Gordon Scott was discovered while lifeguarding at the Las Vegas Sahara Hotel in 1953, and was quickly cast as Hollywood's next Tarzan (usurping the role from predecessor Lex Barker). A statuesque 6'3" with a godlike muscularity, Scott swept up his Jane, Vera Miles, both on and off-screen, and left an indelible mark as Hollywood's hottest savage by beating his chest and letting out that trademark jungle howl. A friend of fellow beefcake Steve Reeves, the two were able to star together as Remus and Romulus in 1961's Duel of the Titans. Where have all these beefcake films gone?
Gordon Scott made a career out of bulking up and taking his shirt off, and it seems all we're left with are these lousy 300 movies. Enter the golden age of Tarzania-mania after the jump.
