Mar 4, 2024 · Tarzan, the iconic King of the Jungle, has been portrayed by various actors in movies and TV series over the years. The film adaptations of Edgar Burroughs' bestselling Tarzan series have had varying degrees of success in terms of critical and audience reception.
- ELMO LINCOLN. Lincoln was the very first actor to take on the feral character, who was created by Edgar Rice Burroughs and first appeared in the writer's 1912 publication Tarzan of the Apes.
- FRANK MERRILL. After performing stunts for Elmo Lincoln in The Adventures of Tarzan, Merrill nabbed the starring role in 1928's Tarzan the Mighty. The actor, who was also an award-winning gymnast and a police officer, went on to lead the cast of 1929's Tarzan the Tiger.
- JOHNNY WEISSMULLER. Like Frank Merrill, Weissmuller had an athletic background that helped him prepare to play the brawny character. The five-time Olympic gold-medalist swimmer played Tarzan in a whopping 12 films, beginning with the 1932 smash hit Tarzan the Ape Man.
- HERMAN BRIX. Brix, who later changed his name to Bruce Bennett, was actually cast before Weissmuller to play Tarzan in 1932, but broke his shoulder before filming began.
The list includes all the movies with different actors in the role of Tarzan. Among them, Elmo Lincoln, Herman Brix, Lex Barker, Buster Crabbe, Johnny Weissmuller, Gordon Scott, Ron Ely and others.
