Jason
David Frank,
The Man himself
The more I learn about this beautiful man, the
more I like him.
His attitude, his philosiphy, his life.
Full Name: Jason David Frank
Birthday: September 4th 1973 (He's 27 and a virgo)
Birthplace: Covina, California
Parents: Ray and Janice Frank (Owners of a Covina
California Truck Company)
Siblings: Erik Frank who was 2 years older (Played
David Trueheart on MMPR) (Unfortunately, Eric Frank passed
away recently.) Sister-in-law Niki and his 4 niece's and nephews. Kayla,
Gunner, Shea Lee and Erika
(from Erik's first marrige).
Marital Status: Shawna Frank (One lucky woman)
Children: Jacob (7), Hunter Sebastian (5), and
Clair (Not sure of age)
This 6 foot tall man is a certified 5th degree black belt in a form of martial
arts called 'Tuso Kune Do'(pronounced toso kwan dough), in which he has created
his own philosiphy. This art is a combination of the seven major styles of martial
arts. Becoming interested in the arts at the tender age of four, his parents
enrolled him in a school by the name of 'The Red Dragon Karate School'. He grew
up with the art as a major part of his life. At the age of twelve he earned
his 1st degree black belt. When he turned eighteen, he bought his own school
and named it 'Jason Frank's Tuso Kune Do Karate School'. For him, it felt weird
sitting in the Sensei chair, and knowing so little about the philosiphy
of the arts. As an expert in the seven major styles of
the martial arts, Master Frank has excelled beyond all expectations. Now the
owner of 'Rising Sun Karate Academy', Master Frank still sits in the Sensei
chair, very proud of his accomplishments. And always taking to heart and teaching,
the eight codes of the dragon. Brotherhood, dedication, respect, cooperation,
disciple, confidence, attitude, and self-respect.
At the age of twelve, Jason began auditioning for parts,
but 'never landing anything'. Finally, at the age of ninteen, he landing something
that would be the beginning of a wonderful acting career. He had been chosen
to play 'Tommy Oliver' in the number one rated children's TV show in America
'The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'. They told him when he got the part, 'We'll
teach you how to act, just keep kicking like you do'. Boy did he. When the character
'Tommy' was slated to be cut from the show by losing his 'Green Ranger' powers,
thousands of letters began to pour in to save Jason's charater. That's when
the producers realized that they had a hunk on their hands.
Though any preschooler can tell you that Jason played 'Tommy' on the 'Power
Rangers', he definately has an older fan age group. Like me for instance. I'm
twenty-two years old. And yes, I do admit that I watched that number one rated
children's show, until Jason left the cast in 1997. But like many great actors,
you have to move on in order to make a name for yourself. And Jason David Frank
is doing just that.
He is awaiting the first airing of a new television show
called 'The Privateers' in which he plays a character by the name of 'Captain
Vyancort'. If the pictures I have seen are any indication, I can't wait to see
it. As for his guest appearence on 'MTV's Undressed' as 'Carl', well, I missed
it. I won't get to see it until it airs here, which should be soon. Mean while,
if any of you video taped it and vid-capped some images, I'd love to see them.
Especially that tattoo I keep reading about.
When asked, Jason would say that he is flattered that his fan's have stuck by
him after all theses years. Why wouldn't we, he is on heck of a role model.
Bruce Lee has been an inspiration for Jason through-out his career.
An artical written a while back reflects on what it was like for Jason being
a father for the first time:
"Father And Son: The Bond"
When I saw Jacob it was like, "Oh my... look at what we've done!" The tears
of enjoyment the instant love, and of course the fear of dropping the almost
7lbs bundle, I was so scared that I was holding the baby too hard or too loose,
My little tiny baby Having a son is the best thing in the world. Two little
eyes, two little hands, two little feet... Watching every move you made A love
so strange that nothing in the world take it away.
Written By Jason David Frank
I also know, that I am not alone when I say Jason David Frank is a beautiful
man. In
the May 8 1995 issue of 'People Magazine', (which I have) he was voted one of
"People's 50 Most Beautiful" . Not bad huh?
