Bruce Bennett Facts
Brix was MGM's choice to play Tarzan in Tarzan the Ape Man (1932) but lost the role when he suffered a separated shoulder from a tackle in the sports film Touchdown (1931). Johnny Weissmuller became a big star when he won the role. Bruce recuperated and did get to play "Tarzan" in the low-budget indie serial The New Adventures of Tarzan (1935/I).

Urban legend has it that Brix was personally selected by _Edgar Rice Burroughs_ to play Tarzan in the independent serial The New Adventures of Tarzan (1935/I). In fact, this notion came from publicity material in the serial''s pressbook. As he told his biographer, Mike Chapman, he only met Burroughs briefly, for a handshake and photo-op, days after he had been chosen and contracted for the part by the serial's producer, _Ashton Dearholt_.

He won a silver medal in the 1928 Olympics for the shot put.
