Los Angeles, CA -- Once a Power Ranger, always a Power Ranger.

That's how it has worked for actor Jason David Frank, who has been a Ranger on the series since it first began in 1993.

It's an experience that has colored his life: He's been a green Power Ranger, a red Power Ranger and will be playing a black Power Ranger on the newest version, "Power Rangers DinoThunder."

This time around, the 31-year-old actor is playing a high school teacher who helps the next generation of Rangers. In addition, Frank's instruction continues after the camera is turned off since he owns his own martial arts studio.

But most of his instruction isn't in karate. Frank says acting in the Power Rangers costumes isn't easy and part of his job is reminding the other actors to "play their scenes over the top."

"Power Rangers DinoThunder" debuts Saturday morning (Feb. 14) on ABC.
