The Jason David Frank and Dr. Jason Narvy panel at New York Comic Con kicked off with a surprise rendition of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” from the audience members until the men of the hour showed up. Paul Schrier, who was scheduled for the panel, was unable to make it due to some family issues. Frank took pictures of the crowd and even recorded them doing the wave. The Jasons put on something of a comedy act, playing to the crowd and bouncing off of each other and making the crowd erupt. Putty jokes, Kimberly-the-mother-of-Skull’s-kid jokes, inappropriate “dragon dagger” jokes and so much more. It’s hard to capture the energy the duo were able to deliver into the room, but the crowd hinged on every word they spilled.

Frank kicked things off promoting his upcoming reality show My Morphin’ Life that will debut in January on an unknown network. He also name dropped the Green Ranger movie he’s eager to get off the ground. He’d come back to it later calling the Green Ranger the Wolverine of the Power Rangers Universe and that he’s pulling for the movie because the fans want it.Narvy talked a bit about his current whereabouts as an artistic director of the theater department at a university in Chicago and was just recently doing a play in Brooklyn. He also teased that he and Schrier are “cooking up something” very soon as a reunion project for the pair.The pair bounced some fan questions between them (and gave some free swag to those that came up to ask questions) before engaging the crowd in a lesson on how to make Putty Patroller noises. After, a fan asked if Frank liked playing the bad Green Ranger way back in “Green With Evil,” to which the actor responded with a resounding yes by doing his infamous evil laugh from those episodes. Naturally, Narvy had to follow up with the patented Skull cackle.When asked a question about which PR series was most physically demanding, Frank said they were all about equal but that he was the only Ranger in history that had to film a fight scene in full costume, helmet included. “When people come up to us and ask us how it feels to breathe [in the helmet], other actors don’t know and I forgot myself that I did that fight scene with Jason in the Dark Dimension. Cosplayers are like, ‘welcome to my world!’”A fan brought up Frank’s challenge to WWE Superstar CM Punk. “Let’s get that going,” said Frank. “I love CM Punk, he’s a really nice guy. But he did say in his panel that he would fight me and you can’t say that in the fighting world if you don’t mean that you’d fight me. Let’s get a contract going! I also want to spar Anderson Silva for a fundraiser but I don’t hear back from anybody!”

A fan asked Narvy how it felt to be left on Earth while the rest of his friends went off into space. Narvy responded with an impassioned “How would YOU feel?!” to much applause. Later, the Bulk and Skull bromance was brought up to which Narvy replied, “We invented the bromance, bro!”

Narvy also said that while he was incredibly thankful for his role and early-in-life success on Power Rangers, he was aware that he was typecast as the “kooky” guy for the rest of his career. “So now I’m teaching acting – and Shakespeare – and in the acting class they [the students] listen to me a lot. Shakespeare on the other hand, they’re like, ‘Dude! You’re Skull, not Hamlet!’”

The duo continued to relate stories from the glory days of Power Rangers, from jumping around in mosh pits to doing deceptively dangerous stunts like climbing up an oil rig. There was also a great spattering of fans thanking Frank for his inspiration in getting into martial arts or fitness.Narvy touched on why superheroes are so important not only to kids but to all of us. “We need to believe there’s something bigger. We need those role models.”The panel went back and forth quite a bit, including hugs to birthday girls and more jokey banter until Frank ended the panel, fittingly, with a fierce “It’s morphin’ time!” and rapturous applause.
