Original Blue Power Ranger reveals that he was harassed on set for being gay by Brad Wete Tags: Television, Television, TV Comments 219 Add comment Almost 20 years after back-flipping onto kids' TV sets as the nerdy Blue Ranger on Fox's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, David Yost opened up to No Pink Spandex about his stint on the show. And during the three-part interview, Yost revealed just what happened behind-the-scenes when his character was written off the show (and sent to live on another planet): Yost actually walked off set one day after being teased about being gay. The reason that I walked off is that I was calledone too many times," Yost says in the clip (which is embedded after the jump). had just heard that several times while working on the show from creators, producers, writers, directors... Basically I just felt like i was continually being told I was not worthy of Image Credit: Everett Collection being where I am because I'm a gay person. And I'm not supposed to be an actor. And I'm not a superhero." After leaving the show, Yost says he experienced a nervous breakdown. But he's been doing ust fine since then, working behind the camera as a producer for reality TV shows like Temptation Island. Still, the fact that such intolerance might have taken place on set of Power Rangers kind of kills the nostalgic buzz we all have for the show, no?
