The Staffa Corner Podcast

Episode 66

Guest: Jason Faunt

On this episode of the Staffa Corner Podcast, we sit down with actor Jason Faunt to unpack a remarkable journey of reinvention. Jason shares how a promising college athlete handled being cut from pro ball, rebuilt his identity, and found his true path in acting by ignoring conventional wisdom and learning from the ground up.

We dive deep into the Power Rangers chapter, where Jason discusses the reality behind a modestly paid role that became a career-launching engine, opening doors to global conventions and a fandom that transcends nostalgia. The conversation turns personal as we explore An Old Friend, the short film that mirrored his grief after losing his father and changed his perspective on the medium. Finally, Jason offers a frank look at the state of Hollywood, from streaming’s content flood to the need for more Good Will Hunting-style bets on original talent, and teases his new projects: Legend of the White Dragon, suiting up as Batman, and the animated Brush Brigade.
