David Yost (that’s Billy Cranston/Blue Ranger to you and me) has recently admitted that he was discriminated against because of his sexuality.

The actor, now 41, says he quit Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers because he felt he was harassed.

“I was called ‘faggot’ one too many times [by the show’s] creators, producers, writers, directors,” he said.

“I know that my costars were called in a couple of times to different producers’ offices and questioned about my sexuality, which is kind of a humiliating experience to find that out.”

David also claims that things got so bad on the show that he became “worried that I might take my own life.”

He has now decided to act again, after taking a break from the screen.
