St. John's first major role in acting was in 1993 when he was cast as Jason Lee Scott, the Red Ranger in Saban's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. He left the series mid-season two due to a contract and pay dispute. However, he returned as the Gold Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo and as a guest star in the second Power Rangers movie.

His last Power Ranger appearance was in the tenth anniversary episode where he joined nine other Red Rangers in the Power Rangers Wild Force episode "Forever Red". He was once again the original Red Ranger and reunited once again with former castmate Jason David Frank (Tommy Oliver).

According to a 2004 contest held by ABC Family, Austin's character Jason Lee Scott was voted as the greatest Red Ranger of all time. A subsequent Red Ranger contest on Toon Disney in 2007 voted Jason as the most popular Red Ranger of all.
