Nico's answer on how he got the role for Power Rangers Ninja Steel:
I have a bit of a different story. I was in Japan working on a job and it was funny because Power Rangers [and Super Sentai] is so big in Japan, there were signs everywhere – I thought this was going to be great, and so serendipitous. And then I got the call that I didn’t get the role. And it was fine, I was working on a job at the time, so I tried not to think about it much. Eventually I just blocked it out of my memory and moved on with my life. About a month later, I get a call from my agent who asks what I’m doing for the next 9 months. Then I got the call that I had to move to New Zealand in 2 days. So I literally packed up my life and left, and I was a bit afraid knowing I was coming into a cast who had known each other for 3 weeks already, but it was surreal. It happened really fast, and it was great. And here we all are. It’s cool that we all have such individual stories too.

Also interesting bit Shewfelt was born in May 1995 shortly before the movie was released and would have been in diapers during season 3. Why even assume MMPR is his favorite? He actually ends up saying Ninja Storm which yeah....he was 8 when that one aired. Not saying MMPR couldn't be his favorite but why just assume that's their default answer? We're now getting Power Ranger actors who would have been growing up on the later seasons anyways.
