Johnny Weissmuller - Me Tarzan, you Jane
Mel Blanc - voice actor of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Sylvester, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, the Tasmanian Devil and others

Most of the guys you listed would be on my list, too.
Anybody mention Jimmy Stewart? Alan Rickman. John Wick :D , Riddick 8-)

These days, females actresses are now just called actors:

Katharine Hepburn, Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Helen Mirren, Anjelica Huston, Judi Dench.

Love your Western group, Mesully11 :!:

Believe Johnny Weissmuller was a better swimmer than actor. He was a world record holder as well as winning five Olympic gold medals.

True. He also trained U.S. Marines, with water drills, diving, swimming, breath control, etc. "Twice a week over a two-year period during the war, he trained Marines in San Pedro, California, by demonstrating how to make high-falling escape dives and how to swim in water enflamed with oil or gasoline." Born Hungarian, but a true American.

Weissmuller is also credited with saving many lives from boating accidents with his swimming skills and bravery.

And no, he wasn't a great actor, pretty stiff........but when you're raised by gorillas and chimpanzees.........what do you expect?
Give him a break ;) .

He's my other life hero.
