I met him at a convention. He was surprisingly short (edit: google says he’s 5’8. I find it hard to believe, I remember being surprised at his height. I felt he was at least 8 inches shorter than me at 6ft). Me and my buds asked him why he didn’t continue with power rangers and he said he wasn’t a fan of the violence and wanted to do less violent things. This was before I had found out about the homophobia. I wonder if he was being genuine about his stated reason.

The bullying was violence.
