Christopher Khayman Lee - NEW LOOK 2006

Hey everyone! I was just surfing around on the RangerCrew forums and I stumbled across a picture of Christopher Khayman Lee that someone posted. Yep, that's right. He played Andros the Red Space Ranger in Power Rangers in Space and this is what he probably looks like nowadays. I did some research and found out that the photo is from the set of an independent film production called "Miles From Home" with Chris being the assistant producer. The film won Awards at the 2006 Independent Black Film Festival. Don't know if he still has the long hair now, but you can see his ponytail in another photo on their Myspace page. I didn't recognize him at first until I read people's thread posts. He has gotten bigger since we last saw him on Forever Red. I noticed he gained a few pounds when watching the episode back then, but now he's put on a lot more weight. There are people on the forum site stating rumors such as Christopher being a fanatic who is addicted to X-men video games and that he really believes he is the reincarnation of some vampire. I'd love to see him make an appearance along with his other Space ranger co-stars at a convention one of these days! We need to give him some motivation to get back into acting. Maybe he could possibly return to Power Rangers in the future either as Andros for guest appearances or a new character similar to Ricardo Medina Jr. returning to play the evil Deker instead of Cole Evans the Red Wild Force Ranger.

Power Rangers Samurai Comic-Con Panel Video 2011

The Official Saban's Power Rangers Youtube channel finally posted a 30-minute video of the Samurai cast panel at the 2011 Comic Con San Diego! Paul Schrier (Bulk) hosted a one-on-one interview with the rangers and then a Q&A from the fans. There were a lot of interesting questions and it's so nice to see Hector David Jr. (Mike/Green Ranger) act so outgoing and connecting with the fans with his PR knowledge. It really shows how fun it is to be part of such a huge franchise and that it is possible for a fan to work their way to become a Power Ranger like Hector has done. Now, here is the video. Enjoy! Samuraizer! Go Go Samurai!
