Can you give us a little hint on episode 30?
DarkBlaze
08-18-2007, 01:50 PM
Oooh yes please, a hint would be great, even if it is a small little hint.
Deker
08-18-2007, 01:54 PM
It was his favorite episode to film. So that should be enough of a hint.
Expect explosions, some laughter, some action, and maybe a touching moment or 2.
I think thats a good enough hint don't you? ;)
DarkBlaze
08-18-2007, 01:57 PM
Hmmm, yeah I guess so. If one of the cast members enjoyed it, then I think we should enjoy it.
SolarisKnight222
08-18-2007, 01:58 PM
Samuell what did you think of the OO theme song if you have heard it?
Deker
08-18-2007, 02:00 PM
Realistically it's tough for cast members to say anything about future episodes. They usually have to sign an NDA (Non-Disclousure Agreement). This means not being able to disclose future events within the series. No matter how nicely you might ask or how little you might ask them to say. ;) Just a little FYI. And it's common courtesy for fans that don't want to know what future episodes hold anyways. :)
Fury Diamond
08-18-2007, 02:12 PM
Yes, until the episode airs on Jetix.TV and/or Jetix, any information on future episodes are confidential.
DarkBlaze
08-18-2007, 02:13 PM
Seeing that we always get part 1 of a two parter on Jetix XD, I think we should be getting part 1 of the finale when the time comes.

Hi Samuell! First of all, I just wanna say how cool it is to see a PR actor so involved with keeping in touch with the fans as you are. It's nice to see the connection between us and you guys isn't so distant after all.
I was just wondering what it was like doing the episode 'Just Like Me', when Dwayne was suppose to be copying your image and actions.

Hey Samuell. Great to talk to you again. Got a quick question. Are you or any other cast members that showed up for the convention collecting pictures from Morphicon?
Magmafire
08-19-2007, 02:35 AM
Hey Samuell! I think you've done an awesome job with playing the character Will on 'Operation Overdrive.' I was wondering what is the best way to get in touch with you and the other Overdrive actors/actresses in terms of receive an autograph from you guys? I've read several different things online about it and I'm kind of confused. I wasn't able to make it out to the morphicon a few weeks ago, which sucks. I can only imagine how awesome it would have been to see all the ranger fans and cast members there.
Best of luck with your acting, music, and future endeavors!
Also thanks for taking the time to converse with fans online. That's just awesomeness all the way.

In terms of autographs, you have to send requests to Disney,and they will send you promo shots that are signed, (well thats the way their doing it now)

Samuell Benta
08-19-2007, 05:14 AM
Hey Samuell, will you be doing any gigs in the near future?
Do you mean acting or performing my music?
If it's acting then all i can say is that i hope so, the thing is with acting its not a regular job, we have to audition, if we get the part then we get it, its not really something we have control over unless we are MR Hollywood earning 20 million.......

another actor:question:
First of all i'll be harsh!!!!
Slap yourself in the face! and say to yourself stop being a nervous freak, then you kick that door down with your head up, and march in like you've done this all before.
Practising scripts is a good way of dicovering new attributes to a character, or even reading books. In terms of TV work, use a mirror stand in front of it and practice your act, the camera IS the mirror, remember that!

Well seeing as i live over here, and i have watched it what was it like working on Hotel Babylon,and am i wrong in saying there was a little twist at the end with ben.Also was it hard portraying a pretty dresspresed guy in Silent Witness,was it hard filimg those last few scenes!!

Hotel Babylon was a great show with great actors, i really enjoyed it and class it as one of the best jobs i have had. Yes there was a twist at the end lol. Silent Witness was a great job but very depressing job, seeing as i had to be very upset throughout, in order to stay in character for that show, i had to not really interact with cast off set because i didnt want to laugh, as it would be hard to get back into charcter.

Hi Samuell! There are so many rumors on the internet about a Operation Overdrive - Mystic Force team up. My question: would you please tell us if there will be one?
DarkBlaze
08-19-2007, 03:25 PM
we have like 9 episodes left, would another team-up be possible? I mean, maybe if they put straight onto DVD, that could work. You know, like they did with the, 'Wormhole' team-up.
President Ranger
08-19-2007, 03:25 PM
I have a question.
When your character Will came out alot of people complained that Will's character was a stereotype. They said he was a theif. Did you think that Will was a stereotype?
thats what i thought or with wild force: there was forever red and the normal team up later.

No not at all, many people from different cultural backgrounds auditioned for the part, and i got it, i know im black but i am not a stereotype and have no intention of reinforcing what may seem one.

I agree that he wasn't a stereotype.
I am also black and I try not to reinforce stereotypes and hate when people act like something is stereotyping blacks when it isn't.

We usually see some of the previous seasons cast stick around to play roles in the new show, an example would be chip now playing Sentinel Knight (dont remember the actors name) do you know if there has there been any talks with anyone on the OO cast to return next year for JF in a new role.

ria would most probably get another role, and maybe caitlin/gareth/james, because they live nearer NZ, Myself and Rhoda probably no chance coz we would cost more money but who knows.

2. What characteristics if any do you beleave you share with the Will in OO?
Magmafire
08-19-2007, 06:51 PM
In terms of autographs, you have to send requests to Disney,and they will send you promo shots that are signed, (well thats the way their doing it now)
Is there a specific address to send requests to? I'm not sure where to send them. Do we have to send money/donation with the requests? Also, are we require to send a self-addressed stamped envelope along with our requests?
I'm confused on the specifics of the process.

I love the unmorphed fights,it has been avoided for quite awhile,for me that what made Mighty Morphin so cool,being a 7 yr old at the time and seeing kids slightly older than me kicking monster arse was so cool, For that i am all for the actors doing fight scenes,as long as you dont get hurt though.

1. As i live in south america, i want to know if a latin guy like me can do an audition for the show next year. I'm a dubbing actor (voice actor) and currently taking some acting class, so do you know if i can go to an audition?.
2. How did you find out about the audition?? and where did you do it? did you make the audition in London or in New Zeland??.
3. When is the time to make the audition?? i hear that the last audition happened in late April/ealier may.

Yeah I just want to know how he knows about it and if it's true or just a possibility. If I am correct, the only way he could know is if he or someone he knows is involved with it, but even then I don't think Disney would just let him notify most of the PR fandom. Normally they put those involved under a legal binding contract banning them from speaking of such things.
However I am more interested in whether or not it WILL happen or if it is just a POSSIBILITY.

It could be something unique that goes alongside the live action version. Whatever the case may be this isn't the thread for rumors or things like this as he has no part in it as I understand.
Actually I was more or less interested in finding out if the animated series was going to be PR 2009 or if it would be seperate because Benta made it sound like he did know something and the animated series was going to replace live-action in 2009.
Unfortunately, when I wrote my question I didn't have the question articulated into a proper question in my head.
So after about 30 minutes:
Hey Benta, will the animated series be PR 2009 or will PR 2009 be live-action and the animated will be it's own seperate thing?

OK. I have an interesting question to ask:
If you were lost on a deserted island, what is the one thing you can't live without and why?
im guessing it would be water and my mobile (cell) phone. lol

Welcome Samuell, I'm glad I'm not the only one here who say's "mobile phone" adding the "cell" part in brackets for inter-English communications. (ie: between American English, Australian English, Brittish English & Canadian English) But then again, this is what happens when you're stuck out in rural NSW where the FTA is so bad it's only worth getting PayTV (Sattelite).
Anyways, here's a question; How easy/difficult was it to practise running the Overdrive Tracker down your arm and stopping at a point before you rolled it right off into thin air for the morphing sequances?

Morphicon was made by like older fans, and most younger fans didn't even know there was a Morphicon. I couldn't go, but I hope the next one would be closer and I'll get to go.

Think of it this way. Disney is short on budget. They've already cut down the episode amount, they're low on budget thus we're not getting a teamup next year, and now, you think they're going to support 2 PR shows? I doubt it. Most likely, live action will go bye bye and animated series will come in, bomb, and well, then PR will be cancelled and Disney will move on and make more crappy movies like High School Musical #.
So, Sam, you've just won a million dollars (not really, but still). What's some of the first things you'll buy?

Dont tease me with money plz hahaha
Well, still if it's animated, Do you think i can be part of the cast as a voice actor?? i mean, i'm taking acting class but apart, i'm a voice actor here in Venezuela, so maybe if PR 2009 it's animated, i still can do the voices don't you think??.
Oh, another question. I read an interview made to Bruce Kalish and he said that all thecast members received a script of 3-4 episodes. If that's true, then how many episodes did you film per month, like 6 or 8?.

Hey here's a thought for you to consider:
On Operation Overdrive, Will's genetic power was super sight and hearing. Would you like to have these powers in real life, and if so, what would you use them for? Nothing too perverse I hope...

Since there been alot of bashing on Operation Overdrive being the worst season of power rangers. Samuell what do you have to say about that?
Veteran Ranger
08-21-2007, 07:31 PM
To be honest i cant answer that question......
What about in comparison to your fellow cast members?
If you can't answer that:
If you weren't Will what character would you like to be?
No comment..........
Considering it's Disney, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say no.

Hello there! First I'd like to say that I loved your concert at Morphicon, and that if you had done the OO theme, it would have been much better then the crap they put together. >_> lol
Now, I have a question. Have you ever looked at fanfiction about Power Rangers, particularly about OO and your character? I'll probably ask this to most cast members, because people write some weird stuff (but also some really good stuff) that may or may not interest you.
Anyways, thank you for helping to create this board, and for taking time to talk to all of us. We really appreciate it! ^_^
So Sam, do you ever plan on releasing an official CD or anything?

Hey Sam!
I'm really liking the site, you had an awesome idea and there's no doubt karma will repay you for this incredible opportunity you've given to tons of PR fans around the world, I just hope that you guys can participate in some of the other threads, don't be shy we don't bite. (Well, I don't bite hard. )
Plus the new haircut is really great, gives you a new edge and it was bugging me who you reminded me of then I realised, the guy with the dreds from the black eyed peas! Well, you look like a cross between him and snoop dawgie dog, rofl. Wishing you all the best with the CD, it's really hard to get into the music industry now-a-days, they don't pick you up off the street any more (Idol is an exclusion).
Well that's it for now, trust me to not look up and realise someone else had asked a question I had in mind -grin- I guess that's why all the signs are pointing at me to 'pay attention to detail' -snort-
Bai for now!
Hey who knows...if i get signed, then yeah definatley!!
Well, since you have that one CD avaliable for purchase on your official site now, do you ever plan on releasing another CD, maybe a sequel to that one? Not official or anything, but just putting together a new CD?
