Robert Axelrod AKA Lord Zedd From POWER RANGERS is Dealing with Complications from Surgery

Power Rangers fans, I have some rough news. Robert Axelrod, the man who played Lord Zedd and Rita’s henchmonster Finster in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, is in trouble. He apparently had back surgery recently and has been suffering some complications since. The original (and my personal favorite) Red Ranger, Austin St. John and Jason David Frank have both tried to help raise awareness of a GoFundMe campaign designed to help Axelrod. At the time of writing, the campaign has raised $8,000 out of its $10,000 goal in about 3 days. Here’s the messages from John and Frank:

Robert, I hope you feel better soon. You’ve always been a good person and friend. I’ve donated to your cause and passing it on to my fans. You’ll always be Lord Zedd. https://t.co/7OlQB57Au2 https://t.co/7OlQB57Au2

And here’s the text of the GoFundMe. I have included a link to the campaign above if you feel so inclined.

“Iconic villain, Robert Axelrod who voiced Lord Zedd & Finster in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers recently had a major back operation. Unfortunately he suffered complications from the surgery. He is currently recovering and unable to work. Please donate what you can to aide Robert during this difficult time.
