Trivia
St. John left the show midway through the second season, and was replaced by Steve Cardenas (Rocky). Thuy Trang and Walter Emmanuel Jones left the show along with him. He later returned for a while as the Gold Ranger in Power Rangers: Zeo for a short time, and also in Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (along with Amy Jo Johnson). It was Cardenas, not St. John, that played the role of the Red Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Austin St. John returned to the Power Rangers several years later (in a 30-minute special Power Rangers: The Lost Episode in which he co-starred with Jones, and Power Rangers: Wild Force) to reprise his role in the episode Forever Red. He also appeared in the 1998 film Expose, which flopped at the box office.
St. John is of German, Native American, Irish, Japanese, Italian, and Spanish descent and his hometown is in Roswell, New Mexico.
Austin St. John graduated from Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton, California. He maintains a close friendship with Walter Emanuel Jones to this day.
He also attended W.T. Woodson High School in Fairfax, Virginia for a year.
He attended the funeral for his fellow MMPR Cast member Thuy Trang
