Character descriptions and the actors and actresses playing them!

MIA (PINK RANGER)
Played by: Erika Fong
Bio 1 (from casting scripts)
She is confident, intuitive, and sensitive. MIA was raised by her grandmother, away from her parents. Her toughness and desire to help others is a cover for the pain she felt during her childhood separation from her mother. She is the mother/big sister of the Rangers. MIA's dream is to become a wife and mother and lead a normal life. However, due to her upbringing, her image of that "normal" life is childish and disconnected from reality.

Bio 2 (from nick.com)
Mia is a confident, sensitive big sister to the Power Rangers. She is so eager to give that sometimes her own needs get overlooked. She considers herself to be a great cook, but you'd have a hard time finding another Ranger who agreed. One thing they can agree on is that Mia is a crucial part of their monster-fighting family.

EMILY(YELLOW RANGER)
Played by: Brittany Pirtle (facebook) (Twitter)
Bio 1 (from casting scripts)
EMILY is the youngest Ranger and is loved and cared for by all. She is innocent, sweet, and gentle, but also very strong when needed. She was raised in the country and comes to the city for the first time when she joins the Rangers. Her older sister was supposed to be the Yellow Ranger, but when she fell ill, EMILY had to take her place. During her early childhood, she always relied on her sister, who would play the flute to console young EMILY. After her illness, the roles were reversed and it became EMILY who played the flute to console her weak older sister. She constantly is plagued by the feeling that she will not live up to what her sister might have been as a Ranger.

Bio 2 (from nick.com)
Emily is a sweet, innocent country girl who was never supposed to be a Power Ranger. It was her sister who was destined for the squad, but an illness forced Emily to take her place. Although she is a bit of a fish out of water, the passion of the team and the bustle of the city inspires Emily to train hard and make her sister proud

MIKE (GREEN RANGER)
Played by: Hector David Jr (Facebook 1) (Facebook 2) (Twitter)
Bio 1 (from casting scripts)
MIKE is the Green Ranger. He is creative, rebellious, irreverent, and
lazy; but never afraid to think outside the box. He lost his mother at an
early age and grew up mostly with his father, who was more of a big
brother and friend than a role model. When he first joins the other
Rangers, he realizes that his upbringing did not properly prepare him to
be a warrior. He is also a high school dropout.
MIKE is very creative in battle and despite a relaxed and care free
attitude, he longs to be the best fighter he can be, even hoping to, one-
day surpass, JAYDEN. He knows there is much hard work ahead of him and does
not give up.

Bio 2 (from nick.com)
Mike isn't a troublemaker, but he is a bit of a rebel. He loves video games and hanging out with his friends. And although he is a very talented Ranger, this free spirit's wild, goofy sense of humor doesn't always line up with the ways of the Samurai. But this shouldn't stop him from giving his all to every battle

KEVIN (BLUE RANGER)
Played by: Najee De-Tiege (Facebook 1) (Facebook 2)
Bio 1 (from casting scripts)
KEVIN's element is water. He is well educated and a great swordsman. He is extremely disciplined and lives by the book. He is confident, not afraid to take charge if needed. By becoming a Power Ranger, he is putting on hold a career as a performer. He often misses it but knows that saving the world and fighting evil must be his priority. He is also a bit of a mama's boy, although he would never admit it.

Bio 2 (from nick.com)
Kevin is a disciplined master swordsman and a professional swimmer. His strict but wise father trained him from birth in the ways of the Samurai. He's often the cause of comic relief in the group, but when it comes time to get a job done, you want this warrior on your team.

JAYDEN (RED RANGER)
Played by: Alex Heartman
Bio 1 (from casting scripts)
JAYDEN is the leader of the Power Rangers. His element is fire. He is of
few words, but when he speaks, means what he says. He lost his parents
when he was young and was raised by a mentor. He is an excellent warrior
and the fight against evil is his sole focus. He has spent most of his
life isolated from society.
He often remembers his father's advice to never give up, to carry on the
family name no matter what. He lives by this promise and does everything
he can to protect his family name and fulfill his duty to fight evil and
protect the world.

Bio 2 (from nick.com)
Like his zord, the lion, Jayden is a ferocious leader. He is a man of few words, but when he speaks, every breath counts. He is kind and caring but knows how to be firm when the time comes. He also has a secret that he must keep from all the other Rangers.

WESLEY (GOLD RANGER)
Played by: Steven Skyler (Facebook)
Bio 1 (from casting scripts)
Unlike the others, WESLEY did not receive any formal training and mastered his fighting skills on his own. He is a childhood friend of the Red Ranger. By day, he operates a sushi stand and although he has moderate success, his real dream is to open a full-on sushi restaurant. He also is a programmer and is constantly developing new weapons for the Rangers. His element is light and he is the most outgoing and positive of the group. Unashamed of his humble origins, he is honored and grateful to fight as a Power Ranger. He is an excellent fighter and total team player.

Although it's kinda close to the premier, when we will start making new episodic discussion threads, Keith has mandated that mega threads be closed and the Power RAngers Samurai thread was the biggest mother fucker of them all.

So enjoy a new topic with condensed info.

Old topic has been archived.
