This is a preview of our full audio interview with Rick Medina (Cole from Power Rangers Wild Force, Deker from Power Rangers Samurai).
For a minute I thought this interview was being conducted in his prison cell.
Lowkey same!!
I will not comment on his incident, i will just say he was good as a red Ranger, but completely badass as a villain. One of my favorites still.
I respect him as an actor. I don't care if he's a criminal or not, he's a good Red Ranger.
@@lucashan9176 i get in a lot of trouble for separating the art from the artist.
@@lucashan9176 Yea exactly I wish he would show up to Power Morphicon.
FREE RICK
YES, FREE RICK..........
Slaggit Starscream FREE MR.MEDINA
I thought it said 'FREE DICK' lol
Yes,please.I miss this guy
he killed a guy with a fucking sword, he deserves to be locked up
I wouldn't say that, if listen to Johnny yong bosch when he was in power rangers and what he sounds like now,hes voice sounds very different. your vocal cords change when you get older over time not just in puperty, I have relatives who smoke and they don't sound different.
Nice to see him admitting to be egotistical and arrogant in the past. It takes balls to realize his own flaws and actually change into a more down-to-earth person. Congrats to Medina!
Rick sounds so different!from Wild Force to Samurai, he sounds really different
Your voice changes so much as you get older
He is so Hott😍🧡❤
Samurai did take place 10 years after Wild Force
I don't know why he's being so hard on himself about his acting, I reckon he was the best of all of the actors in Power Rangers Wild Force, especially when it came to the emotional scenes!
I agree 100%
no way He was not the best. He was the final great one though
o please no he didn't
How did he not? He admitted to murdering his roommate. They said it was self defense. The other guy had no deadly weapon, and was stabbed when he opened Medina's bedroom door in their apartment. Absolutely no reason to kill someone who has no deadly weapon. Just take em down while someone calls the cops.
You'd have to be really stupid to think he didn't kill his roommate.
Back then he used to look bit like Rafael Nadal
Cole's manner of speaking & vocal tone is so different than how he really speaks, it's crazy.
Oh Rick! You're always my all time favourite Power Ranger
Agreed
I can relate to Rick being pretty rambunctious during my youth. I didn’t ever take up martial arts like he did though.
Deker was actually one of my favorite characters in recent PR history. Thanks, Rick.
Cole, Wes, Tommy, Shane and Scott were the best red rangers
I love how he's keeping it real. The cast had their their differences and issues with one another. If it was another actor I think they would have painted this picture perfect image. I definitely aspect him for just being honest, and I wish him all the success in the world.
I did not care for Rick Medina as Cole but, I thought he did a pretty good job as Deker in PR: Samurai. He plays a very intimidating villain and has a great presence for it.
A real true villan
+Jarrecko I actually liked him better as Cole than as Deker. Because, unlike Deker who didn't really have a strong character arc, Cole's backstory and his character arc was a lot more intimidating despite the hamming acting back then.
Right, because murderers are such great people. *Eye roll*
I hope that Rick Medina doesn't end serving life in prison because of his role as Deker in Samurai/Super Samurai. I mean, this scandal should not have happened in the first place and I do not want to have my kids remember this guy as being a villain in a Power Rangers series, but as a hero.
Lol he has jin kazamaz tattoo on his left arm , awesome
Right
He use to be a stripper lol.
lmao im not surprised
He and all the other rangers tht have showed off shirtless signed a contract in order to do tht in their seasons 😍 I hope he's ok he was my favorite n Pua magassiva
Always he's been very attractive for me. Since I was a kid, I liked him so much, even when I saw him in scenes shirtless. He was my first celebrity crush. ❤
GRRRRRRR! I am so frustrated, there are still a lot of details about the case he was sent to jail for that we don’t know about. His wikipedia page doesn’t give everything and I can’t find anything else. I’m scared to know the truth but I need it. He says it was self defense but how do we know he is telling the truth? Why did he need to defend himself? What made the roommate violent if he was? And what does the girlfriend have to say? I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look at him again on Power Rangers if he actually committed murder.
So much of my upbringing was thanks to Wild Force. Cole Evans was my Tommy Oliver. I was 5 years old when I first discovered Power Rangers and Wild Force was my first ever Power Ranger series that I watched. It may not sound like a big deal or very important but up until that age I was was never able to pick a favorite color, I was always bouncing back and forth between blue and green and wasn't too sure of my favorite animal (I remember this vividly). Also just realizing that the number 5 is one of my favorite numbers because he was the 5th Ranger the team needed. But then I saw Cole as the Red Wild Force Ranger. I thought his whole persona, his love for animals which I also have, his mentality, beliefs, and being raised from the jungle like Tarzan was too cool! Red instantly became my new favorite color and the lion became my favorite animal. From that moment on, even 20 years later my favorite color is still red and my favorite animal is still the lion. That Halloween my brother and I were the Red and Blue Wild Force Rangers. Was our favorite Halloween costumes for years to come. I'd even do the red headband like Cole did. I learned a lot from Cole back then that I still hold dear to me. Try to see the good in others, never give up even with the odds stacked against you, and how to be a leader. He's probably one of the reasons why I want to be an actor, so I can give kids what he gave me. A memorable childhood with plenty of valuable lessons, someone they can look up to like so many did with Tommy Oliver. It's all thanks to this actor! I don't care what anyone says, Wild Force will forever be my favorite and be one of the best Power Ranger seasons and Cole will always be my favorite Power Ranger! I owe a lot of my childhood to him portraying Cole! Once a Ranger always a Ranger! I don't know if he'll ever see this or if I'll have a chance to meet him one day but thank you Ricardo! UNITED WE ROAR!
I'm with you brother, Cole Evans was one of my childhood heroes and he's my favorite power ranger, he's a great inspiration to me to this day. By the way, could you tell me which martial art Rick says at 2:00? I imagine he says Taekwondo but then he seems to say something else that I couldn't make out as English is not my native language, I would be really grateful if you could help me, thanks man.
@@luanfreitas2303 Completely agree! He'll always be my favorite Power Ranger! And in regards to your question, you are correct! He said he took Taekwondo!
@@Will-Dabeest thanks a lot for helping me bro, but after he says Taekwondo he seems to say some kind of modality right? Eternal gratitude for Cole and thanks again for helping me brother.
@@luanfreitas2303 He says he took Taekwondo at the local Y, it's a type of gym. And of course, happy to help. Same, eternal gratitude for Cole!
@@Will-Dabeest thanks a lot bro. Once a ranger, always a ranger, the Cole and good legacy for Medina remains.
cool interview he is still awesome as cole on wild force i hope he'll play him again when the new ranger series hits next year but for now its decker im liking now :)
He's a cutie.
If a production company decides to make a new Dragon Ball Z movie I think Rick Medina or Jason David Frank could play Vegeta.
Rick would make a good Vegeta!
He's definitely laid back hahah
cole will always be one of my favorite red rangers!!!...
I'm so in love with you Ricardo Medina Jr. I so would die just to meet you and be in you presence. 😘😘🥰🥰😍😍
Rico from Hollywood Men ❤
Solo se protegio lo iso dendefencia propia
No
No Pink Spandex I hope to meet him one day let him know for me please? Thanks
His in prison for murder mate
In prision
@@alexiafreeandfiredyoungman6318 He's released now.
@@lefez9015 Yikes
Was he the one that did the Spectacular Spinning Kicks???
I thought about something else, Johnny Yong Bosch did a good job with the voice of Zero in MVC3. Rick's voice is closer to that of Lucas' from X8,Command Mission and Maverick Hunter X. Rick would do good being zero too.
#FREERICKMEDINA
Archlight agreed
no
He stabbed his roommate, why?
@@babachacha8214 thought you'd like that?
Drug took this man simple he was and would’ve been a great actor and public figure for the PR but drugs man
It is age to, but smoking also, heavy smoking.
He’s so hot
I don't like red rangers but tbh, he's my top favourite.
He made a "little dent in this universe" alright...
He took his Wild Force powers, too literally. 😂
his wild force team was in megaforce
Decker is a cool villain
Ok! He sounds like a whole different person. He is the second red ranger to sound different in than the characters they play with the first being Danny Slaving Leo from power rangers lost galaxy who was actually voiced by a older man.
did you heard the news that Ricardo Medina, Jr. was arrested for murdering roommate.
He's saying it was self defense which it might have been so yeah. They still have to arrest you and question you while they figure out what happened. So don't witch hunt him yet.
Charges were dropped as of today and was released from jail and such. Sucks what the outcome was for the roommate though. We love you, Rick!
+Elizabeth Schiada he got arrested again loll
why
He`s out and free with out a charge
Con sus miradas será muy popular en la cárcel.
wow I am surprised he went from cole to being deker
I feel like you. Because I have grown up with no dad
I really like how he kept it real about going thru issues I wish could find away to get my son who is in tae kwon do to be apart of something grande
It’s been very sad of Ricardo Medina Jr. who is quit his acting from 2012 after his final role character of Mark from Bad Blood Film. How long he’ll returned from his acting?
#PowerRangers
Even with whatever really happened with his incident, he remains my favorite red ranger, even over guys like wes, and connor, and even Tommy and tommy is the greatest ranger to me. As much hate as wild force seems to get, itll always be the first season i think of when i think of power rangers, and will always be my favorite. Now for the haters of wild force, that couple episode sequance when their fighting marrick, thats some of the best power rangers moments of all time, the stakes were so high
This is awkward
I was a huge Power Rangers fan, but stopped watching after "Turbo". I don't know much about the series after that, but finding out about his killing of his former roommate is a shocker. Hope he gets what ever help he needs, and prayers go out to the family of the deceased.
Coupe more years than our wild force red will be the presidents body guard after the release lol great self defense by hiding samurai sword he is indeed Dekker
Its smoking, it happens if you smoke often.
I never liked Wild force, nor his role. Il only watch forever red. Im sure he's better actor. now.
What's up with his voice?
hes from south carolina
I know, but I didn't too much care for wild force, or him at the time. When but when he played Deker in Samurai, I liked him a lot more. I'm not even totally sure why I like that character so much, but he just made me happy lol
How can Ricardo be Dacker hies to differently be Dacker grate job with this video I enjoy it lot
Seen like he had a feminine side, Lisa J, what's up with that?
its the facial hair, i didnt catch it either untill someone pointed it out
Is it me or does he have an accent?
Just to Point Cole has a new Zealand accent
Man he sounds a lot different than i remember
Where Are They Now?
Unfortunately, shows like the Power Rangers get looked upon as just as a cheesy kid show (which I don't agree with) with cast members with weak acting skills. Some casting agents/producers feel casting a former PR actor will make their show appear cheesy as well. Actors like Amy Jo Johnson. Walter Jones, have gone on to other things.That's why you see actors in huge popular films like The Hunger games or the (new) Star Wars films do another film pretty soon after to avoid getting type casted.
Man, I lOVE Power Rangers, but I feel so bad for these actors. Every time I see a new cast i know they won't get much work after they get the role; There are only a couple actors who have done well after PR.
This was before or after the stab?
Before
i use to hate him! he was such an over actor and tried to be like Tommy sooooo much but he gets my respect for admitting his flaws.
Acting wise. Why do they not get hired for more roles after they're done with Power Rangers? Some of them are pretty decent actors.
I don't get why that is. Is there a bias against PR actors or something?
I have always wanted to be a Wild Force Power Ranger I would like a chance to be a Wild Force Power Ranger on TV to make children happy and to tell them to go for their dreams like me.I miss the Wild force Power Rangers a lot and the princess I think it's about time to make some more episodes i really miss the Wild force zords. I really miss all the cash from the wild force power rangers they all were a great actors.I would really love for them to be the Wild Force Power Rangers again one day and I hope you can help me be a Power Ranger on TV and NEVER GIVE UP.
Is it just me or does he remind everyone else of Jeff Hardy in the face, might be because of the ponytail, but he really does remind me of Jeff Hardy. I think it's great, thank you for sharing Lisa J!

wild force sorry
Hey hey was he on 'Kept'?
Decker
YO SOY Fan y novia de Ricardo Medina JR
Haha, always a Mexican girl...
Cole is cool but Deker is better
Paul 6492
Nah
I like him better as cole
respect!
He played the red lion ranger from jungle force
The victim had multiple defence wounds and stab wounds. When you see the autopsy report you realise it was a callous and cold-blooded murder this creep has gotten away with. But how was he allowed to get away?
I don't get it either. Apparently he only spent 3 years in jail for cold blooded murder. Am I missing something?
@@GamingNostalgiaRemastered He quoted self defence, took a plea bargain, pleaded guilty. Even that does not explain why the already light sentence of 6 yrs was further reduced to 3.
Unless he had an out-of-court settlement on the side with the family members as well.
Well his roommate attacked him and his girlfriend, which what I heard as Rick try to protect her and himself. I don’t know where the whole argument took place, but Rick kill his roommate in his bedroom.
Where he and his girlfriend hide away from the roommate outburst, then the roommate banging aggressively and barged the door down.
That’s when Rick had a sword or knife (whichever it was, I can’t remember.) to get to back off, but the roommate was somewhat was still aggressive towards him and his girlfriend.
When the roommate attacked him and Rick stab him, but it didn’t stop him and I think Rick stab him probably maybe 5 or 6 times. That the roommate finally died.
It would help you find the other guy broke into his room looking for a violent confrontation. And Medina gave it to him🏈 he took that double edged sword and sliced his belly open. He's super confident/super cocky so when the other guy broke in looking for a fight, Medina responded like the cocky dude he is----he jabbed that sword straight out into his stomach---retracted it----I mean the stomach is a sweet spot---and Medina slid that sword in and out of his belly eight or nine times, dude. That dude Medina, that dude was totally fuckin BAD-ASS DUDE 🏈
He sounds like an airhead
Quite beautiful, though. #Ricardo5
Hi sweetie,you are simply the best!
Sucks he's in jail
definetely, he was the best red ranger of all
his violent tendencies started around 7 or 8 and that just boiled up cuz he never got true help for it, a violent sport just makes it acceptable to be violent, he got fame relatively early and that grew his ego and entitlement, when that faded and he was never told no he snapped because hes really a 13 year old in a mans body
golfwangcpa a violent sport? If you do your research, martial arts not only teaches you how to defend yourself, it also teaches honor and discipline among other virtues. Don't blame martial arts on someone being a violent person.
ur correct, i was trying to put together all of the things that could've gotten him to this point, im a huge jiu-jitsu fan which is one of the most graceful practices in martial arets, im not trying to blame the art, im trying to point out that in his mind it was a way to release is violence, everyone whos been in a class where theres to super juiced up asshole trying to take everyone out, im sorry my comment offended u honestly it wasn't to rip on martial arts, if it was football i would've referred to it as a violent sport because he's the one making it violent not the people there to learn
golfwangcpa I understand. I spoke wrong and I apologize. For years I watched people blame any number of things on why kids misbehave. Sad thing is no one corners the parents much. I did martial arts for 15 years. Never was a violent person because of it.
How is jail?
Yes, Ricardo! Brasileiros em Power Rangers! He's so nice.
Ele não é brasileiro não! É americano de origem Porto Riquenha.
Now THIS was interesting insight. Good work Lisa J.
Where is he now ?
Probably living his life now as a free man away from the limelight, after the incident happen in 2017.
@@Aaron-MackHartford 2015, he went to prison in 2017 but he's been released since then.
