David Yost reprises his role as Billy Cranston in the "Power Rangers" reunion special.
After leaving "Power Rangers," Yost began to work behind the scenes, becoming a producer on multiple movies and reality TV series. He was even a segment producer on three episodes of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
In 2010, Yost came out as gay during an interview with No Pink Spandex at the Anime Festival in Orlando.
The actor alleged that he walked off set one day because he was called the homophobic F-slur "one too many times."
"I had just heard that several times while working on the show from creators, producers, writers, directors," He said. "Basically I just felt like I was continually being told I was not worthy of being where I am because I'm a gay person. And I'm not supposed to be an actor. And I'm not a superhero."
He added: "I know that my costars were called in a couple times to different producers' offices and questioned about my sexuality, which is kind of a humiliating experience to hear that and to find that out."
One of the producers of the show, Scott Page-Pagter, told TMZ in 2010 that Yost's departure was about not getting paid his bonus.
Yost said that he underwent conversion therapy after leaving the show but this drove him to a nervous breakdown. He was hospitalized for five weeks and then moved to Mexico, where he learned to accept his sexuality.
Yost has also made a recent return to acting, reprising his role as Billy Cranston in "Power Rangers: Dino Fury" and in Netflix's 30th-anniversary special episode, "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always."
He has also made a clothing line based on the series.
