Ricardo Medina Jr has been arrested
http://abc7.com/news/man-fatally-sta...valley/499910/
Wow. I guess he won't be making any convention appearances soon then. |
I may sound stupid, but who is this guy?
|
He played Cole/Red Lion Ranger in Wild Force, and Dekar in Samurai.
|
I think the original report came from TMZ. Take that with a grain of salt. And I think we would still have to to wait for the trial for the final verdict.
|
Ok. Thanks. I haven't really remembered actor names since the original 6 MMPR cast.
|
So, does this mean Samuel Benta has finally been upstaged?
|
Probably. Is he the one that played one of the rangers when they turned into kids?
|
No jokes please. I'm no mod but, with how Kickback is responding on twitter, he will probably bring the hammer down like the wrath of god if any of you do so.

I'm not joking. I'm serious. Honestly. But, hell, they are human you know. They can and will do shit that will mess up their lives and the lives of others. Just because they were an icon of their time doesn't exclude them from that. It just means that they have to be more careful about what they do. All eyes are on them. But they are human and will falter, no matter what. It is in our nature.
|
Fine, I'll shut up.

All I ask is that people please be respectful over the fact that, regardless of how it happened or why, someone died from whatever the hell happened.
For the sake of his family and friends, please hold back from making jokes. |
This was my reaction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSr8KZgvir0

No Vega, I meant the other guy MatrixBeast named.

My thoughts are with the dead person's family... I don't think anyone would have predicted this...
|
What. The. Fuck?
I have no words man none... |
Um... I don't know if I should ask this, but what did Will (Samuel Benta) do...?

Okay, who is Samuel Benta?

But yeah, this is pretty effed up news. It is going to be really awkward to go back and watch Wild Force now. |
Ok. Thanks.

This is actually the second time a Power Rangers actor has been accused or murder. One of the extras on PRiS killed somebody back in the '00s.

I hope this turns out to be just a case of accidental death. :(

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murde...d_Jackie_Hawks The media really played up his Power Rangers connection at the time, though. |

This might sound like a weird thing to ponder, and it should be stressed that at this point he's been arrested but not found guilty of anything, but if he was found guilty, might this have an impact on possible future reruns of Wild Force or Samurai?
I say this from the perspective of an ex wrestling fan who went through the Chris Benoit murder-suicides and saw him be erased from history. This news is shocking to say the least, and I wasn't a Wild Force fan by any stretch. |

Obviously, this is a massive public relations blow to Power Rangers as a franchise. Not a single Power Ranger actor will be able to do anything without being asked about the one Power Ranger who killed someone (regardless if it was murder or manslaughter). At best, it leaves a taint of "Forever Red features the entire cast of Red Power Rangers, including the one who killed his roommate....". And at worst it leaves Saban Brands with a tough choice on whether or not to have Wild Force and Samurai be promoted in any way, shape, or form ever again (for the time being at least). |
Regardless of whenever it was accidental or not Ricardo's going to have to live with this the rest of his life.
Both families must be suffering with this news and it breaks my heart knowing that this tragedy happened. I have no other words other than this issue be resolved fairly and steps will be taken in ensure events like this happen less frequently. It's just horrifying to read about. |
Jesus.
I haven't watched Wild Force or Samurai in their entirety, but when I get around to watching them, it's going to feel pretty awkward. Nonetheless, this is horrible news. |
I don't think Saban is as likely gonna pull Samurai, since Medina has such a less important role then a lot of other characters. But him being a main character in Wild Force is really gonna make that tough for Wild force.
|
This is really depressing... I mean Wild force is my favorite season. :(

While the actor and Power Ranger angle will be milked by reporters and news sites, I don't think this will be the top story for many sites, to be honest. |
Not a joke. But lets face it people, this is bad timing. We just have to deal with it as it happens. We will do as the Rangers of the past have done. Face this challenge head on and persevere.
