Career

Frank was cast in the role of Tommy Oliver, the Green Ranger.

The role was intended for 14 episodes. He was called back as the White Ranger and the team's new leader due to the popularity of the character.

Frank was supposed to be the lead character in VR Troopers (originally named "Cybertron") and shot a pilot episode before being called back to Power Rangers.

Hawkins' character was to replace Tommy Oliver on Power Rangers, according to both Frank and Brad Hawkins. Frank was brought back, however, with Tommy Oliver becoming the White Ranger due to Tommy Oliver's fame with Ranger fans. On VR Troopers, the Hawkins will take over. Adam Steele's character was renamed Ryan Steele.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Zeo has evolved into Power Rangers Zeo after three seasons. The change is part of the annual Ranger suit upgrade to match the Super Sentai series's annual change.

Frank's character was dubbed the Red Zeo Ranger (also Zeo Ranger V).

In Power Rangers Turbo's first year as a driver, his character became the first Red Turbo Ranger.

Frank and co-cast members Johnny Yong Bosch, Nakia Burrise, and Catherine Sutherland were forced to leave and were replaced during the mid-season.

Frank returned to Power Rangers as the Red Zeo Ranger in 2002 for the special tenth-anniversary episode "Forever Red" in Power Rangers Wild Force, which took back ten former Red Rangers, and reunited him with Austin St. John.

He starred in Power Rangers Dino Thunder in 2004 as the Black Dino Ranger, before returning to Dino Thunder in 2004. Frank was always dressed in long-sleeved shirts to cover his arms's tattoos.

"Forever Red" of "Wild Force" was also the case.' Douglas Sloan was a favor to him because he was the Black Dino Ranger. Saban and Disney are "both the same, they're cheap," he has said, but he was wowed by the production crew for Dino Thunder.

In the season finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, Frank reprised his role as Tommy Oliver (who in turn was the Green Ranger for the episode). Following an encounter with Stan Lee at a comic book convention, Frank has expressed an interest in making a Green Ranger solo series or feature film.

Frank appeared in the 2017 film Power Rangers as a resident of Angel Grove, alongside fellow Power Rangers actress Amy Jo Johnson.

In 2018, he reprised his role as Tommy in episode ten of Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel for the 25th anniversary of Power Rangers.

In 2023, Tommy will appear in ten episodes of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury for the 30th anniversary of Power Rangers.

Frank appeared on "United Beatdown" on November 7, 2013, when the White Ranger faces Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. On May 5, 2015, he appeared on "Under Pressure Beatdown" as the Green Ranger and Street Fighter defeated Ryu from Street Fighter Ryu. Bat in the Sun began developing "My Morphing Life" after having success with the "Super Power Beatdown" series. The show premiered in 2015 in season 2.

Legend of the White Dragon, a Kickstarter project, was released in 2020. It was originally intended to be a miniseries or fan film. With the success and awe, it became a full feature film. Frank, Jason Faunt, Ciara Hanna are among the film's recent Power Rangers actors. Mark Dacascos, Michael Madsen, Andrew Byron Bachelor, and Jenna Frank are among the cast members. In 2021, the film was released. It's currently in production and is expected to be released in 2023.

Frank collected the most useful techniques of martial arts, including Sháwondo, Wado, Taekwondo, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do, and Aikido, with his own interpretations of American Karate, "Toso Kune Do." He was inducted into the World Karate Union Hall of Fame on June 28, 2003. Frank appeared at the Arnold Classic on February 29, 2008 in Columbus, Ohio.

Frank officially announced his relationship with SuckerPunch Entertainment, a sports marketing and administration firm specializing in MMA, on August 21, 2009. Melvin Guillard, a UFC novice, started training with him. Frank appeared at the Houston Arena Theatre on January 30 in his much-anticipated MMA debut for the United States Amateur Combat Association. He defeated Jonathon "the Mack Truck" Mack in the first round by omoplata submission. Frank lost in his second battle at Lonestar Beatdown: Dallas on February 19 in Arlington, Texas. Chris Rose, the guy in the ring entrance wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles robe, was his opponent. Frank died in round 1 by TKO (strikes). In the Cage Amateur Association "Cage Rage 7," in State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas, on May 8, 2010, he fought for the Texas Rage. James Willis was his opponent. Frank won by KO in 23 seconds of the first round, with a deteriorating knee.

Frank would make his Ultimate Warrior Challenge debut against James "Ray" Handy Jr. in a light heavyweight match on May 22. On May 21, Frank said on his official Facebook fan page that James Handy was injured and Carlos Horn would replace him, bringing the match to a heavyweight match. Frank was defeated by an armbar submission in the first round. Frank has expressed an interest in joining Strikeforce and possibly fighting Herschel Walker since being a pro.

Frank revealed on his Facebook fan page that he would make his professional debut in Houston on August 4, 2010. Jose Roberto Vasquez, the Argentine, was a heavyweight wrestler. Frank earned his pro MMA debut in the first round by a Rear Naked Choke Submission at 0:46. On December 9, 2010, Frank was scheduled for a Light heavyweight match at Puro Combate 3.
