It is time for the truth.
The powerful “Morphine Power Rangers” president, Tony Oliver, admitted that it was wrong to meet a black actor in the role of the Black Force Guard and the Asian actor as the Yellow Force Guard.
“none of us [were] Oliver participated in the new “Hollywood Demons” investigation series.
Walter Emmanuel Jones, a black man, photographed “Zach Taylor” as the black goalkeeper and a Trag, an Asian woman, as a yellow goalkeeper “Trini Kwan” in the series that Amy responded for two seasons in the nineties.
Oliver claimed that he did not connect the points around the stereotypes until his assistant indicated at one day a meeting. “
“This was a mistake,” Oliver said.
Jones publicly joking about the attempt about the casting decision.
“My name is Walter Jones. I play Zack. I am black, and I am playing Black Ranger – GO,” Jones said in an old video clip of the group that appeared in the discovery of the investigation.
On Wednesday, Jones opposed the acceptance of Oliver, describing the role of a “milestone” and “honor”.
Jones said: “I understand that the motivation to address what can be considered a cultural lack of sensitivity, but described it as a” mistake “that would reject the effect that had countless people around the world who found inspiration and acting in the first black superhero on TV – Morphine” in the Black Authority. “
“It was not a mistake; it was a milestone. It was an honor.”
Jones said he “did not disturb” being the black guard during his time in the show.
“I was happy with that when I saw the lawsuit for the first time,” Jones said at The Toon'd with Jim Cummsings Podcast, which was released last month.
“I might look cold in red. I know I don't look cold in blue because I saw him. Black is what I wanted to wear. When I saw him, I said,” I want this one “and they said,” This is yours. “
Trang was not initially the first option for Yellow Ranger.
Audrey Dubua, a fifth -class black belt with a varied ethnic background that included roots of Spanish and Asian origin, was photographed in the experimental episode, but he could not join the show due to a wage dispute.
According to the investigation discovery episode, the original show had a non -union group with representatives such as Austin Saint John, David Youst, and Dubua, who were relatively inexperienced for television.
According to what was reported by the representatives, the actors paid about $ 750 per episode half an hour, although the expected customers in the other TV shows were making tens of thousands of dollars in each episode.
Dubua tried to negotiate for more money for each episode “so that I can earn a living” in Los Angeles, but those efforts failed and could not continue.
He opened this door to Trang to join the series and was edited in scenes from the pilot, which Dubios played initially.
Jones left the series in the middle of the season due to contractual conflicts and payment.
