Raised as one of her own, Tarzan grows up with the gorillas, learning their language and behaviors. He later discovers his human identity and the English language through interactions with a human, Jane Porter. The dynamic between Tarzan's wild upbringing and his inherent human nature forms the core of his character. Tarzan's impact on popular culture cannot be overstated. The character has been portrayed by numerous actors over the years, with some of the most notable being Douglas Fairbanks in the 1928 silent film "Tarzan of the Apes," Johnny Weissmuller in the 1932 talkie "Tarzan the Ape Man," and more recently by Tony Goldwyn in "Tarzan" (1999) and Alexander Skarsgård in "The Legend of Tarzan" (2016).
