Don't forget to ask them using the PARTICIPATE IN EVENT button.

Question: I have every PR episode on tape. Have we seen the Phantom Ranger as a past ranger?

EA Selwyn: I don't think so. When it comes to that, we know about as much as the audience does. He's just the guy in the black leather suit.

Question: Do you do all your own stunts? Are you really a black belt? (MomoMania)

EA Selwyn: Actually, I'm not a black belt. I did take Kwon Doe.

Question: Are you the one in the Blue Lightstar Ranger costume during the battle scenes, or is it a stunt double? (Mr Mister)

EA Selwyn: A little of both. When you see my face, it's me.

Question: Do you like PR Turbo or space?

EA Selwyn: They are two different things. I like both really. Space is really fun. They're just different. We're growing along with the show. In the space,we're all kind of confident.

Question: Hi this is Timo. Do you like working with your fellow cast members on Power Rangers? (Timo82)

EA Selwyn: I do. I have no complaints. Everyone is pretty cool. We're like a little family. We have long days, and we have each other for support. Chris is the new guy, but he's been falling into place nicely.

Question: How was it doing that BlackStreet video? How did you get the part? (KBurnette)

EA Selwyn: That was fun. It was a lucky thing. The director just picked me from the other extras.

Question: My name is Erin McCorkle. I am a big fan. I now Run The Power Rangers Online News Letter. I was wondering if you rcvd a interview from a crew member named Tony Monger.

EA Selwyn: No, not really. We're in the dark too.

Question: Many parents don't let the kids watch the show cause of the fighting. What do you think?

Question: My name is Sean and I am 4 and I love the power rangers. Are you ever going to come to Richmond VA? (Tyler326)
