broadcast.
    Sadly, JDF is no longer with us. He will be missed and always loved. Without knowing the character Tommy Oliver was one of my first characters I was a fan of. Growing up with not much to do I would binge watch Fox Kids after school. I believe a lot of my up bringing had to do with shows like Batman, X-men, The Tick, Eek! The Cat, etc… had a lot to do with my love for comic conventions, movies, and comic books.
    This video was so hard to edit and get finished, after a few conversation with friends and how I should release this interview. I finally decided to just share here on TH-cam so fans may see their hero one last time. We had a serious talk about Mental Health and how he deals with it.
    By the end of our conversation, I had left leveled up, like the Green Ranger himself reenergized me so I could go back out there and help spread the good word. Then on that Sunday morning of November 20th, I hear that JDF is no longer with us. I was heartbroken. Every time I was ready to edit this video I would get sad and just shut my laptop and focus on something else.
    It wasn’t till a few friends that truly asked me to please get this interview out so people can see JDF again. Thanks to those conversations I was able to get this video finished.
    Side Note: I am not a journalist or interviewer or some guy that works at a big tv studio network that ask the big questions. I am just a fan that was able to spend some time with one of his childhood role models and have an open discussion about a serious topic. I like to learn from people and who better than JDF himself. Thank you for taking this time to read what this interview is all about.
    Mental Health is a serious topic that should not be neglected. You can always work on yourself. It’s never too late. A conversation with a friend or stranger about your well being is ok. You are ok. I will talk to y’all later. Take care.

      @@MuhammadAli-xw4yc two seperate beings bro allah and jesus. 2timothy 2:15 tell us to wrightfully devid the word of truth. The commandments were for the nation of isreal not the gentiles. Gid knew we could not save ourselves thats why he came in the flesh, jesus christ. When he died on the cross the veil was torn. Then saul who latter became paul on the road to demasucus God himself jesus christ revealed the mystery which was kept hidden from the world in God which is ephisians 3, that we are saved by grace through faith and not of ourselves. Peter was for isreal, and paul was the gospel to the gentiles in the dispensation of grace. Things of old have gone we are now in grace, revelation is the age to come when the Antichrist reveals himself and grace ends then you will have to once again work for salvation. I see you are muslim obviously i am christian so i can only speak for my belife and what it says. Yes the bible and the 10comandments were give to moses for isreal Gods chosen people, but for us gentiles who were brought in by grace through faith in our lord jesus christ, we are not under law because jesus fullfilled the law. God bless you. Thanks for your comment. I hope this helped you understand christianity a bit better. Peace and grace to you.

    I’m still speechless and skeptical he would choose that path after being so passionate about mental health. What stands out is that anecdote at 22:10 apart from 1:05:00. Very eerie. I hope he found peace now. He made many lives so much better from the work and values he carried out in life. I’m grateful I met him at NY Comic Con not too long ago. He really left an amazing legacy. I was left in shock upon casually finding out the news in transit to Anime NYC as Johnny Y. Bosch abruptly left the convention that morning (in relation). We were gutted and so down when his passing was confirmed that morning. I don’t think I will ever understand why. JDF went too soon. He had so much more to live for!

    • @Alex_Logan22

      He needed help as much as anyone else, he found healing in helping others dealing with the same, and he wanted to normalize the discussion both in talks and in art.
      Can only imagine how Johnny felt in the middle of a convention.

      Well the difference between Sten Lee, and Jason David Frank is Stan Lee had a long life, and died at old age. I’m not sad he died. I’m happy he lived a long life. When people get at that age they get tired. Yeah it’s sad he’s no longer around, but it will happen sooner or later, and I’m happy for him, but with Jason David Frank he had many years in him, and had so much potential. So I’m more upset with Jason then I am with Stan Lee

      A lot of the time people like him will tell people the opposite of what’s in their head to try and motivate and help people. You do it to try and stop anyone else from becoming the pain and darkness that you have become. When your mind is screaming at you like a it’s in an asylum trying to escape , you don’t want anyone else to be like that. You motivate people because you can’t help yourself.

    Thank you for taking the time and effort to edit and upload this, especially in light of Jason David Frank's recent and tragic passing. JDF is so raw, so real, and so human in this interview-moreso than in any other one I've seen him give over the last 29 years. That speaks to your talents as an interviewer and as a genuine fan of his work, and where he was mentally and emotionally at that time, where he felt comfortable sharing things with the fanbase that he might not have only a few years ago. This man was a childhood hero to millions of us, and having this profound look into his head and heart at this one particular moment in time is priceless, poignant, and timely. Again, thank you. And God rest his soul.

    Listening to this interview, I tend to get the feeling that Jason David Frank was battling his own monsters within him for a long time.
    Not only him being the Green/White Ranger helped other people in their lives but I felt that maybe that was one way he was also helping to save his own life during that time too.

    Mental health is complicated. You can tell he's stressed. Something to remember the passion he has about what he's talking about is because it's important to him . Ask yourself why. Suicide is a moment in time. A choice you can't take back. Everyone wants to believe it was an explosion that caused it but what if it was a quiet moment. The thing I've taken from Jason is his strength and love for the world he wanted to leave a legacy and he did.

    JDF is one of a kind. Think about him very often. The connection he had with anyone who has had the fortune to be around him was magnetic and he resonated at a special wavelength. If you were ever at any of the conventions or the meet and greets, he transmitted such great positive energy and always was able to chat it up person to person. JDF put so much sacrifice on making himself accesible to his fans. Met him numerous times and I can sum him up in 2 words Genuine Hero. Thank you for approaching Jason and asking him for this talk.

I told him that he was my hero and inspiration and how he helped overcome difficult times during my childhood, and also as a grown up, coping with divorce and being depressed, immediately he opened up like he did with you, telling me how he dealt with these challenging moments and told me to never give up. I'm thankful for you sharing this video, because even that he is not with us anymore, anyone watching this and dealing with mental health problems, could be saved, JDF's legacy will live on, always giving back to his fans. Thanks again.

    This was an amazing, deep interview. Thank you for sharing. It was heartbreaking to hear him say that he would rather die fighting on his knees than to just give up & die. The pain we experience can be so much sometimes. Hope we all take a minute each week as busy as we are to help even in a small way like a word of encouragement to someone. Please share this interview as much as you can. It was an example of Mr. Frank at his finest offering insight, inspiration and kindness.

    Weeks later he took his life, he sounds so tired in his voice, his breathing was labored he’s literally hyperventilating at times you can tell. His blood pressure was probably through the roof…❤❤❤

    @CJRobles Thanks a lot for uploading this interview which was done just mere weeks before his untimely and tragic passing. Like yourself, I grew up watching Power Rangers including the original iteration of MMPR. Jason David Frank and Austin Saint John were two of my favorites and I idolized them. I remember dressing back in the 90s as a little boy as the White Power Ranger for Halloween. He had so much to live for, had a charmed life, and was a veritable inspiration. He was a classy and decent person who strived to make other people's lives better. I still haven't come to terms with his death. I wish I could have been there for him last month on 11/19/22 and done something to save his life in his time of despair, despondency, anxiety, and suffering. I think if he had one good friend with him on that day to give him support he would still be with us today. I hope that both Jason David Frank and Thuy Trang are in a much better place🙏🙏. It's sad how the most honorable people leave this world far too soon. I still can't believe what transpired just a month ago.

    CJ, I want to say thank you for sharing this video on TH-cam for everyone to enjoy, and to listen about the mental health issues that JDF was going through. I was not able to watch your entire interview, but I know that I will someday, but I am glad that the topic of "mental health" has been brought up by him, and by so many other people on social media and online as a whole about how important our mental health is. We need to continue to spread awareness of mental health to lots of other people that we might come across in our journeys. I know that at times it is difficult for me to talk about my mental health issues as well, but it is not a problem to me anymore. What I find difficult is being able to help someone who is in need of help. Yes, the only thing that we can do is talk to them, but if they are going through some sort of crisis in their life, and they live so far away, it can be difficult to contact them and talk about what their issues are. I think that we all need to be more aware of people's struggles, and if we see someone who might be dealing with mental health issues, even from TH-cam videos, we need to reach out to them and ask if they are doing okay, and ask if there is anything that we can do for them.

    I feel like finally Jason took his mask off and if you can tell you can see the thinking already is going towards suicide and what not...like it eerily adds up. But on the POSITIVE end Jason gave the i dont care bout being the tough guy. He was him without the mask. i think he was seemingy rather lonely its funny people can be lonely and be surrounded by thousands and i feel us fans were there for him. He as us sees us fans as his second or immediate family. It was a special connection with JDF in my eyes. He was " one of us" and i feel this was a cry for help from him. He seemed to want to talk philosophical..to be REAL. not just chit chhat or acting but like when you hsve a beerwith someone RIP Jason David Frank as Zordon once said your a very honorable and coregeous man green ranger. RIP Buddy.

    This was definitely a great video, my little story on how I got to see him perform live was when the movie came out and McDonald's was doing their promotional stuff with the toys and also how we can meet the White Ranger. Jason did his kata in his movie White Ranger suit and everything, I wasn't sure of the season. Still I remember being on my dad's shoulders to get a better view, the only and single time I would have gotten his autograph. I seriously wished that I could have had the honor to meet him at a con, and during these past few months I miss him just as much. He was like the older brother that I never had, his love for his fans is just like Vic's passion. Oh, how I wish he was still here now.

    CJ, this interview you conducted was an overwhelming combination of heartbreaking yet inspiring. Heartbreaking because Jason David Frank's passing is beyond unfair and cruel! I did not want to believe it at first because I thought it was a hoax and that my hardened skepticism overruled my better judgment. However, as more legitimate sources flourished, I was upset, saddened, shocked, and morose. Inspiring because it was through Jason David Frank that I learned to appreciate Tommy's journey as a Power Ranger on a more profound level. Furthermore, it is through martial artists like Jason David Frank that I found beauty, strength, courage, and determination in the martial arts.

    "Dedicated to Jason David Frank and everyone who is and has battled with mental health and the darkness of this world"
    In darkness we dwell and seether in pain
    We didn’t create this hell, but it’s where we remain
    Following a light that shines through these depths
    Hoping salvation is the prize that we get
    For every victory we achieve, add two more loses to the books
    It’s almost as if relief is just bait that’s on a hook
    A vacation from pain is a ticket to addiction
    We must learn to deal with this burden or live our lives in a fiction
    The lies we tell ourselves to get through the day
    May just be the bullet that takes one of us away
    An honest assessment is where we all must start
    Pay no attention to the voices in your head; you must listen to your heart
    You can make it out, there is always a way
    But for those that have lost their battle, there is one thing that I must say
    I understand your pain, and I feel your despair
    Rest easy brave soldier, God has you, and he was always there
