Ninja Storm was an important Power Rangers season for me.
It was the first one that hit every note I could want in a show. Corny, action-packed, funny, dramatic, witty.And it all relied on an amazing cast and crew.
Gonna miss you Pua Magasiva. Bless you, wherever you are. pic.twitter.com/xURSOJCTW9— Elvis Dutan (@the_snickman) May 11, 2019
A South Pacific Pictures spokesperson has confirmed Pua’s death to the New Zealand Herald. However, they did not give any further comment.
Pua was known for playing Red Wind Ranger Shane Clarke in Power Rangers Ninja Storm, the eleventh season in the Power Rangers franchise.
He also went on to act in a few soap operas and was a co-host in a breakfast show for a radio channel.
