Ron Ely, famous for playing Tarzan in the original series, played a villain named Gordon Shaw in the first-season episode “Tarzan the Hunted”.

One of them was Sudan of Thousand Oaks, California's Animal Actors of Hollywood.

He would subsequently perform as a stunt double for the Bowmanville Zoo's two lions, Caesar and Bongo, for Paramount's The Ghost and the Darkness.
