Denny Miller (b. April 25, 1934) is an American actor, perhaps best known
for his role as "Tongo the Ape Man" on Gilligan's Island and as Tarzan in
the 1950s. Miller was a basketball star at UCLA, where his father was a
physical education instructor. In his senior year, while working as a
furniture mover to pay for school, he was discovered on Sunset Boulevard by
a Hollywood agent who signed him with MGM. He became the first blond Tarzan
in Tarzan, the Ape Man (1959)), a cheapie/quickie which lifted most of its
footage from earlier Johnny Weissmuller movies.

MGM had him under contract for 20 months; in that time, he worked 8 weeks as
Tarzan.
After that, he did guest spots on a number of TV series, finally becoming a
regular on "Wagon Train" (1957) as Duke Shannon (his name was then Scott
Miller). In 1965-6, he starred (as Denny again) with Juliet Prowse in TV's
"Mona McCluskey" (1965) series. |
