Nic Sampson was a Power Ranger, wrote for Starstruck and Junior Taskmaster, brought a one-man show about being a Power Ranger to London's Soho Theatre, and is still working out how to explain all of that in a single sentence.

Nic Sampson is a New Zealand actor, comedian, and writer known for his role as the Yellow Mystic Ranger in Power Rangers Mystic Force, his comedy work on Funny Girls and Jono and Ben, and his writing contributions to Starstruck. His autobiographical stage show, Yellow Power Ranger, played at London's Soho Theatre.
