Power Rangers Dino Charge, The Maze Runner and the Asian American Presence: Yoshi Sudarso, Ki Hong Lee & Shane Daniels

YOSI SUDARSO KI HONG LEE DYLAN O’BRIEN SHANE DANIELS

When Halloween comes around this year thousands of kids across America will be dressed up in blue as Yoshua Sudarso collecting candy. Why? Because the Power Ranger franchise is as strong as ever and “Yoshi” is in New Zealand morphing into the role of the new Blue Power Ranger in DINO CHARGE. He will be their hero. Over 1000 young actors and actresses showed off their fight skills, gymnastic flips, dance moves, and acting skills during the months of auditions and callbacks until only Yoshi was left as the new Power Ranger in blue for DINO CHARGE.

And while Yoshi is filming, his presence at home remains high because THE MAZE RUNNER hits theaters today with another up and coming Asian American actor in a supporting role, Ki Hong Lee, as the character Minho. While you may struggle to see Yoshi in the film, you have to look closely because he is Ki Hong Lee’s stunt double in the film! And like a late night commercial that keeps sweetening the pot, there is more Asian American presence in THE MAZE RUNNER in the form of lead actor Dylan O’Brien’s stunt double, Shane Daniels. All that to describe a behind the scenes photo from THE MAZE RUNNER.
