A Look at Red #4

All hail to the Pirate King! Tommy is a record holder to beat all record holders in the Power Ranger Universe.

Character: Tommy Oliver
Actor: Jason David Frank
Ranger: (cracks knuckles) Green Dragon Dino, White Tiger Thunder, White Falcon Ninja (& Ninjetti), Red Zeo #5, Red Lightning Turbo, and last but probably not the final, Black Brachiosaurus Dino Thunder Rangers.

Seeing as how you'd probably need a whole blog just to talk about Jason's character I'll just talk about Red. Tommy had a slight advantage, ok a large advantage over other Red Rangers in that he'd already been the leader of the Team before donning the imposing color. He pretty much let the team do it's own thing and if anyone asked who the leader was they'd all point to him unanimously so that he'd be the one to land on his but after being beat up by a girl.

So essentially, Tommy's role was to look pretty, have someone else think of something, and be on the spot marked X where his teammates need him to be. Whether it's coming to the rescue or to be the damsel... er hero in distress.
