Jason David Frank died three years ago today. Perhaps best known for his work on Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, JDF was highly skilled in martial arts. He even developed his own form of karate. Tragically, he committed suicide at a young age.
I had the pleasure of interviewing him at a press session for Wizard World (now Fan Expo). He was generous with his time, thoughtful with his answers and generally a great guy. That interview is at On the Beat with Jason David Frank. He was even kind enough to do a promo for this site, which is in the left column.
Showing more class, when I ran into him at the actual convention, he greeted me happily and thanked me for a good interview. That was unexpected, but much appreciated. Although I wasn't a huge fan of the Power Rangers, I am glad I got to meet him and to have a couple extra nice encounters with him.

He was one of a kind. Such a tragedy.
Agreed. I had such fun during and after interviews with him.
