Matt Austin Talks About Power Rangers Super Megaforce


Because Karan Ashley will not make a cameo appearance in Power Rangers Super Megaforce, Matt Austin who is best known for his role as Bridge Carson aka SPD Green (later promoted to Blue then Red) posted a comment on the YouTube video were an excerpt of Ashley's radio show was posted.

Matt Austin revealed that as far as he knows, nobody in the Disney era cast received an e-mail from Saban. Below is the full version of Matt's comment.

First. I don't know what email Saban sent out. As far as I know - nobody in Disney era cast received a letter. Second. I totally get Karan. PR is one of the most top rated kids series in the world - the actors get paid peanuts to do it relative to any other show on television that doesn't play in every foreign market on earth. I actually make more at my current joe job per hour than they ever paid. They make tons of money off of licensing and merchandise, that doesn't trickle down to the actor.

To ask cast (except me apparently) to go down to NZ, essentially for free when you subtract food/airfare/hotel and the time away from responsibilities at home - is a LOSS. This is one of the major reasons why you started to have a rotating cast. So there aren't any contract negotiations. You have the cast. You milk them and then you cut them off. It's one of the reasons SPD/Mystic Force didn't have a team up. Wish it were different. I love the show and I love the fans. #Buttery

MAJOR EDIT: According to Fury Diamond, a reliable source when it comes to Power Rangers news SOME Disney era Rangers got an invite from Saban Brands.
