Robert Axelrod, the veteran character actor best known for voicing Lord Zedd and Finster in the long-running kids TV show “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” died Saturday at age 70, his agent announced on Twitter.
In addition to the villain Lord Zedd and the monster maker Finster in the “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” series (and 1995 movie), Axelrod also voiced characters like Armadillomon and Wizardmon in the “Digimon” anime series.
Axelrod got his start as a guitarist in the early 1970s before moving into voice work in TV and film. According to his agent, he created more than 150 characters during the course of his career.

How does a person stumble into a job like voicing a kids show?

Power Ranger kids were always fricking weirdos

I don’t think I realized how ridiculous and badass Zedd looked when I was a kid.

But Bobby Axelrod from Billions is still kicking so I’m good.
RIP Mr. Voice guy.

Bryan Cranston did voices for the monsters on Power Rangers.
And apparently bullied David Yost.

It never occurred to me just how perfectly diverse the original 5 cast was. Red was the macho white guy, Pink was the ditzy white girl, Yellow was... Asian (lol), Black was... Black (they didn't think either of these through when casting, obviously.)
So I guess we didn't know it at the time but Blue was meant to be the gay one. I mean, as kids we always kinda just 'knew' there was something up with him and how strange is that looking back now?
