Johnny Weissmüller (born June 2, 1904 -- January 20, 1984) was a Romanian-born ethnic German, who was one of the world's best swimmers in the 1920s, winning five Gold medals and one Bronze medal. He won fifty-two US National Championships and set sixty-seven World record. After his swimming career, he became the sixth actor to portray in films, a role he played in twelve motion pictures. Dozens of other actors have also played Tarzan, but Weissmuller is by far the best known. His character's distinctive,Tarzan yell is still often used in films.
