Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

He seemed to have the look and the long hair. I wonder if Saban Entertainment panicked once JDF was gone and wanted someone like the Tommy character in there?

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

I don't think so. Andros was his own character and acted very different from Tommy.

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

He definitely ended up standing on his own. But I can't help but notice he had long air like Tommy. That can't be a coincidence.

Saban was too cheap to bring back the real JDF so he tried to recreate his own.

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

I don't really see any similarities between the characters. Andros was far more aloof and broody. Tommy really wasn't beyond feelling bad about the things he did under Rita's control or losing his powers. But he had nothing on Andros, who had to learn how to work as a team with the Space Rangers. I don't think either had anything to do with the other. Besides both being Red Rangers and having long hair.

What exactly is a Tommy?

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

Yeah I think the long hair was just a coincidence.

He was a poor one if thats what they were going for. Andros and Ashley just couldn't replace Kim and Tommy.

For a second there I thought the op was gonna say he was literally a clone lol.

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

God help us if they started to clone the great Tommy.

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

I can see where they were trying to recapture what hey had with Tommy. But Andros ended up being a very different character.

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

I could see where they went with an actor with a similar look. Perhaps thinking maybe they could make lightening strike twice. But I also agree he was a very different character from Tommy. So props to the writers.

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

I never liked Andros. Seemed too emo to me. But thats just me. Of course I was also pissed TJ got demoted.

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

are you kidding me with this? Any fan would know that JDF left because he wanted to be done with the show at that time. Money had nothing to do with it

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

Every decision doesn't come down to money. The older cast wasn't going to stay around much longer. It was inevitable that they would leave somehow.

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

As Doug Sloan said about himself, he probably didn't want them to put down that he was in Power Rangers on his tombstone. In other words he wanted to do other things too.

Re: Was Andros a Tommy clone?
 

Long air was a nineties thing. I think that had more to do with it then them finding a new Tommy
