Bede on Power Rangers Jungle Fury
How did you hear about Power Rangers?
I wasn't that familiar with Power Rangers before my auditions. I had seen it years ago on TV when it used to screen in New Zealand but that was it. I did a workshop with the casting director for Power Rangers and then a couple of weeks later, she rung me up for an audition, and I was like hell yeah, that sounds awesome!
What was your first reaction when you heard you got the part?
My agent did the old "I'm sorry Bede but I've got bad news"....(silence)....you got the part!" I was estactic! Lots of hard work had paid off. It meant something new and exciting fort he next 6 months, being part of a big production, and meeting and working with all sorts of new people.
What is a typical day on set?
A typical day on set usually means getting up very early YAWN, and being pretty incomprehensible and vacant for a while. Though squeezing into my tight leather pants certainly wakes me up, then things start to heat up. I certainly look forward to getting that ice pack down my back, aaahhhh feels so good!
Which cast member are you closest to?
I developed special bonds with all the cast members, as I had not met any of them before. But the closest to me would have been Holly (Camille) as I did most of my scenes with her so we got to hang out a lot. I miss her.
How is your role on Power Rangers different to any other role?
My role on Power Rangers is my first so I actually don't have any other roles to compare it to. It is an action fantasy kids show loved by all ages so I imagine it would be quite different. Power Rangers is a pretty special show.
Do you have any similar characteristics with your character?
Haha Jarrod was a bit of a dick to start of with so I hope not. Then he becomes quite menacing and evil so again I hope not. But he is a very determined and focused character, tenacious even, works hard so I could relate to those.
