Sad day for Power Rangers fans.

Oh no!

Who else will unite the world in peace through means of sheer terror?

He's now riding big Serpentera in the sky, unable to realize his dream of benevolent global domination.

Seriously though, his iconic Lord Zedd character was the epitome of baddie coolness, always making his minions to do the dirty work for him, like a true top-class villian. You have to admit it's sweet that POWER RANGERS never talked down to children or treated them as stupid, believing they could handle the raw aggression Zedd brought to the series.

SABAN and TOEI, the Ranger creators, should do something to commemorate the actor if they already haven't done so. Who knows, maybe HASBRO, the current handler of the franchise, can make a future TV episode as a personal tribute in his honor.

Thanks for sharing. Wow! He was something I enjoyed watching on VHS tapes during my childhood.
