Paulus Laurentius Schrier II[1] [2] (born June 1, 1970), known professionally as Paul Schrier, is an American actor, director, and artist. He is best known for his role of Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier in the Power Rangers series.[3] He portrayed the character for seven seasons from 1993 to 1999, returning in 2011 for the eighteenth season of Power Rangers Samurai, and was the last original cast member to leave the show. Schrier has also done some directing work, directing a few Power Rangers episodes, 16 episodes of the Hello Kitty animated series, and a short film, "An Easy Thing". He is also an artist, having worked on the comic book The Red Star. In 2017, he starred in his first animation voice role as Flonk in Cartoon Network's Mighty Magiswords.
Schrier remains good friends with his co-star Jason Narvy.
While the longest-serving cast member of the Power Rangers franchise, Paul's Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier was never an official Power Ranger himself. This was finally rectified during the 2017 web series Power Rangers Hyperforce where Schrier was made the team's yellow ranger. Though a web series rather than a television one, Hyperforce is considered canon by series creators Saban Entertainment, thus finally making Schrier a Ranger in his own right.
