[edit] Career
[edit] Power Rangers
He is probably best known for his work on the former, serving as a writer, director, and supervising producer until leaving the show about halfway through Power Rangers: Turbo in 1997. He went on to eventually find himself at Disney, where he worked on several TV movies (the most well-known of which was Johnny Tsunami) and was later chosen for another tour of duty with Power Rangers as co-executive producer (with Ann Austen) for 2003's Power Rangers: Ninja Storm.
He stayed on for another year (2004's Power Rangers: Dino Thunder) before leaving the show (along with Austen). Sloan stated prior to his departure he would not be returning to Power Rangers, though that remains to be seen.

Upon his return, he became heavily active within the Power Rangers community, posting on the fan board Rangerboard.com under the aliases "nsbigcheese", and later "Dino Dude". Sloan's visits frequently resulted in feedback and strong interaction with the community. Since then, many other cast and crew members have followed.
[edit] Onscreen appearances
Sloan has also appeared onscreen in Power Rangers. He has guest-starred as Kimberly's Uncle Steve, a reporter, and Kimberly's stepfather too. He also voiced Prince Gasket in Power Rangers: Zeo, although he wasn't credited for the role.
In the original pilot pitch for VR Troopers, then called Cybertron, Sloan played the father of the main character Adam Steele (PR alum Jason David Frank).
