Without a Power Ranger, this list wouldn’t qualify as an actor/martial artist list. No other actor has the martial arts badassery of Jason David Frank, who played Tommy Oliver on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The cast of the program has fluctuated throughout the years, and some of them had actual martial arts training before being cast. Jason started learning martial arts at a young age, and by the time he was 18, he had earned a black belt and was instructing younger students. Jason is now studying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and holds a 7th degree black belt in Shotokan karate.
