Walter Emanuel Jones is also into martial arts and practices tae-kwon-do. His left hand is missing the middle finger, which he lost in an accident when he was four years old. Walter’s other notable works include I Love the ’90s, Malibu Shores, Fear Itself, Brink!, and The Shield. The Shield was a Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning film. There is no information about his personal life or relationships. Walter appears to keep his personal life to himself.

Life and work

Jones was born in the city of Detroit, Michigan. At the age of four, he lost the middle finger on his left hand. He began his career as an uncredited extra on the hit TV show Beverly Hills, 90210. He appeared in the film Malcolm X in 1992.

Jones portrayed Zack Taylor, the first “Black Power Ranger” in the Power Rangers series. After a contract and pay dispute, he was written out of the series midway through the second season, and Johnny Yong Bosch took over as the Black Ranger. Jones returned to Power Rangers in the Lost Galaxy season (1999), where he voiced Hexuba’s Nightmare Monster in the episode “Dream Battle”; he also appeared in Forever Red, an episode of Power Rangers: Wild Force (2002) in which many previous Red Rangers teamed up.

Again, he did not appear as his original character, Zack, but rather as one of the antagonists, a Machine Empire general named Gerrok. He was also one of the special commentators on the “1993” episode of I Love the ’90s, along with fellow co-star Amy Jo Johnson. He also reunited with Austin St. John (with whom he formed a close friendship during their time on the show) as co-host for “The Lost Episode,” a special airing of Power Rangers’ original pilot episode.

Jones was the first actor to do voice work for any character other than a Ranger (usually monsters or villains) on a Power Rangers show after playing a Ranger himself. Following Jones, other former Rangers who did voice work included Archie Kao, Catherine Sutherland, Jason Faunt, Valerie Vernon, Sean Cw Johnson, and Johnny Yong Bosch.
