* RoleReprisal: On top of being the second-longest returning Power Ranger in the series (the first being Creator/JohnnyYongBosch), he also took up the mantle of Green Ranger once more against [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Ryu]] in ''WebVideo/SuperPowerBeatDown'', as well as playing the White Ranger once again against [[VideoGame/MortalKombat Scorpion]] in the same show.

* ''SweetValleyHigh''

* RemakeCameo: He appeared in ''Film/PowerRangers2017'' as an Angel Grove citizen alongside fellow ''Mighty Morphin[='=]'' alum Creator/AmyJoJohnson.

* ''Series/FamilyMatters''

* RealMenLoveJesus: Jason's wife brought him along to church after the death of his brother, Eric Ray Frank. The experience really helped Jason, enabling him to develop faith which has been a source of strength for him ever since. Now he has an MMA clothing line called Jesus Didn't Tap and tattoos to match.

* LongRunnerCastTurnover: Jason was the main reason that this happened during ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''. He wanted out, so they sent everyone else, but Blake Foster with him. [[note]]Rumor has it that Catherine Sutherland also wanted out, but she has since claimed that she was just surprised as everyone else.[[/note]]

* {{Badass}}: He's a real life Martial Artist, and he has competed in MMA.

* TheCastShowoff: Tommy had '''a lot''' of sparring scenes in the early ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' episodes.

* CastTheExpert: Even Jason himself will tell you that he's a martial artist first and an actor second.
* DawsonCasting: Frank was 20 when he first started playing Tommy on ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers''. Not much of a stretch considering the original story had the characters as seniors, but Jason was going on 24 when his character finally graduated.
* DisownedAdaptation: He's stated while he's open to a PG-13 verison of ''Power Rangers'', he's not fond of the hard-R fan film/parody ''Power/Rangers'', which was intended as a TakeThat to the idea of a darker version of the series.

* IAmNotLeonardNimoy: Jason full-on embraces this trope. He'll always be known as the original Green Ranger, occasionally White or Red, and he's completely fine with that. Take one look at his Facebook and you'd think it was a fan page for the character, not the actor.
** He also had suits made for the green and white rangers, to wear at conventions.
** Humorously, a defeated MMA opponent said in a post-match interview, [[CherryTapping "He could have at least morphed before he took me on."]]

* NoStuntDouble: According to his ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'' cast mates: there are the stunt doubles and there is Jason Frank. He also begged to do a rapids stunt in the ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'' movie to the stunt double's approval. [[note]]His stunt double only did the actual jump. Everything in the water was Jason.[[/note]]
** StuntDouble: After the rapids stunt, he became less eager to do his own high risk stuff, and during his last episode of ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'', Tommy becomes magically Asian during wide shots of a car explosion.
*** Also people have asked if he did his own skydiving stunt in the film. He said he didn't because Sky surfing is incredibly dangerous and very few people actually do it himself not included. He's reportedly looking for someone to teach him though.
** TalentDouble: JDF has specifically called out his snowboarding double from ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'', who Jason himself picked, because the double was '''worse''' than he was.

* RealLifeRelative: Jason's son, Jacob was cast in a season two episode of ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers''. Two seasons afterward his late-brother Eric played David, Tommy's brother, in ''Series/PowerRangersZeo''.

* SoMyKidsCanWatch: The main reason Jason returned for ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'' was because of his daughter (Apparently he also did it because of ratings issues, at least according to WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers).
* SuddenlyEthnicity: After he became Suddenly Native American on ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', and the fact that he actually looks it, Jason pulls off Suddenly '''''Not''''' Native American in real life.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Jason was originally slated to star in ''Series/VRTroopers'', then titled ''Cybertron'', before popularity brought him back to ''Franchise/PowerRangers''.
** One of the producers on ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', Jonathan Tzachor, wanted Tommy to die just like his counterpart in ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger''. He was overruled by his superiors (and presumably Fox Kids broadcast standards and practices)
* WrittenInAbsence: Both times Tommy lost his powers on ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', Jason Frank was more or less just written out of the show until he was written back in. [[note]]The original intention was for him to be written out. Frank even shot a pilot for another Saban show that would become V.R. troopers. The original plan would have seen Brad Hawkins play a new character as the white ranger. Saban decided to write Frank back in as the white ranger instead and Hawkins ended up doing V.R. Troopers.[[/note]] Then on ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', Jason had more time off than his cast mates (to work at his karate school), so his character became stuck in his Ranger suit.
