From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Genelle played Ernie on Power Rangers from 1993 to 1996. His character was the owner of the Angel Grove Youth Center, before lending it to Jerome Stone played by Gregg Bullock, the most popular hang out spot for the teens of Angel Grove. He is generous and good-natured, often giving out free drinks and food for special occasions, and helping out his customers if they need it. But all of a sudden he abruptly left the Youth Center to do emergency volunteer work in South America (this was revealed by Jerome Stone during the Turbo season in 1997). But in real Life, Genelle left after Power Rangers Zeo due to weight & health problems. His last appearance in Power Rangers was at the very end of Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.
He is now going through medical treatment for obesity and addiction to cigarettes.
