Maybe someone out there can help me.
Does anyone know the name of the actor who made
only one Tarzan Movie.  I can't remember the name
of the movie or the actor, however, I do know that
the plot of the movie evolved around a little boy
who became separated from his tribe and an explorer
name Louis found him.  There was a villian who
kidnaps the boy, because of a medallion he wears
around his neck.

Thanx,

what about the recent Bo Derick vehicle, 'Tarzan of the Apes'? Is this Tarzan
actor on your list? (yeah, I know, it wasn't *really* a Tarzan movie, but for
those complete-ists out there . . . . . .)
