Goldar (known as Flydar in the pilot episode) is a fictional character from the television series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. A powerful yet overconfident warrior that serves under the command of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd, he is one of the chief antagonists of the titular protagonists in the show's first three seasons. Goldar is based on the Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger villain Grifforzar (also spelled as Grifforzer or Griforza by some sources).[1][2]
Goldar has been portrayed by numerous actors: in the Sentai footage repurposed for the Power Rangers, the Japanese actors who physically portrayed the character were Takashi Sakamoto for non-action scenes and Kazutoshi Yokoyama for battle sequences; while in original footage produced by Saban Entertainment, Goldar was physically portrayed by Danny Wayne Stallcup for the first two seasons, and by David Wald and several other actors during season three. Goldar is voiced by Kerrigan Mahan in every major adaptation of the show since the franchise's inception until the 2007 video game Power Rangers: Super Legends where the character is voiced by Nolan North.[1]
A reimagined version of Goldar is voiced by Fred Tatasciore in the 2017 reboot film. A more powerful and reincarnated version of Goldar known as Goldar Maximus appears in two episodes of Season 2 of Power Rangers Beast Morphers, voiced by Paul Harrop and Adrian Smith respectively.
Various merchandise for the character, as with other of the series' characters, has been released since the inception of the Power Rangers franchise.
