It's kind of bonkers to me that both Johnny Weissmuller and Buster Crabbe were both gold medal winners at the Olympics (Weissmuller in 1924 & '28, Crabbe in '32) for swimming, but those achievements are almost entirely forgotten behind their careers in serials playing pulp heroes. And while Crabbe is better known for playing Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon, both men had stints portraying Tarzan!
