There's simply no doubting the love that Wallter Jones got in such a short time as Black Ranger Zack Taylor. None of which has diminished in the almost quarter century since the show first aired and Walter first appeared. Fans still love him, and as he does the circuits of conventions and signings with his co-stars, he's still making knees weak everywhere.
One of our favorite stories about his influence comes from a Star Wars convention that he attended. "This one guy," Walter recalls, "he was probably 24 or 25 years old, and he wasn't standing too far from me, broke down in tears once he knew he was standing right next to me. He was in complete shock that the original Black Power Ranger was right there, right next to him. It like brought him back to his old childhood. The guy came up to me and apologized for crying since it all overwhelmed him. We took a picture and I was so happy that I was able to make a difference in his life and be a kind person."
