Been waiting for a blog I read to do a "Where are they now?" on the Power Rangers, but then decided not to be lazy and do one on my own. I really only watched up to when they became ninja power rangers, so I'll try to do the original power rangers, the first red, black and yellow replacements, and the first pink replacement.
Red Ranger #1 - Austin St. John
Jason Lee Scott. Apparently he also played the second gold ranger. Interestingly, he was actually born with the name Jason. Pretty much his entire acting career consisted of the power ranger series, and according to wikipedia, he is now working as a paramedic. He also did a crime show called Footsteps, and wrote a book on martial arts.
Yellow Ranger #1 - Thuy Trang
Trini Kwan. She was in the movie Spy Hard and The Crow: City of Angels. Sadly, she passed away in 2001, in a car accident.
Black Ranger #1 - Walter Jones
Zack Taylor. Had various one-offs in TV series. Played Michael Hammon in Malibu Shores for 10 episodes. Played Harlan Band in Space Cases for 27 episodes. Did some voice work for various villains in the power rangers series after he left. He voiced characters in the Rockstar game Red Dead Redemption. Most recently, he has been working on the movies Man Without a Head and Speed Demons.
Pink Ranger #1 - Amy Jo Johnson
Kimberly Ann Hart. Had various TV one-offs. Even though she requested her character be written off in the power rangers series, she returned for the Turbo Power Rangers Movie. Spent a while in the TV show Felicity as Julie Emrick from 1998-2002. Was in The Division in 2004 for 22 episodes. She is currently in the Canadian TV series Flashpoint.
Blue Ranger - David Yost
Bill Craston. Produced various films and was in the movie Ladykillers, and just completed a movie: Degenerate.
Green/White Ranger - Jason David Frank
Tommy Oliver. He was the longest lasting ranger, staying in the series for 6 years. Didn't do much else in his acting career, and it seems he's more into his martial arts than acting. He will be making his fighting debut in the light-heavyweight division in August, 2010.
Bulk - Paul Schrier
Farkus Bulkmeier. He was a fan club president in an episode of Mega64. He did some directing, including 16 episodes of the Hello Kitty animated series. He is also a comic book artist.
Skull - Jason Narvy
Eugene Skullovitch. Was in action movie Wicked Game. He received a Bachelor of Liberal Arts. He is currently a PhD student, studying dramatic arts.
Ernie - Richard Genelle
Ernie. Left the power rangers due to weight and health problems. Sadly, passed away in 2008 due to a heart attack.
Red Ranger #2 - Steve Cardenas
Rocky DeSantos. He is a third-degree black belt and is currently operating a karate school in Southern California.
Yellow Ranger #2 - Karan Ashley
Aisha Campbell. Various TV one-offs, but co-wrote and produced Devon's Ghost: Legend of the Bloody Boy.
Black Ranger #2 - Johnny Yong Bosch
Adam Park. He does various voices for anime and game characters, including the English voice for Vash the Stampede in Trigun. His list is quite amazing, even I've heard of the anime that he has done voices for - Akira, Naruto Shippuden, Bleach, Samurai Champloo, Code Geass, Lucky Star, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Full Metal Alchemist, as well as the games he has done - Tales of Symphona: Dawn of the New World, Shin Megami Tensei, Dissidia, Devil May Cry 4, Eternal Sonata, .hack// series... check out the IMDB list, it's impressive! He is also part of a band called Eyeshine which is apparently named after something Steve Irwin said in an episode of Crocodile Hunter - that he could see crocodiles because of their eyeshine from his lantern.
Pink Ranger #2 - Catherine Sutherland
Katherine Hillard. She was in the movie The Cell, although in the movie she only appears as a dead body - her scenes were cut from the movie, but can be seen in the DVD release. She is now a personal fitness trainer.
