Product Description:
"Please Don't Call Me Tarzan" is the story of the fascinating life of Herman Brix/Bruce Bennett --- from the lumber camps of Washington to the Olympic Games to the Hollywood scene of the 1930s, '40s, '50s and '60s.
The book takes the reader through Herman's exciting life...and to Guatemala, where he struggles not only to become the screen's eighth Tarzan, but to stay alive in primitive conditions.
Herman Brix is considered by many Tarzan fans to be the best film apeman ever, due to the great physical presence and dignity he brought to the role. There are over 90 photos in the book, many of them never seen before by the general public, and behind-the-scenes stories of working with stars like Humphrey Bogart ("Sahara" and "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre").
The book also includes a foreword by Danton Burroughs, the grandson of Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs.
This book "enthusiastialy endorses Brix as the ultimate Tarzan, but also details his subsequent -- and important -- film career as well," says Jack Bender, nationally-known artist who draws the syndicated Alley Oop comic strip. "This makes a really good read, and is supplemented by many rarely-seen photos. The beautiful dust jacket is bound to become a collector's item."

Book contains very little description of Bennett's quality films or analysis of them - concentrating only on the Tarzan films and serials. Much of the bio is written like a fanclub puffery piece - painting Bennett as a superhero. Numerous photos sections, from private holdings, are excellent and worth the price of the book - if not the main reason to do so.

This publication is a comprehensive life story of Herman Brix/Bruce Bennett. This book contains professional and personal photos reflecting the athlete and actor through his life and career that spanned 90 years from a seven year old boy to 2001. Well presented and very interesting.

Michael Chapman has done a magnificent job of compiling the pictorial biography of BRUCE BENNETT, a highly accomplished actor and athlete, whose life spans nearly a century. We can all learn from such a man, and I salute Mr. Chapman for giving us this chance to explore the life and times of a hitherto unrecognized American superstar.

Mike Chapman is a disciple of the work ethic, strong character and Tarzan. In Herman Brix/Bruce Bennett, he found a person associated with all three elements, and the book Mike produced, Please Don't Call Me Tarzan, reflects that. Mike enthusiatically endorses Brix as the ultimate Tarzan, but also details his subsequent--and important--film career as well. This makes a really good read, and is supplemented by many rarely-seen photos. The beautiful dust jacket is bound to become a collectors item ... Read More

Please Don't Call Me Tarzan is the story of Bruce Bennett a Hollywood survivor for forty years. He starred in several major Hollywood films, but somehow that elusive goal of super stardom stayed out of his reach. He was a handsome, versatile actor and why he didn't obtain his goal his anyone's guess. This book finds some of the answers. Bruce Bennett was born Herman Brix in Tacoma, Washington in 1906 and we follow his teenage life in the rugged lumber camps of that state, where he developed his work ... Read More
