That cape power ranger save is so iconic how was that the first time literally I think at the time it felt like oh my god i am going to wear pink spandex on national television. In what position I put myself in, do you still have the power rangers news and media? You know, I have got this stick up for politics and appointment. We you represented girl power and the nineties that is going to be an incredible part of your legacy for now. I did not understand what Kimberly represented and talk about recently and so Kimberly was not Amy Jo, but it is really cool that I played a character that inspired so many girls in such a way it is probably the biggest blessing honestly in my life and to have a lovely little memento of you.
In your hand, I split it. The fidget toy, mine, and the pink ranger, I get a lot of power. Your gifts I. People gave me their toys when they were kids that no one knew. What longevity the show and the impact it will have on so many kids. When I go to conventions and I mean people who grew up on Power Rangers, I literally feel like a babysitter to a lot of kids. Because they felt like we were the same, we were friends with a lot of kids. People who are bullied in school, people who are going through a parent, getting divorced or whatever, I think we mean a lot to these kids because we were there, we were constantly in their everyday lives.
You look at me Jose Oh G Power Ranger icon status by the more transformed time numbers. One hundred thirty-eight episodes three movies, fifty-seven conventions and comic books she says she actually only made seven hundred dollars per episode in the nineties. Something else you may not know, and I was my first acting gig and that was literally my first job and ninety that I think they are an extra free from September nine I chase a guy. Cross-country And moved to Los Angeles. I was there for about six months, and I was done. I was ready to go home. Met the acting coach who has really been my mentor and acting coach for a very long time. He convinced me to stay.
Not out two weeks later, I auditioned for Power Rangers, and I got in my first audition. I was a gymnast. I think that was really the thing that got me the role because I could flip. Gymnasts could or if you were not flipping as a kid wearing a helmet, and you know that now they know, but it was spandex, i will tell you when we went to film in Australia and the suits were Probably seventy pounds and different. We all really missed our spandex. Can I just say that we did our own stunts wearing the helmets and at home me and David Yost who played Billy felt that it was very hard to breathe there were three holes to breathe, and I guess we could not do it, and then we had stunted doubles but everything that we did when we were civilians?
When talking about how often the Power Rangers family stays in touch, You keep in touch with David Yost. Because he is like a family to me, we talk a lot. My daughter, you know, she is like Uncle Most. We are very close, and then I talk to Walter. I see Johnny Yong Bosch, and I see him at conventions. Then I was very close to JTF. We were very close, and I am really close with his daughter, Jenna. The little tight-knit circle has faced many tragedies. Jason david frank who played the green power ranger and Amy José love interest took his own life in 2022 so the original yellow power ranger could be killed in two thousand and one booth died in a car accident is honored in powerful.
