In the jungle and not always so quiet jungle is where Tarzan the Ape Man lived. Johnny Weissmuller won five Olympic gold medals for swimming and one bronze medal for water polo. After retiring from competition, he became the sixth actor to portray Tarzan, a role he played in twelve feature films. Dozens of other actors have played Tarzan, but Weissmuller is by far the best known.
