Mighty Morphin' Voice Actors - Did You Know Voice Acting? extra (feat. Kirbopher)

Did you know that the voices behind the evil space aliens and monsters-of-the-week in the Power Rangers franchise are all played by classic Anime voice actors? In fact, you've probably continued to hear their work in shows airing on TV even today! Plus, big actors you'd never expect to hear like Alex Borstein from Family Guy and Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad can be heard in some episodes early on in their acting careers! As fate would have it, many of these actors are also heard in an anime franchise made by the same creator of Power Rangers, Cyborg 009! Get morphinominal and be amazed at the trivia within!

Bob Papenbrook's son, Bryce Papenbrook, played Eren Jaeger in Attack on Titan.

[@Megatron-101]

Bob Papenbrook appeared in a episode of Power Rangers Wildforce as a store employee 1:19

[@TheBlur009er]

How was Johnny Yong Bosch not mentioned in this? He went on to do a lot of voices from Gundam to even Cyborg 009 as Joe!

[@ForrestFox626]

That feels like a crime

[@TheOneTrueOtaku1]

Please never stop doing these videos, they’re so fascinating.

I'd love to see a Did You Know Voice Acting for Sailor Moon.

[@givemeasniff788]

I think it's kind of weird that Japan has their own dubbed version of Power Rangers like won't they get confused by the two shows?

[@HELLBENTSOUL]

Also, Catherine Sutherland (Katherine Hillard, Pink Mighty Morphin, Zeo, and Turbo Ranger) and Walter Jones (Black Mighty Morphin Ranger) voiced monsters outside of their respective Power Rangers series. Most notably in the Forever Red episode of Wild Force.

​@@Kirbopher15can you do another video about Power Rangers

[@cameronmelvin3889]

While I’m not very much a Power Rangers fan, I can say that it’s always interesting to learn something new.

[@Peniche5]

You know what would be a good video? A video explaining how the original voice of Naoto from Persona 4 was a mystery surrounding the character that went on for a full decade until it was finally revealed.

[@samflood5631]

Right before Alex Borstein voiced Lois, who was the mother of a dysfunctional family in Family Guy, she voiced Queen Machina, the mother of a dysfunctional royal family of robots in Zeo. If you think the Griffins are messed up, wait to you see the family drama the Machine Empire has to go through. It all started when Prince Gasket, heir to the Machine Empire married Archerina, the daughter of King Mondo’s rival. This caused Gasket’s father to disown him and his wife and Prince Sprocket was built as a replacement. But when Prince Gasket and Princess Archerina came crawling back to King Mondo when the Zeo Rangers were defeating their forces, Prince Sprocket felt that he lost his title as heir to the throne so he spends the half of the series trying to kill his older brother while Mondo, Gasket and Archerina argue and fight.

[@nebzshady9389]

Bryan Cranston was also Fei Long in the Street Fighter 2 anime movie

[@Morgil27]

Speaking of Mr. Ishinomori at the end there, did you know he's the one who made the Legend of Zelda comic from Nintendo Power? I always found it amusing how that technically links the Zelda and Power Rangers franchises.

[@AndrewChapman]

Wish someone could dive more into the voice actors of Jason, Trini and Zack after Austin, Thuy and Walter left during Season 2. I know Paul F. Rosenthal, who was associate producer during that time, is believed to have been Jason's voice double. Joel Rogers, who played Zack's cousin Curtis did Zack's voice. And someone named Judy (full name unknown) did Trini's voice. Just curious to see photos or footage of these people to see what they look like compared to the actors they stood in for. Mostly Rosenthal and Judy as we obviously see Rogers as Curtis.

[@BmanTheChamp]

Oh shit, that's the music from the MMPR the Movie game for Sega Genesis. Man, that takes me back.

[@ShaunInce123]

Bryan Cranston in Power Rangers was one of the coolest things I found out a few years back.

[@KudoTsurugi]

Awesome video, and I loved hearing that 009 trivia at the end. To add to it a little, the role of 009 has been shared by the leads of the Pioneer dub of AKIRA. Joshua Seth(Tetsuo) played the part in the 2001 animated series, while Johnny Yong Bosch(Kaneda) played the part in the VS Devilman OVA.

[@Truegear]

Funny little tidbit about Super Legends' french dub: Goldar is voiced by the guy who usually voices Jack Black.

[@user-do4gi7ye9j]

こうやって世界にスーパー戦隊が広がっていくのは嬉しい。

[@RhyperiorRanger]

Johnny Yong Bosch was in 009 vs devilman but you didn’t mention him? Shit he deserves his own episode to be honest.

[@mrleakonelmstr]

Woooow i did not Richard horvitz played alpha 😱 or that Alex borstein did voice acting for the show also

[@fpberserk4690]

So that Cyborg 009 tangent mentions Cristina Vee but doesn't circle back to her Power Rangers connections?

[@laughingmask3118]

IKR I was like expecting him to segway into SOMETHING on-topic???

[@RhyperiorRanger]

Yes I did know because I love Power Rangers and voice actors. Which is why my favorite ranger is of course the first man who did both: Johnny Yong Bosch

[@dcb99filmz]

Dan Southworth and Patricia Ja Lee would follow. Super Sentai has a VA who used to be a ranger as well, Yuji Kishi

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

What, no mention of the fact that the Gold Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo, Brad Hawkins, is now the dub voice of the titular Goblin Slayer in the 2018 anime?

[@jamiewilliamson9829]

That off-topic trivia can also lead back into Power Rangers as Christina Vee is the black HyperForce Ranger from that non-canon official RPG series, Power Rangers HyperForce. In which also stars the actor who plays Bulk as the Yellow ranger. This is off topic for this series on KZbin, but I thought it'll be nice to share.

[@cmndrkool321]

I meet David Fielding (Voice of Zordon) at JAFAX anime convention at Grand Valley State University about 6-7 years ago. He's a cool guy!

[@David315842]

You used a picture of Alpha 6 instead of 5 there Chris. Other then that great job. :) Though a pity that Simon Prescott wasn't finally credited to being the first voice for Master Vile in MMPR. Maybe one day?

[@asherzerbib3461]

Prescott voiced Master Vile? I'll have to recheck that. You sure? Tom and Prescott have similar range.

[@asherzerbib3461]

@Steven Wade Really? Looking back on it, I'm surprised I didn't realize it sooner. I always said after seeing Master Vile that he sounded like Dr. Gilmore from Cyborg 009 but my friend didn't believe me. Another thought it was Michael Reynolds, but I knew it wasn't since it wasn't gravelly enough.

[@David315842]

@@asherzerbib3461 Oh it's him for sure. It was a very common mistake to get him confused with Tom Wyner, but it is Simon Prescott. Listen to Vile's voice in MMPR episodes like "Master Vile and the Metallic Armour", "The Song of Dischordia" "Rangers in Reverse" and the two parter "Alien Rangers of Aquatar" and then compare it with some of Prescott's other roles like Captain Synapse from Gundam 0083, Meitzer Ronah in Gundam F91 and even King Louis XIII in the 2nd season of Dogtanian and you can tell it's he's voice, just sounding more gravely and evil if that makes any sense.

[@asherzerbib3461]

@@David315842 Now that you mention it, I do hear a bit of Ryuken from Fist of the North Star and Yamagata from Rurouni Kenshin from Vile. Guess I stand corrected.

[@David315842]

@@asherzerbib3461 See what I mean. The more you hear it, and if you're familiar with Prescott's voice then you'll start to hear it. It will be much harder convincing sites like IMDB or Wikipedia of that fact though. :(

[@lorddrayvon1426]

Funny in joke about the series. Tony Oliver was the producer and Gary Glasbury, the guy who came up with the original (adapted) concept for Tommy Oliver the Green Ranger, fought it would be a funny joke to base this soon to be iconic character off his boss for a laugh. The name stuck and then I guess Haim Saban went up to Oliver and said "hey, you're character is so successful that we can't get rid of him/ Do you want to do the voice of this random anthro sword thing the weirdos in Japan came up with whilst high?" It's just funny to me that the fictional character is named after a real life person who went on to voice his fictional weapon.

Caige Malinowski Or the fact that Catherine Sutherland, Walter Jones, Ron Rogge and James Davies’s first returns to Power Rangers came through voicing other characters. The former two in Forever Red as Machine Empire generals, Rogge as the Monster of the Week in Time For Lightspeed, and Davies just last week in Monster Mix-Up

Of course, it might interfere with the idea of selling toys to a large market, unlike Voltron (which was already well-known and positively received in the west). Then, it would be that much more important to make a halfway decent adaptation while catering to fans of the source material.
