End of conference. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.51

Favorite actors: Joseph Gordon Levitt, Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Meryl Streep, Daniel Day Lewis, Charlie Chaplin, Ed Norton #sdcc #powerrangers

13.50

One cast member stood on top of a porta potty with a bucket of water and dumped it on another when she walked in. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.47

If Rangers was an adult show, then they could release the bloopers uncut…#sdcc #powerrangers

13.46

Bloopers: everyone fell at least 3 times. Sneezing. Missing just one word in a close-up scene. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.45

Most of the stunt trainers were Japanese. Favorite things learned: how to ride a horse. Press person suggests a pickup line: hey baby I can be your knight! #sdcc #powerrangers

13.42

Favorite scene: the “munchies” scene with food all over the place. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.41

You are going to be a superhero for millions of kids around the world. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.40

Future advice for next cast: do not look back, make the characters your own. It’s like a family, treat like one #sdcc #powerrangers

13.39

Your favorite collectible? Squinkies (rubber, squeezable), megabots, Morphers, Samuraizer hand sanitizer #sdcc #powerrangers

13.38

The first two months were spent mostly trying to figure each other out. Delays due to script changes. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.37

Watched lots of the old Mighty Morphin series to help develop his character. Every character is shaped by the rest of the team. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.36

The entertainment industry is very hard to break into. No room for self-doubt. It is like training for a sport. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.32

Having to say goodbye to each other after 2 years of filming. PowerMorphicon is the last appearance. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.31

In fact with method acting the cast had to become real friends to show the friendship on the screen. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.30

It sounds like the cast had to live together in close quarters during filming and became very close friends. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.29

Apparently, Super Samurai is the first series to be shown in New Zealand since the original series. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.27

The show incidentally was filmed in New Zealand. Must be the new hot destination post LotR #sdcc #powerrangers

13.26

The cast has not met their Japanese counterparts. They were shown a few episodes. Everyone started from Ground Zero and made it their own. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.24

Power of Red Ranger helped one five year old in the Make-a-Wish foundation helped him get through his illness #sdcc #powerranger #aww

13.23

Show’s about showing kids that with teamwork you can do anything. #sdcc #powerrangers #aww

13.21

What does it mean to them to be part of the larger franchise’s legacy? All the cast grew up with it, often connecting with older actors from earlier in the series #sdcc #powerrangers

13.19

The character of Mike is getting more serious, though. #sdcc #powerrangers

13.18

A lot of the cast feels that over time their characters have gotten less serious. #sdcc #powerrangers
