Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted November 12, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 12, 2022 It was missed a day or two back, but the legend that is Leslie Phillips died a few days back. A staple of a certain era of English film and TV. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted November 12, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Well, I assume I was pissed. No other excuse other than idiocy, and my posting history doesn't suggest that.  Well.  OK. Yeah.  Worst thing is, I fucking checked before I posted. ? Edited November 12, 2022 by ReturnOfTheMack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Shit, wasn't he still in the more current shows too? Seemed to be the one guy who really hung on to the Power Ranger fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised no one has confirmed it as a hoax though if it is.. Sadly confirmed now. Â Â Edited November 20, 2022 by DavidB6937 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted November 20, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 20, 2022 He was ostensibly the face of Power Rangers. He appeared in I think 7 different PR series as 5 different rangers. He was also the lead in the original pilot of VR Troopers when it was called Cybertron. He'd been fighting in MMA, and kept challenging CM Punk to a match, which had potential to be quite a draw, even if it hadn't necessarily been the greatest of fights. It's a heck of a loss to the PR fans, and the show. I would imagine there'll be some kind of tribute in the next series, and Johnny Yong Bosch will probably become their go-to guy given Austin St John's recent legal troubles. Unless they want to reach out to David Yost, AJJ or Walter Jones. If anything was impetus to start making my way through the show again it's this. Power Rangers was a huge part of my misspent youth. I was shocked to see the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked to see the news. David, Walter and Johnny are all coming back for a 30th anniversary special on Netflix next year along with Steve Cardenas, Karan Ashley and Catherine Sutherland, unfortunately (for legal reasons) Austin St John won’t be nor Amy but they’ll be honoring Thuy Trang by having a young actress play Trini’s daughter. JDF had only recently announced he was retiring from the franchise for reasons unknown but he’d been going through a divorce lately amid cheating allegations and sadly it sounds like that played a big part in his death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
