No. When he lands on the floor he stands straight up and u can tell by his fist that it's Hiroshi Maeda. Well I could... I guess that's what watching him on PR from 1994-2002 got me memorizing his body language.
 
Seiji Takaiwa and Mark Musashi, of course. Those are the only two I've ever really paid attention to.

If Den-O was any indication, Seiji Takaiwa is really versatile at portraying even the oddest of characters, and all the major stunt work he's done in shows up to this point speaks for itself.

Mark Musashi is just as awesome in-suit as he is out. Most people who talk about Garo just see him as Kodama and completely overlook the fact that he was also Zero's suit actor, not to mention all his stunts in Kamen Rider THE FIRST were just plain epic! :buttrock:

3) Seiji Takaiwa: for Agito, Doras, Kabuto
4) Jiro Okamoto: for Kamen Rider Black, ZO, Hakaider
5) Danny Lee: for Inframan
 
Since I've only been in this fandom for almost a year now, I don't really know that much about the suit actors :sweat:

But yeah, they're just as important as the actors in the show, since they are the ones who are in those awesome costumes.

and I also gotta add Hiroshi Maeda in here. He did the suit acting for Tyrannoranger and then MMPR Red Ranger all the way to PRWF Red Lion Ranger.

Really? As in the actual American footage for PR? That's pretty cool.

As far as I know the original Red Warrior suit actor (#2 on my list) retired after Jetman and became the action director for Zyuranger. Hiroshi Maeda did the Tyrannoranger suit acting for that series in 1992, then after MMPR got big in North America I believe he came over to continue as Red Ranger for Power Rangers from Season 2 which includes both American Footage and Zyuranger footage, AND Zyu2 Footage. I think it was after Disney bought PR and moved shooting to New Zealand that a new Red suit actor took over.
