Jason David Frank has played a plethora of Power Rangers over the years, but there always has to be a favorite...right?

Original Green Ranger Jason David Frank sat down with That Hashtag Show, where they asked him which he preferred more, the White Ranger or the Green Ranger? Your answer may vary depending on when you grew up, and he taking all of that into account.

"Well Green was the first, but what I'm starting to see is generations of kids and people that grew up on the White Ranger. Aaron started the White Ranger Beatdown and I said on the first day "Aaron, why don't we do Green" and he said "No, we're going to do White", and I said "Why don't we do Green", and he's like "I'm a White Ranger fan". He made that White Ranger where I was starting to go around and get noticed like "Dude, you're the White Ranger that beat Scorpion!" That's how big he branded this. So he was a White Ranger fan."

White Ranger fans have come on strong, but there will always be a certain part of the Ranger fandom that loves the Green.

"Green is probably more dominating now because the older fans are, ya know, we probably dominate the age demographics there, being a Green Ranger fan. So Green was definitely really cool for me, but being the White Ranger was exciting as well."

While he acknowledges the White Ranger love, he seems to still favor the original Green. That said, Frank has recently learned a big part of the fandom also loves his Dino Thunder days.

"What's happening now is that 16 to 17-year-old kids, Doctor Oliver, Dino Thunder, Black Dino Thunder," said Frank. "Any other Ranger? Nope, started on Black Dino Thunder and then they have all of the other seasons that I don't really know much about, but it's crazy to see the generations."

The current season of Power Rangers is Ninja Steel, and you can find the description for the season below.

"With the franchise's 24th season, Saban Brands' Power Rangers Ninja Steel starts deep in space, where Galvanax is the reigning champion of the most popular intergalactic game show in the universe in which monsters battle to prove who is the mightiest warrior.
