Paul Schrier II (born June 1, 1970) is an actor, director, and artist from the United States. In the Power Rangers franchise, he played Farkas “Bulk” Bulkmeier. He played the character for seven seasons, from 1993 to 1999, before returning in 2011 for the eighteenth season of Power Rangers Samurai.
He was the show’s final original cast member to leave. Schrier has also directed a couple Power Rangers episodes, 16 episodes of the Hello Kitty cartoon series, and a short film called “An Easy Thing.” He is also a comic book artist, having contributed to The Red Star. In 2017, he made his animated voice debut as Flonk in Cartoon Network’s Mighty Magiswords.
While Paul’s Farkas “Bulk” Bulkmeier was the longest-serving cast member of the Power Rangers franchise, he was never an actual Power Ranger himself. This was finally addressed in the 2017 web series Power Rangers Hyperforce, when Schrier was appointed as the team’s yellow ranger. Though it is a web series rather than a television show, Saban Entertainment considers Hyperforce to be canon, making Schrier a Ranger in his own right.
