RIP: Actor Ron Ely, one of TV's Tarzans among many other roles

[thewayne]

Ron was 86 and passed at his daughter's house in California. Aside from his run as Tarzan, he was a bit player appearing in many dramas of the '70s and '80s. But my role for him has been and always will be the film Doc Savage: Man of Bronze. While it is solidly a B movie, it is so over the top that it will always have a soft spot in my heart.

Great job, Ron, you certainly earned your rest and lots of respect.

THAT line always makes me grin!  One of my favorite movie lines of all time!  I was going to include it in my original post but didn't, I really should have.
