During a previous interview with Rao, we talked about how she feels about playing the franchise’s first LGBTQ+ Ranger, and she couldn’t be more exciting to be a part of this major moment in the franchise.
“It means a lot,” said Rao. “It’s definitely this acting. It’s this story that made me, and still makes me want to do this job.” “It’s one of the most powerful things we can do as artists is to tell the stories of people who are not told at all or right or enough, and there are a lot of stories like that, not just these. So I guess for me that has to be mine. My first big role has such an important part like that… I don’t think it’s the only part of Izzy that’s important, I think it’s just a part of who she is, but I can also totally respect and appreciate how important this moment is, and I’m really proud. I feel so proud to be part of it.”
