Funny happening

Blazing Fire · 04-22-2008, 02:31 PM

Saturday my husband and I went to a club that he frequents. While there, on of his friends was able to convice one person that we hadn't seen since the 90's.

Now I'm very careful about who I tell that I like Power Rangers. I'm 34 years old and some people don't understand.

At one point he walked up to me and asked me how much I knew about PR. I told him that I was a geek and there wasn't much I didn't know.

He had gone to California at one point and was asked to try out for new kids' show. He then told me that he was orginally offered to role, but turned it down. He's a martial arts coordinator (and I believe him) I do know that he has been doing this for over 25 years. I also know that he taught kick boxing to women at one time.

It was funny because he was asking me what my favorite season was and what I thought of the new season. It was fun talking to him.

Like I said I really don't think he was lying because he's not that kind of person.

Bet he is wishing he didn't turn it down lol. But that is cool that you actually know someone who might have been a power ranger given he would have taken the role.

At first I wasn't sure if I believed him, but he is not the kind of person to lie about this.

It would have been interested to see him if he had gotten the role. But I might not have known him then. He's a really cool guy to know.

That's pretty awesome. It's too bad he didn't. Did he mention why he turned the offer down?

That's a pretty cool bit of news there, Blazing Fire. I'm not sure who would turn down a role like that, but then typecasting could occur and no actor wants that. :P Still, that's interesting to know.

Blazing Tiger · 04-22-2008, 06:20 PM

I would think he would be seen as a typecast like Rob said. But why did he turn it down? Did he say?

That's pretty cool Blazing Fire...

I think it had something to do with his schedule. I do know that at that time he was training several lady champions in kick boxing. So I don't think he had the time.

It's not that he didn't want to do it, it was just a matter of scheduling.

Dark Huntress · 04-23-2008, 09:33 AM

Well, training champions is probably more rewarding that being in a show.

I had an opportunity to try out for something last fall, but I chose to do something else that day instead. Schedules stink sometimes, lol.

Schedules get in a way of a lot of stuff. But hey at least he wasn't worried about typecasting.
