Jason Patrick Faunt is an American actor who is best known for the role of the rich Wesley Collins in Power Rangers Time Force, as well as that of Alex, the former Red Time Force Ranger. He grew up in Chicago and due to his athletic dexterity in high school, he used a partial baseball scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina at Asheville, where he studied for his business degree. Originally, he was going to become a Major League Baseball player after graduating but moved to Los Angeles instead to pursue an acting career.
The big move worked out well for Faunt, as he has been able to carve out a career using both his strong athleticism and love for acting. He was discovered by filmmaker David DeCoteau and flown to Romania for a small part in the horror hit Witchouse. DeCoteau was so impressed with Faunt’s work that he offered him the lead on his next movie Totem right on the set, both in 1999.
He is most remembered for his role in Power Rangers after starring in 40 episodes in Power Rangers Time Force, a further three episodes a year later in Power Rangers Wild Force. He also made an appearance in 2014 in Power Rangers Super Mega Force and again in 2018 in three episodes in Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel – proving he is a beloved character to the franchise.
