1. – Lex Barker, Tarzan’s Magic Fountain, 1949. Sally Fields’ step-father was a top Hollywood stuntman – doubling Errol Flynn, Gregory Peck, John Wayne – who became part of jungle lore. Jock lost out to Barker in succeeding the great Johnny Weissmuller. By 1960, Jock was so impressive as the villain opposite Gordon Scott‘s Tarzan The Magnificent that producer Sy Weintraub asked Jock to succeed Scott as the 11th ape-man in Tarzan Goes To India, 1962. Jock was so ill with dengue fever, dysentery and pneumonia during Tarzan’s Three Challenges, 1963, that he was he was the thinnest loin-cloth star since Herman Brix in the 1930s.
