[Samuell Benta]

We would like to Welcome Gerald Urquhart to the board! Gerald is currently known as ''FLURIOUS'' in Power Rangers Operation Overdrive.

[SolarisKnight222]

Welcome Gerald. What's the best part of playing Flurious?

[jenruki]

Hi there how are you? I really like your role very much!!!

[Morphin']

Hey Gerald, It must be hard having to film with all that make-up and prosthetics on, how do you cope?

[Anza Power]

Did he bring Norg with him too? lol

Wellcome to the fandom Gerald.

[Maddienick4ever]

hi gerald :)

[Chris Halliwell]

Hello and Welcome Mr. Urguhart.

How difficult was it for you to get "into" playing a villan on the show?

[DarkBlaze]

I have a question Gerald, what was it like playing a villain on Power Rangers? Was it fun, exciting, difficult?

[O.92]

How comfortable was your throne?

[LordRex]

Welcome Mr. Urquhart. Two quick Qs - What was a typical day on the set like (from waking up to going to sleep) and Have you ever watched any Power Rangers...ever?

Hi mister gerald. Welcome to the board. ^_^

[Green Guardian]

Hi Mr. Urquhart.

Quick question - how long did it take to put all of the make-up on?

[Gerald Urquhart]

Welcome Gerald. What's the best part of playing Flurious?

It was fun being involved with a great bunch of people who were loving what they were doing. A happy set is a fun set. I mean if the people I was working with were lots of fun I'd be happy being a rubbishman!

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hi there how are you? I really like your role very much!!!

To be honest I'm really tired. It is about 10pm here and I've had a busy day. Thanks for your comment though. Quietly Flurious is one of my favourite characters too!!!

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hey Gerald, It must be hard having to film with all that make-up and prosthetics on, how do you cope?

Actually I found it all really invigourating. There was something very special about having a whole new face to manipulate. When the prosthetic was on I really felt in role. The costume gave my actions a certain weight which added to the characters movement.

Of course it was incredibly hot in there. Luckily I was well looked after. I had a person whose job it was to keep me hydrated and cooled off. I haven't been this well looked after before on a set.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hello and Welcome Mr. Urguhart.

How difficult was it for you to get "into" playing a villan on the show?

Slight correction that G in my name is a Q but don't worry too much you aren't the first to mis-spell my name!!

I really enjoy playing villians. I get to endulge in a side of life that you don't normally get to endulge in. Also this particular villian was based slightly on a character I played in a theatre piece over here in NZ so I had already had some experience in manic evilness!!

[Gerald Urquhart]

I have a question Gerald, what was it like playing a villain on Power Rangers? Was it fun, exciting, difficult?

Can I cop out and say all of the above!

If I were to pick one I would definately say fun because when I had a day off I really missed running around trying to take over the world.

[Gerald Urquhart]

How comfortable was your throne?

It was fine. I didn't sit on it without my costume on and the costume was padded. Sorry to destroy any illusions but I am not that muscly in real life.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Welcome Mr. Urquhart. Two quick Qs - What was a typical day on the set like (from waking up to going to sleep) and Have you ever watched any Power Rangers...ever?

Question No1: Okay a typical day. Wake around 5. Get on set about 5.30. Spend the next hour and a half in prosthetics. About 10 to 15 getting my costume on. Act for a while. Watch my stunty do the real hard stuff. Have lunch. Act for a bit more. Remove the costume. Remove the prosthetic over about half an hour. Drive home and pretty much go straight to sleep.

If there was any spare time I'd either work on lines or try and catch 40 winks although this had to be done with a neck support due to my dreads and was often more hassle than what it was worth.

Q 2: Yes I watched the early seasons while they were still showing here. I remember also going to the theatre and seeing the film. I wouldn't say I was a total fan but I did get off on the giant monster battles. It was kinda my generations Godzilla.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hi Mr. Urquhart.

Quick question - how long did it take to put all of the make-up on?

About an hour and a half. But that was good as it gave me time to sink into my character.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Did he bring Norg with him too? lol

Wellcome to the fandom Gerald.

No Norg I'm afraid I left him at the cave:D

[Gerald Urquhart]

hi gerald :)

Hello MaddieNick4eva!!!!

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hello Mr. Urquhart. Glad to have you around here.

I'm glad to be here! Just a quick apology. I've been over to David's discussion thread and was really impressed with his politeness. Sorry I havn't replied to everyone. It is really good to be welcomed this way!

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hi mister gerald. Welcome to the board. ^_^

Thank you very much!

[Markus]

Hello Mr. Urquhart!

I really love your character on Operation Overdrive. It is an really "cool" villian you play.
Here are my questions on you:
How was your first visit on the set, when you saw the incredible Ice cave, Flurious hideout?
Your first name "Gerald" is very common in Germany, have you ever been in Germany?

Greetings, Markus (Germany)

[Crazy Davey]

Hi, Gerald! Flurious is a really cool villain. I like the fact that there are 4 groups of villains this season... 5, if you include Thrax. It really make Operation Overdrive stand out from other seasons which usually only has one group (sometimes 2).

My question: If Disney or the producers asked you to return, would you like to play an all new villain or a mentor, or maybe something else?

[jenruki]

Hi there it's a honor to meet you...

here's my question

1. If you had a chance to be a Power Ranger what color is it and why?

[Fury Diamond]

Gerald, welcome to the board and to the fandom. You are indeed the "coolest" villian that we have seen in Power Rangers.

Flurious proves to be the primary villian out of all the organizations, which is definitely a plus when you have a vast amount of villians running around the world looking for the jewels. You bring a nice combination of comedy (with the character Norg) as well as intense acting through your anger towards Moltor and the primary goal of obtaining the jewels.

What was the auditioning process like for you? Was Flurious your main choice or did you audition for other roles?

[O.92]

I'm glad to be here! Just a quick apology. I've been over to David's discussion thread and was really impressed with his politeness. Sorry I havn't replied to everyone. It is really good to be welcomed this way!

Don't worry about it. You're just as cool. No pun intended.:;):

So, as you know, Flurious is not the only villian. If you could play the role of a different villian on the show, who would you choose?

Also, you said you had dreads! That's awesome. Do you think you could post a picture of yourself? I've always wondered what Flurious looked like under the mask.

[Deker]

So what's it like playing such a chill villian?

And on your off days, what do you like to do?

[Red Nature Ranger]

Hi Gerald! (Flurious)

I just want you to know that speaking with you this day is such a huge honor! You are one of my favorite villains of all time. The way you play Flurious just amazes me. I just want to let you know that you have done a very good job with the character of Flurious. I'm looking forward to see what happens with the character in the remaining nine episodes.

[DarkBlaze]

This is a question I've been asking a lot of the cast. If you were given the opportunity top play another role in Power Rangers... would you do it?

[Lisa J]

Welcome Mr. Urquhart! Glad to see you! (How do you pronounce your last name?)

You've had to work a lot with Kelson. How was your rapport with him like? Any humorous moments you'd like to share?

And here's the most important question: Do you love sleds? ;)

[Gerald Urquhart]

Greetings, Markus (Germany)

The set was amazing!! It totally blew me away! That's when it really hit home that I was playing a villain on Power Rangers.

As far as having gone to Germany I'm afraid I haven't. Although I did to txo years of German at school. Ich spreche nicht zehr gut Deutche!!

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hi, Gerald! Flurious is a really cool villain. I like the fact that there are 4 groups of villains this season... 5, if you include Thrax. It really make Operation Overdrive stand out from other seasons which usually only has one group (sometimes 2).

My question: If Disney or the producers asked you to return, would you like to play an all new villain or a mentor, or maybe something else?

Thanks very much. I would definately want to play another role. I wouldn't mind if I were a villian or not. I also did the voice for one of the one ep monsters called Datum so even if I was involved in just doing the voice for a character I would be happy. It is really fun doing the post sound recording. I think they should have a camera in there as it is almost as entertaining as the show is!

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hi there it's a honor to meet you...

here's my question

1. If you had a chance to be a Power Ranger what color is it and why?

I would love to be day glo orange. It is a cool colour and stands apart from the other colours. I have a bright orange hoodie which is my favourite piece of clothing at the mo.

[mysticwolf11]

Mr. Urquhart, it's a pleasure to hear from you. It's exciting to know that the actors would be willing to take the time to talk with us fans and answer our questions. Thank you so much for your time!

My question is this: Since working on Power Rangers, have you been offered any new projects to work on?

[Gerald Urquhart]

Gerald, welcome to the board and to the fandom. You are indeed the "coolest" villian that we have seen in Power Rangers.

Flurious proves to be the primary villian out of all the organizations, which is definitely a plus when you have a vast amount of villians running around the world looking for the jewels. You bring a nice combination of comedy (with the character Norg) as well as intense acting through your anger towards Moltor and the primary goal of obtaining the jewels.

What was the auditioning process like for you? Was Flurious your main choice or did you audition for other roles?

The auditioning process was remarkably stress free. I was incredibly sick. I was fainting and had nausea when my agent called me up. It was only when they said that it was for power rangers that I decided to do the audition. I went and auditioned and just wanted to get it over and done with. I guess that is why I got it, because I didn't care how well I did I just wanted to go back home to bed!

After I was shortlisted there was a series of interviews; they wanted to make sure I could handle working with the prosthetics and suprise suprise I got the role.

While we all would like to play all sorts of characters I feel that Flurious was the right charcter for me. I wouldn't mind playing Norg or Spencer though but that has a lot to do with how well Kelson and David performed.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Don't worry about it. You're just as cool. No pun intended.:;):

So, as you know, Flurious is not the only villian. If you could play the role of a different villian on the show, who would you choose?

Also, you said you had dreads! That's awesome. Do you think you could post a picture of yourself? I've always wondered what Flurious looked like under the mask.

Personally I think that Miratrix would be a cool villian to play although I wouldn't look quite so good in her costume. What attracts me to her character is how unflappable she is. I like villians who calmly react when things go wrong. She doesn't seem to explode quite as much as Flurious does. Although she is calm on the outside you know she is seething underneath.

As far as the dreads are concerned I was refering to my characters dreads. If you look close enough I have a little pony tail at the back of the prosthetic appliance. Unfortunately I will never have dreads unless I wear a wig. I'm looking to upload a photo soon. I am not very experienced with computers and have to have someone hold my hand when doing even simple stuff like uploading!!!

[Gerald Urquhart]

So what's it like playing such a chill villian?

And on your off days, what do you like to do?

He was lots of fun. He had a broad range of emotions. He was also focussed and patient with attempting to acheive his goals but he also had tunnel vision which effected his ability to acheive them.

On my off days I like to do all sorts of things. I play in a social football team. I like ten pin bowling. I also work as a DJ most Friday nights. I absolutely love music in all its forms, well almost all its forms.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hi Gerald! (Flurious)

I just want you to know that speaking with you this day is such a huge honor! You are one of my favorite villains of all time. The way you play Flurious just amazes me. I just want to let you know that you have done a very good job with the character of Flurious. I'm looking forward to see what happens with the character in the remaining nine episodes.

Thank you very much! I really am humbled by the gratitude you are all expressing. I can't wait for the dvds to come out so that I can see if I deserve your accolades!

[Gerald Urquhart]

This is a question I've been asking a lot of the cast. If you were given the opportunity top play another role in Power Rangers... would you do it?

Definately. The set was a lot of fun to work. All the characters had strong objectives and I really enjoyed the theatricality of the performances.

[Chris Halliwell]

Mr. Urquhart

First off sorry about miss spelling your name.

I was wondering

What Characteristics do you think you and FLURIOUS share?

[Gerald Urquhart]

Welcome Mr. Urquhart! Glad to see you! (How do you pronounce your last name?)

You've had to work a lot with Kelson. How was your rapport with him like? Any humorous moments you'd like to share?

And here's the most important question: Do you love sleds? ;)

Okay this is my little speech for whenever I teach relief.
"Hello class my name is Mr. Urquhart. Thats Urquhart rhymes with circuit."

I've had many fun moments with Kelson I got on with him a lot. Uh to pull one out in particular. When we had our prosthetics on but before we got our costumes on we used to raid the wardrobe. One time we dressed up as a doctor nurse combo. I was the doctor.

I have never used a sled. Where I grew up the snow would settle maybe two or three times a year. I would just use a wool bale instead.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Mr. Urquhart, it's a pleasure to hear from you. It's exciting to know that the actors would be willing to take the time to talk with us fans and answer our questions. Thank you so much for your time!

My question is this: Since working on Power Rangers, have you been offered any new projects to work on?

Thank you very much. As far as projects have been concerned I have done a few. I have done sound operation on a couple of theatre pieces. I've also got a new role on a TV series hear but won't say anything until that starts airing. If you wait until Sept 14th I'll fill you in then. I've been busy promoting DJ nights as well which is a lot of fun. I am incredibly thankful that my two hobbies as a teenager have actually turned out to be my employment!

[Stormy]

Mr. Urquhart

First off sorry about miss spelling your name.

I was wondering

What Characteristics do you think you and FLURIOUS share?

Thats okay I'm well used to it. Yours is one of the common ones. I've seen much worse spellings of my name! Erkit!!!

Probably the major characteristics that we share is that I enjoy to laugh. My friends have commented that my day to day laugh has got a lot more evil since playing this role. Also I enjoy being verbose and grand with my delivery of language. Finally if I were to have a weapon it would definately be a staff. I did five years of Maori cultural group training and a lot of that time was spent using a taiaha or a Maori staff.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Oh to see the pics of those, lol. Kelson's a great guy, funny as heck. Even funnier as an ottoman.


I have never used a sled. Where I grew up the snow would settle maybe two or three times a year. I would just use a wool bale instead.

I got a serious answer, lol. I wasn't expecting that one. There was a bit between Moltor and Flurious about how Flurious stole Moltor's little red sled as a kid. Then Norg, with his infinite wisdom, responded with "I love SLEDS!" Hence my poor attempt at a joke :-)

[Gerald Urquhart]

Gerald, we will be glad to help you with set up the photos for this board. Feel free to contact me through email (Samuell gave you my email). :)

Sorry I don't have a copy of it. If it something simple please tell me. I don't mind the fans knowing I'm relatively computer illiterate!

[DarkBlaze]

Definately. The set was a lot of fun to work. All the characters had strong objectives and I really enjoyed the theatricality of the performances.That's good. Would you prefer to play a villain or an allie?

[Chris Halliwell]

Wow That is actually one of the most in depth explinations on that question I have seen. And I have asked that question to many other people (a few on this site and a few on RangerBoard)

Ok one last question

In 2005 you played Zeek in Hidden. What would you say was your favorite part of this role, and what part would you say that you just hated?

[Gerald Urquhart]

Oh to see the pics of those, lol. Kelson's a great guy, funny as heck. Even funnier as an ottoman.

Oh I knew it was a joke and definately chuckled to myself. I guess I like doing the unexpected. Here in NZ there normally isn't much snow around unless you are in the south island. I guess my joke was lost in the cultural divide. Okay now I'm confusing myself.

[Gerald Urquhart]

That's good. Would you prefer to play a villain or an allie?

I think villains are lots of fun but variety is the spice of life. A character like Piggy would be fun. Someone who plays in both camps.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Ok one last question

In 2005 you played Zeek in Hidden. What would you say was your favorite part of this role, and what part would you say that you just hated?

So have you seen Hidden? The fun part about this film was all my tree scenes with Ellie Cragg. They were lots of fun to do and I was happy with the results. There was nothing I hated about the process of creating the film I just hated that it got one star in the Australian Empire magazine. By the way train spotters They used a photo of me in the review so maybe that is where you could take a gander at my beautiful visage.

[Stormy]

I'm very well thank you. How are you?

I'm doing great. Just enjoying my time in the forum and getting ready to chat with more PR cast members like yourself.

I have a question: How do you describe Kelson Henderson in perticular?

[Chris Halliwell]

I haven't seen it but its one that is on my list to see. That is if I can find it when I go down to Austerllia to visit my family down there next summer.

[Lisa J]

Oh I knew it was a joke and definately chuckled to myself. I guess I like doing the unexpected. Here in NZ there normally isn't much snow around unless you are in the south island. I guess my joke was lost in the cultural divide. Okay now I'm confusing myself.

My bad. Lost in translation I guess. Let's laugh together on 3: 1...2....2.5...

You mentioned "teaching relief." What is that exactly?

[Chris Halliwell]

My bad. Lost in translation I guess. Let's laugh together on 3: 1...2....2.5...

You mentioned "teaching relief." What is that exactly?

Mr. Urquhart can correct me on this if I'm wrong but I think it might be teachers actually getting a longer break than just the summer. But most likely I'm wrong.

[Cyborg]

*Snooty butler voice* Welcome, Lord Flurious. *normal voice* What is the weather & seasons in New Zealand generally like?

[Gerald Urquhart]

I'm doing great. Just enjoying my time in the forum and getting ready to chat with more PR cast members like yourself.

I have a question: How do you describe Kelson Henderson in perticular?

Kelson is a very funny man who is very commited to his passions. He is loads of fun to be around.

[Gerald Urquhart]

I haven't seen it but its one that is on my list to see. That is if I can find it when I go down to Austerllia to visit my family down there next summer.

Bear in mind it did only get one star in the Australasian Empire. Personally I liked it. And it gathered awards on the low budget feature film circuit. However the Empire had to do what it needed to and compare it to a raft of other films with various differences in budgets and aims. I think their verdict was fair. Just not very enjoyable.

[Dekagreen]

Hi there Mr Urguhart

Just wondered,IF you could of been a ranger what colour would of you wanted to be?

[Fury Diamond]

Sorry I don't have a copy of it. If it something simple please tell me. I don't mind the fans knowing I'm relatively computer illiterate!

If you want to post pictures in your Blog section, you can Edit Post and select Attach. Then select the pictures on your computer. :)

If you want a picture as your icon (instead of your current Flurious one), you can email the picture to me at ranger@mysticpoints.net and I will create that picture for you.

[Gerald Urquhart]

My bad. Lost in translation I guess. Let's laugh together on 3: 1...2....2.5...

You mentioned "teaching relief." What is that exactly?

Mwaa..ah..ahh..aaaahhh! I love laffin!
Oh that is my other job. When a teacher is sick I come in and teach the class. Relief I guess is the NZ term for it. I used to be a full time dance and drama teacher but I found myself getting employed too much. I still do it now because I love the kids I worked with. Also it provides a certain structure to my life that acting or djing doesn't provide. I guess it keeps me grounded.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Mr. Urquhart can correct me on this if I'm wrong but I think it might be teachers actually getting a longer break than just the summer. But most likely I'm wrong.

Yeah it is all sorts of things. I sometimes get called in for a day or sometimes it is a whole terms worth of work. This can be for any reason including sickness, extended leave or sports or cultural tours. My favourite classes to take are when the drama teacher is away. It means I get to work with the kids I've worked with already.

[O.92]

I understand now. Usually here in the US they're called substitutes. But that's a long word and I think I like Relief better.:lol:

How did you feel about Moltor being your character's brother? Did you like him? Did you think he was a big meanie?

[Gerald Urquhart]

*Snooty butler voice* Welcome, Lord Flurious. *normal voice* What is the weather & seasons in New Zealand generally like?

Because NZ has such dramatic coutryside that changes so much there are many different weather patterns in a small areas. I could go into it in detail, I have a passing interest in meteorology.

The joke about Auckland is that on any given day it can rain. I reply to this by saying yes but on any given day it will be sunny too. The best season in Auckland for me is autumn. This is when the weather is most settled. It is better than the summer because the heat isn't as abrasive but the ocean is still warm enough to go swimming.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hi there Mr Urguhart

Just wondered,IF you could of been a ranger what colour would of you wanted to be?

Day glo orange but I've also heard it refered to as helicopter orange. Its bright and original

How did you feel about Moltor being your character's brother? Did you like him? Did you think he was a big meanie?

Yeah I thought he was a meanie but I thought that I was a bigger meanie And I liked it like that. Their have been lots of instances throughout literature when brothers have been competitive with each other. I love that dynamic existing between us.

Ah, dance teacher! What kind, or is it just an all-purpose dance class? Also, what type of music do you DJ?

[Stormy]

Kelson is a very funny man who is very commited to his passions. He is loads of fun to be around.

That's cool!

How do you prepare yourself for the fights scenes while filming?

[Gerald Urquhart]

Ah, dance teacher! What kind, or is it just an all-purpose dance class? Also, what type of music do you DJ?

Yeah I teach more the theory of dance than an actual dancing style. The basis of my experience in dance is kapahaka which is traditional Maori dance and contemporary dance. I have to say that I'm not particularly good at either but I do enjoy veiwing both forms.

Now how long can I make this blog. I love a wide range of music lets see I like hip hop, indie rock, emo, country, blues, house, drum n bass, electro, trance, crunk, dub, reggae, dancehall, folk, baltimore club, grime, 80s in all its forms er 2 step, and many others. When I play I like to try and mix as many genres as possible. I like to give an education but keep it party first and foremost.

For an example of how broad my tastes are I recently went to see the Cure and before that saw Yacht and Panther perform. I'm also really keen to see The Game and Naughty By Natuer when they tour in September.

On that I do play hip hop nights sometimes, 80s nights on a Friday and every third thursday play an indie rock slash electro night.

[Gerald Urquhart]

That's cool!

How do you prepare yourself for the fights scenes while filming?

I have done some stunt training before and I really enjoyed the stunt training we did with the stunt unit. Unfortunately my costume and prosthetic appliance were soo expensive I didn't do a lot of my own fighting. As the season wore on I did a bit more but nothing much more than a fall or two and the odd staff thrust.

Looking back on it that was one of my dissapointments but that is what the stunt department are there for and they did an excellent job. Also it would have been terrible to have gotten injured halfway through the season.

[Ranger Red]

What is your inspiration for the portrayal of Flurious? Have you been inspired by other TV/Movie villains or was it all just made up from you?

In a fight to the death, who would win - Flurious or Moltar?

[Gerald Urquhart]

What is your inspiration for the portrayal of Flurious? Have you been inspired by other TV/Movie villains or was it all just made up from you?

In a fight to the death, who would win - Flurious or Moltar?

There were a few inspirations. I had played a character like him in the theatre called Dr Zak. Also I had seen the Harry Potter film Goblet of Fire I think and really enjoyed the way Voldemort was played. The world of prosthetics is really interesting and I'd to play a charater even less humanoid as Flurious was

[Gerald Urquhart]

Oh and look at that. Ladies and Gentleman. I present Gerald Urquhart's face!!!

[Ranger Red]

Oh and look at that. Ladies and Gentleman. I present Gerald Urquhart's face!!!

Hey, that's awesome!

[Bridgey]

Hello Gerald! Welcome!

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hey, that's awesome!

Yeah not quite so craggy or demonic eh?

[Ranger Red]

Yeah not quite so craggy or demonic eh?

I definitely would not have guessed such a good looking man was under all that Flurious gear. How long would you have to sit still for to get all done up Flurious style anyway?

[Gerald Urquhart]

I definitely would not have guessed such a good looking man was under all that Flurious gear. How long would you have to sit still for to get all done up Flurious style anyway?

How did you deal with that? I would all - OMGICANTBREATHE! *panic*

Yeah I teach more the theory of dance than an actual dancing style. The basis of my experience in dance is kapahaka which is traditional Maori dance and contemporary dance. I have to say that I'm not particularly good at either but I do enjoy veiwing both forms.

Now how long can I make this blog. I love a wide range of music lets see I like hip hop, indie rock, emo, country, blues, house, drum n bass, electro, trance, crunk, dub, reggae, dancehall, folk, baltimore club, grime, 80s in all its forms er 2 step, and many others. When I play I like to try and mix as many genres as possible. I like to give an education but keep it party first and foremost.

For an example of how broad my tastes are I recently went to see the Cure and before that saw Yacht and Panther perform. I'm also really keen to see The Game and Naughty By Natuer when they tour in September.

On that I do play hip hop nights sometimes, 80s nights on a Friday and every third thursday play an indie rock slash electro night.
Another reason to take a trip to NZ. Or another reason for you do to do some gigs in the States, lol.

You just "suck it up princess" and get through it. Mortal fears of mine are hieghts, not handy for someone as tall as me and spiders. In Hidden I spent a lot of time up a tree and another project I'm working on I spent inside a shed full of spiders. You just realise that you are getting paid to play dressups really and that these fears have to be gotten past for the good of the piece.

I guess sometimes when you are so into your character you start losing your fears and start living with the characters fears.

[Gerald Urquhart]

I would love to tour the Eastern Coast. I think Baltimore has a really happening scene at the mo and to go to the birthplace of hiphop would be awesome.
Taking baby steps in that direction. First I need to tour NZ and then we will see what happens.

Character fears? Wonder what Flurious is afraid of. What do you think he's afraid of?

Hope you don't mind - I'm a journalism student so I've learned to come up wtih follow up questions. =)

The most fear he shows is in the first 2 episodes where it is too hot for him. I think he has a fear of inadequecy as well. Maybe he fears a true connection with someone meaningful. I mean Norg is trying his best to be more than just a servant!!! lol

Hey, since Flurious is the villian of ice, do you have an answer for why he is on the beach in quite a few scene's?:p

[Cyborg]

I don't think he's MADE of ice, but he was cursed to be a humanish monster who needs to cool-off (litterally) in sub-zero temperatures although he can survive in most normal climates (bar deserts like the Gobi) for a period of time.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hey, since Flurious is the villian of ice, do you have an answer for why he is on the beach in quite a few scene's?:p

It is more a case of him chasing his prey rather than them coming to him. He definately is more of a homebody than Moltor preferring to send out minions and Norg rather than leaving the icy comfort of his cave. He sees no choice but to leave it on occasion.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Flurious makes reference to the havoc heat plays on him early on in the series. He is like a reverse reptile. They need to warm up before they are effective.

[O.92]

I see your the current champion of Breakout! Congrats! Are you big on playing games such as video games, board games, or any other kind of games? (ok, I said the word games to much in this post.)

Fair enough, it has been a while since I watched what little of OO I have seen.

Hey Gerald. You've just won a million dollars (well, not really, but let's pretend). What's some of the first things you'll buy?

Yeah I have a psp which I used to pass the time when I had it to kill on set. Play all sorts of games on my computer too. Got sucked into Oblivion big time and was a fan of the Baldurs Gate series. Not so much the Neverwinter Nights games.

My favourite game of all time was for the playstation called Ico. It had this really good atmosphere that I think has only been done again with the goods of War games.

Hey Gerald. You've just won a million dollars (well, not really, but let's pretend). What's some of the first things you'll buy?

I'd do things like invest in a house. Give some to my family. Pay off my student loan. Buy some more music equipment like a better sampler. And I would definately buy a few pairs of air force 1s. I didn't really like Nelly's ode to them but I love dem shoes.

[Gerald Urquhart]

World domination doesn't come without hardwork and perseverance. I had a mispent youth playing games like breakout on my computer or was that my Atari?

[mysticwolf11]

Are there any actors out there who inspire you in particular?

[Gerald Urquhart]

What is probably the most difficult part of your job?

The thing which this job really taught me is how to relax on set. I used to worry about every little thing about my character I wanted him to be so perfect. But you learn that you have to relax into your role and the character will shine through. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing!

I spent ages playing Mario bros on gameboy. The last one I played was Wario I think

I asked David to do this, but I think it would be a neat thing if you asked David some questions in his thread too. :D

You might have missed this question as it was the last post on page 11.....but by any chance do you play WOW?

[Gerald Urquhart]

Are there any actors out there who inspire you in particular?

There are a huge number but I'd have to say the two main ones are Leanardo Di'caprio and Johnny Depp. Both make bold and interesting choices with their characters and also pull it off. Alan Rickman also plays a good villian as does Gary Oldman. Bill Murray has always been a favourite since Ghostbusters. As far as women are concerned Nicole Kidman is phenomanal if you ignore bewitched and Renne Zelwinger is great. Cold Mountain was a terrible film but when I saw her in it I knew she would win the oscar. That barn scene is excellent.

[Gerald Urquhart]

That's so cool!:) Do you still keep up with gaming these days, like the PS3 and the Wii?

Keen to get a Wii but I actually spend a lot of time working. I have three jobs on the go at the mo and lots of projects on the horizon. NZ is a small market so I've spread myself as thinnly as possible. It is better to be too busy than nothing at all. I sometimes play Tiger woods on the psp though when I have a spare moment but I think Breakout will be for me.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Guild Wars sounds so familiar I just can't quite place it though. I really like fantasy role play games and sports sims. Anything that is immersive really. I am definately less of a gamer now though. I also love kooky japanese style games.
LocoRoco was crazy good. Any recommendations on this front would be most welcome!

Neverwinter Nights owns......highly suggest that if you like games of that genre.

Fantasy role playing games are the best. The Playstation and PSP had a nice collection of them, including the Final Fantasy series. If you're ever interested in trying out Guild Wars, hit me up and I'll send ya a copy. It's a fantasy role-playing/action game.

[DarkBlaze]

I have a simple for ya, what type of movies are you into?

Kingdom Hearts. It's got some Disney kid characters in it, but it's not a kids game at all. It has a very developed and detailed storyline that even I have to sit and think about to fully grasp it at times. But it's a long game. And it's rather...addicting. You just want to keep playing and playing.

[Gerald Urquhart]

That's cool too. Since your into music and all, like Samuell, have you two ever thought of doing something together perhaps?

[Gerald Urquhart]

Neverwinter Nights owns......highly suggest that if you like games of that genre.

Yeah owned them both but I didn't like the lack of feeling in the surroundings. NWN2 looked a lot better but the gameplay was a bit clunky especially during conversations. I preferred the two dimensional nature of Baldurs Gate and Icewind Dale. I felt like you were playing in the midst of a mythical painting. The background art had a real strong sense of itself.

[Smokin Ranger]

Sweetness yeah Baulder's Gates are great games to......Play Diablo II any?

[Gerald Urquhart]

I have a simple for ya, what type of movies are you into?

I love action and comedy. On that front Transformers ruled and Die Hard 4.0 rulz too. I loved Napolean Dynamite and if you liked that one then you should try and catch the new Kiwi film Eagle vs Shark. If you hated Napolean Dynamite then don't see it you won't get it.

I used to be a lot more arthouse in my appreciation of films however now I find that that is fulfilled in the theatre I attend.

On a different tack see Into the Blue, another Kiwi film. It is quite a heavy drama but I have never cried so much in a theatre before. Yes grown monsters can cry.

There's one for Gameboy that comes between 1 & 2, almost like 1.5, but it's terrible, don't get it. But the main 2 are for the Playstation 2.

[Gerald Urquhart]

That's cool too. Since your into music and all, like Samuell, have you two ever thought of doing something together perhaps?

We have talked about it but I'm more of a dj than a producer. I handle the business side of things as well putting on a couple of nights a month and organising the DJs for this 80s bar as well as playing there myself.

There's been a lot of movies I've missed this year. And I've morned for each movie I've missed: Transformers, Harry Potter 5, etc.

But I guess all we can do is dream. I think what would be so cool is if they made a all star Power Rangers movie for the 20th anniversary- God willing we make it.

[Cyborg]

Gerald, as Smokin asked earlier, have you ever played Diablo II? And if so, have you played either Diablo (original) or Lord of Destruction (eXpansoin Pack to D2)?

And since Transformers has been mentioned, have you watched any of the series or either movie (1986 animated or 2007 CGI/Live-Action)?

[Fury Diamond]

No Sir..Sorry Sir...The Dog ate it!!! Honest!!! You do believe me don't you Sir?

I am a big H Potter fan. I was intrigued to see no 5 because of all the books I found that was the one I found the most annoying. They did a good job with it turning the longest book into the shortest film

[Gerald Urquhart]

No Diablo wasn't my thing. Baldurs gate and Icewind were enough for me at that stage. I was also playing Fifa 98 til my thumbs bled on the ps1. I would take nz to the football world cup and win. Something that I think has more cheance of happening than a PR movie unfortunately

Oh I see aren't they expected to be released somewhere in September, this is also the first season of Power Rangers to release the whole series on DVD.

[DarkBlaze]

Wait, the whole series is coming to DVD? So their not releasing it in volumes? That means we get to see the last episodes before they even air huh?

I'm not sure - I think September was the release date...I think 3 titles were to be sold - 'Pearl' was a double-episode from memory!
Do you know anything Gerald?
Also we made a couple of Videos - not sure what they were - but they were listed on my IMDb page..don't know who by!!

My girlfriend is teaching in North Carolina for a year - she eMailed me today about the DVDs - she's going to buy them in the US - watch them - then send them to me.
Plus one of the fans said he would record some of the eps and send them to me....that'd be great too.

No no no the are releasing them in 5 volumes, right now they are only going to release 2 or 3 volumes in September there isn't any other information about the rest of them, but all 5 volumes will contain the whole series.

[DarkBlaze]

So really all we have to do is buy one DVD and we're set right? I don't wanna get too off topic, I'm just a little confused.

[Veteran Ranger]

It's called a 'Spoonerism': Sober as a Judge.

*SPOONERISM ALERT*

Honestly ociffer, I'm not under the affluence of inchohol. I've only had to martinis and I have all sober to sunday up in, so siss on you pisster! You're not so mucking fuch, what the hell makes you think you're so smucking fart!?

[Hiro]

So really all we have to do is buy one DVD and we're set right? I don't wanna get too off topic, I'm just a little confused.

Sorry once again I was being very unclear. They will be releasing 5 volumes (5 DVD's) in total for the OO series, currently they plan on releasing Volumes 1, and 2 this September.

[O.92]

The 5 volumes will cover the entire series. I believe that each DVD is being named after each jewel. The first 2 are coming out in September, and ususally, more come out in December, so I'm guessing the other 3 will come out around then. They'll cost $100 in total ($20 each, without shipping) so, I guess they'll make a good Christmas gift if you celebrate.

So, Mr. Urquhart, do you have any holidays you enjoy celebrating?

Yeah I think I did VII through X I might be out by a game or two but I played four in a row. Another example of how a game doesn't need to strive for a realistic three dimensional setting in order to be fun.

Oh wow, you have played Final Fantasy series. That's awesome. Well, ever since they ported the FF series to Playstation, they strive for the three dimensional settings. Back in the day of Super Nintendo, they had a series of awesome fantasy role playing games that I'm sure you would simply love.

Mr. Urquhart, some "other" question: Norg and Flurious would make togehter a great potential to have their own comedy show. Some of the jokes have a real chance for this entertainment. So would you make even a comedy show with Kelson?

Example: http://www.operationoverdrive.net/downloads/downloadmv.php?file=5

[Kagami Arata]

ive got a uniqe question for you as well.


Where do you see yourself with your acting in say the next year to the next 5 years, are you gonna continue to act, and what roles do you see yourself in?

[O.92]

Many of the fans online find Norg's character rather annoying. (I like his character and maybe I'm weird, but I do, lol). Do you like Norg's character?

Also, do you believe that your cave (lair/base) was well designed or do you think it could have been cooler (no pun intended)?

[Gerald Urquhart]

The 5 volumes will cover the entire series. I believe that each DVD is being named after each jewel. The first 2 are coming out in September, and ususally, more come out in December, so I'm guessing the other 3 will come out around then. They'll cost $100 in total ($20 each, without shipping) so, I guess they'll make a good Christmas gift if you celebrate.

So, Mr. Urquhart, do you have any holidays you enjoy celebrating?

Hello again. I love the summer holidays so Christmas and New years are generally big celebrations. I also enjoy Queens Birthday weekend because I play a whole lot of music that comes from Queens.

Example: http://www.operationoverdrive.net/downloads/downloadmv.php?file=5

I'd love to do a comedy show with Kelson. He is a very funny guy and quick on the uptake. However I feel that there would be a lot of red tape involved in using the characters from Power Rangers. You can't mess with Disney!!

[Gerald Urquhart]

ive got a uniqe question for you as well.


Where do you see yourself with your acting in say the next year to the next 5 years, are you gonna continue to act, and what roles do you see yourself in?

I fully intend to act for the rest of my life. I have a natural gravity so I feel that my career prospects will probably improve with age maybe peaking in my mid thirties. However that can be in any number of projects. I enjoy theatre and have done musical theatre before. I've started a new project at the moment but more on that when it is about to debut. I would love to do more voice acting as well as film and TV. I've also been involved behind the scenes directing plays and doing sound for theatre. So long as I get to be part of the performing arts I don't mind.

Also as I've mentioned earlier I also work as a DJ and a promoter so would be keen to develop that area as well. Hopefully an NZ tour then maybe two years down the track over to London or the US east coast. Potentially their may be a tour to Australia as well but don't know many people over their at the mo.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Also, do you believe that your cave (lair/base) was well designed or do you think it could have been cooler (no pun intended)?

I loved Norg's character and was really suprised by the fan reaction to him. I feel that he provides Flurious with some colour. Even if you don't like the charcter himself he gave Flurious a chance to express a wide range of emotions from anger to exassibation through to love and affection (that is only in one ep). I feel he is neccasary as without him all the villians would have a samey quality about them. I'd just be another Moltor.

Also I think it is important for television series to remember what they are. Norg totally fits in with the feel of the original baddies henchmen. If you are after something with less self effacing humour in it then there is star wars or chronicals of riddick, star trek or firefly stargate the x men movies. Actually I can think of many films and tv series geared toward a slightly older market but PR will always be geared to a younger one.

Please take my little rant out of context either because I do think that it is important to know what you do and don't like and I see strong reasoning for it. However I genuinely cracked when I heard Kelson deliver the character and that is definately within the realm of my sense of humour.

Also what I say shouldn't be taken as gospel because My sense of humour is mine own. I liked Jar Jar Binks who a large amount of people hated!!!:lol:

MY cave totally blew me away when I first entered it so I don't really know how I would make it cooler. I enjoyed the caverness feel to it and definately liked it more than the techy ranger base. How would you make it cooler?

[Ed Phoenix]

I hope this wasn't asked before...

So, mr. Urguhart, or Gerald, have you watched Boukenger?

If yes, then has anyone ever compared you as Flurious to Gajah?

[Hiro]

I hope this wasn't asked before...

So, mr. Urguhart, or Gerald, have you watched Boukenger?

If yes, then has anyone ever compared you as Flurious to Gajah?

I asked him that question yesterday, he only watched the first 2 seasons, and the movie when he was a Teen.

I have a question Gerald I am seeuming since all of th OO cast have accents, is it hard to hide your accent?

[Gerald Urquhart]

I hope this wasn't asked before...

So, mr. Urguhart, or Gerald, have you watched Boukenger?

No I havn't watched any boukenger. I must have misinterpretted you Hiro. Sorry!

I've onl;y seen the first two seasons of Americas Power Rangers and the movie before the series was banned in New Zealand.

Who is Gahjah?

[Gerald Urquhart]

I asked him that question yesterday, he only watched the first 2 seasons, and the movie when he was a Teen.

I have a question Gerald I am seeuming since all of th OO cast have accents, is it hard to hide your accent?

Well I do have a kiwi accent normally but I have trained quite a lot so a lot of kiwis ask if I'm from overseas when I'm born and bred here in NZ. The accent which I started off with for the character was very American and very twangy to my ear. However his accent evolved through a series of workshops before filming started.

I love accents so no it wasn't hard to hard mine own. If anything due to the changes made during the workshop process his accent became closer to mine.

[GoldenDragonGuard]

Hello Mr G!

Just wondering if you had a nice day.

To be honest, if you haven't watched it's not so important. in other terms, it's just what Flurious is in America.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Hello Mr G!

Just wondering if you had a nice day.

A lovely day. I've been on a film set all day and it went really well. I was doing comedic scenes and they really had a life of their own.

[Gerald Urquhart]

To be honest, if you haven't watched it's not so important. in other terms, it's just what Flurious is in America.

Ah yes I have seen photos but no action. I asked if it would be worthwhile but was informed that they wanted me to develop the character by myself so that it would be a whole new creation.

[GoldenDragonGuard]

That's good to hear, is it too early to give us a brief run down on what it is?

[Gerald Urquhart]

That's good to hear, is it too early to give us a brief run down on what it is?

Can't say anything til the advertising comes out. Its for a local production. More news on Sept 14th or whenever I see an ad with myself in!

Ohh, making me want to wait with anticipation even more. -grin- And erm, please don't smack me but I'm going to try and roleplay Norg in one of the threads... I'm good at writing evil, buut... it's a little bit nerve wracking when the man himself is here! -laughs-

Can I ask, did you ever have a favourite past Ranger or Bad guy?

No I havn't really watched rangers that indepth. I remember when they got all their dino powers in the film and I dug that. Was the original 6th ranger green? The dude with the pony tail was pretty cool. That robot helper was cool too. Didn't like the big green head though

Yep that was Tommy, if you mean the Black Dino Ranger.

I agree, the Dino Rangers were pretty awesome but I guess it was popular because of Tommy, getting a lot of old fans back into the swing of things I reckon.

I guess I can go real nogalistic now... are you a fan of Captain Planet? -grin-

awsome, i was hoping you would keep acting seeing as your voice is unique, and trust me if you came to Australia you would have alot of fans and alot of people show up, power rangers in particular is very popular, and thanks for answering my question

lol, I feel the same way! And whenever people on this...other PR website:straightface:get all mad and I or someone else tells them this (the whole "It's a kids show" thing) they just get madder and say it's a weak excuse. But I totally agree with you. And I like Jar Jar Binks too:p

2 questions. The first is, do you enjoy watching or playing any kinds of sports or athletics? And second is, do you know anything about the future PR seasons to come?

[Thray_Walsh]

Mr Urquhart, I want to say that you're pretty cool [if you'll pardon the pun!:)] as Flurious and it's also good to hear that you're into RPG's and unusual Japanese games...

As a gamer, have you ever played any RPG's like Phantasy Star (http://www.phantasy-star.net), Grandia or Shining Force (http://www.shiningforcecentral.com)?

In fact, I actually worked on the European version of Final Fantasy VII myself as a software tester... Ah, the stories I could tell of working into the early hours of the morning and the caffeine rush from drinking lots of Pepsi...

I recommend that you get the Megadrive Collection UMD for PSP as it has Phantasy Star II, III and IV on it plus Sword of Vermillion [although I personally recommend playing Phantasy Star II+IV myself, in fact my name on this board is a homage to the Japanese version of Rune Walsh from Phantasy Star IV!] along with Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, Tales of Eternia and the Final Fantasy remakes when they come out in English.

Japanese-games wise, I'd definitely recommend you try Elite Beat Agents, Jump Superstars and Full Metal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy if you ever get a Nintendo DS.

[Deker]

LOL Looks like you have peaked the interest of the gamer crowd a bit here. lol

What would you say is your shining moment as an actor?

Ever think of growing a Flurious style mustache? :P

[Cyborg]

Yep that was Tommy, if you mean the Black Dino Ranger.

I agree, the Dino Rangers were pretty awesome but I guess it was popular because of Tommy, getting a lot of old fans back into the swing of things I reckon.

I guess I can go real nogalistic now... are you a fan of Captain Planet? -grin-

I think Gerald was talking about MMPR:TM by the movie (there was ONLY MMPR:TM & T:APRM, and Gerald only saw MMPR S1, S2 & TM before PR was stopped being aired in NZ). MMPR S1 was where Tommy (ponytail Tommy, not S2's mullet Tommy) was the Green Ranger (DragonRanger in ZyuRanger in Japan).

So Gerald liked Tommy (MMPR Green) & Alpha (little robot) but disliked Zordon (who's head was actually Blue, but was close enough to the Blue|Green edge that it fades between the two.).

[Ranger Red]

If I recall correctly, mullet!Tommy came in Season 1, ponytail!Tommy was later on. You confused me a bit there, Howler!

So Gerald, do you ever watch yourself perform? If so, do you find it weird? Are you your own worst critic or do you take it in stride?

[Gerald Urquhart]

He's our hero and he's gonna take polution down to zero!! Loved him. I really liked the guy with the earth powers. Can't remember his name. Really liked the pig villian and Gaia is one hot earth spirit!

[Gerald Urquhart]

awsome, i was hoping you would keep acting seeing as your voice is unique, and trust me if you came to Australia you would have alot of fans and alot of people show up, power rangers in particular is very popular, and thanks for answering my question

Well I have many voices. If you guys do see Hidden I barely speak at all it was mostly facial acting. That is the biggest reason I got the job I think. I have a wide range of expressions on my face and that would manipulate the prosthetic well.

[Gerald Urquhart]

lol, I feel the same way! And whenever people on this...other PR website:straightface:get all mad and I or someone else tells them this (the whole "It's a kids show" thing) they just get madder and say it's a weak excuse. But I totally agree with you. And I like Jar Jar Binks too:p

2 questions. The first is, do you enjoy watching or playing any kinds of sports or athletics? And second is, do you know anything about the future PR seasons to come?

Big fan of cricket. I'd have to say its my no 1 sport. I love rugby league. I think Aussie's NRL is the best sports competition in the world because it has the most balance. I think at the moment the lowest place team has 8 wins out of 22 where in most leagues it is one or two. Also it is a game which is based on attacking and yet the defense is thrilling to. I watch the olympics. Love rugby. I'm a Crusaders fan. Support Arsenal as well. There have been some hard times recently. Thierry come back! I played all sorts of sport when I was growing up.

Actually I had to shave off a mo in order to have one glued on. I always grow one in November or should I say Mo-vember! But because I was doing the show I decided to grow one early. I love mostaches. Have you gone shopping before? Well you try going shopping with a stache! How about walking the dog? Then definately try it with a stache!! Kissing your girlfriend? Stache!!!!

Ok enough of that. Shining moment. I'd have to say that one of the best times I had was in a theatre piece that I did with Barnie Duncan down in Wellington. It was this mime clown piece that sold out before we had even got down there. It was so fun and irreverant. The wellington people were buying us dinner and drinks. we felt like theatre rock stars.

lol, that's awesome. Have you ever thought about growing a beard?

[Red Ranger]

Wow, never tought you were some kind of a gamer. If you like RPGs that much you should really try Shinig Force, as Thray_Walsh said (I still can't get over the fact that Scenario 2 and Scenario 3 of Shining Force 3 were never released outside of japan :angry:)

You're doing a great job on OO. Flurious is such a cool villain (pun not intended).

[Ranger Red]

He's our hero and he's gonna take polution down to zero!! Loved him. I really liked the guy with the earth powers. Can't remember his name. Really liked the pig villian and Gaia is one hot earth spirit!

I believe the guy you're looking for is Kwame. I caught a re-run of this show a while back.

[Gerald Urquhart]

Done it many times. I grew up listening to grunge and heavy metal. At its longest my goatee was about three inches. The folly of youth.

So Gerald, do you ever watch yourself perform? If so, do you find it weird? Are you your own worst critic or do you take it in stride?

Yeah I am my worst critic. I have two or three friends who I know are going to be honest and fair. I always try to take them with me to guage my performances. It is not that I think I'm terrible I just see lots of little things that I could have done better. I see the mechanics of what I'm doing rather than the performance so critique far too harshly.

Thank you for your candid response.


Any actor worth his salt will always tend to be self-critical...aware that he could've done better. It's how one handles it that counts. One must learn a lesson and move on. That's how one develops as an actor.

David posted this in his thread in response to a question similar to mine so that's why I asked you on your attitudes towards your performances.

[O.92]

Have you ever been big on comic books? And if so, which was your favorite superhero or team?

[Gerald Urquhart]

Have you ever been big on comic books? And if so, which was your favorite superhero or team?

I never collected comics but I have read quite a lot of the x men universe due to my flatmates collection. My favourite character was Gambit and was bitterly disappointed he didn't make it into the movie series.

My favourite graphic novel I have read is the Sandman series. Neil gaiman has some beautiful stories.

I also enjoyed the sin city series and was really happy at how true to the story the film was.

Yup. I agree. Would you rather play a fire themed villian? Not saying it has to be Moltor, but were you happier playing an ice themed villian?

[Gerald Urquhart]

Yup. I agree. Would you rather play a fire themed villian? Not saying it has to be Moltor, but were you happier playing an ice themed villian?

Ice is a powerful elemental force and I was stoked to be an ice demon type character. I would have no preferrance of element but I do wish that I was able to use my own ice powers more in the show. I would have loved to fly like iceman from xmen.

I agree. What if you had gotten the chance to be a water, earth, or air themed villian?

And do you think it would have been cool if Norg & Flurious got to run an ice cream truck?

[Gerald Urquhart]

Imagine Flurious....with the powers of Iceman and Gambit combined...very nice.

That sounds choice although I always wanted nightcrawlers power of teleportation

I think that I'd love the chance to play all of the above but I'd want to give heart a go too!

Now that would be great. We could of had it for our vehicle. What do you think of an ice cream truck Zord?

[Thray_Walsh]

Mr Urquhart, a few more games you should check out on the PSP are Generations of Chaos, Gurumin [especially as the main character's totally cute and uses a drill as a weapon!:)], Valhalla Knights, Samurai Warriors, Shinobido and Harvest Moon.

I have another question for you which I've already asked Mr Weatherley and Miss Montemayor. If you ever got invited to a event in the UK like the London MCM Expo (http://www.londonexpo.com) as a star of Power Rangers, would you go?

[Fury Diamond]

That sounds choice although I always wanted nightcrawlers power of teleportation

I've always personally liked Cyclops, Gambit, and Iceman. Yea, Nightcrawler is awesome. Have you seen the three X-Men movies? Iceman was a major character is all three movies (mostly in two movies) and Nightcrawler was shown in part 2.

[O.92]

Now that would be great. We could of had it for our vehicle. What do you think of an ice cream truck Zord?

I think that'd be awesome. It'll top any of the Fearcats zords.

I would love to attend expos and conventions anywhere around the world. It would be a nice opportunity to meet fans and to get a personal guage of what it means to be part of power rangers. Here in New Zealand we are quite insulated from that sort of thing.

Of course we have to be practical about this though. It costs a bit to get over to London England but also it depends on availability as well. At present I am working on a project and if I had to choose between an acting job and a convention visit I would take the job. I'm an actor first and foremost. That is not to say I wouldn't be dissapointed because I think it would be fun.

I've always personally liked Cyclops, Gambit, and Iceman. Yea, Nightcrawler is awesome. Have you seen the three X-Men movies? Iceman was a major character is all three movies (mostly in two movies) and Nightcrawler was shown in part 2.

Saw all three in the movie theatre. I thought the third one was visually impressive but lacked a certain something. It was intense how they killed off characters left right and centre. My favourite scene in all three was when Magneto drew the metal from his jailers blood to escape.

Did you read the comics. I loved the Age of Apocalypse alternate universe.

Hey Gerald, if their were one planet you would like to visit in the future, which would it be? I know, I ask weird questions, :lol:

Have you ever been in any life threatening situations?

It would have to be Mars! Mercury is just a tiny burnt rock, Venus's atmosphere will make it hard to see anything at all, the gravity of the other planets would make a visit very uncomfortable and Pluto has just lost planetery status.

No Mars has it all. It has valleys and mountains and it is a lovely shade of red.
