Denny Miller came to campus for the Tarzan Centennial conference this past weekend. He has been working as an actor for many decades and has worked in television shows, movies and commercials. His most popular work was as Tarzan, The Ape Man in 1959. Although I am not familiar with any of his work because he was popular way before I was born, I did enjoy having dinner with him. He told us stories about how he got into acting. He was originally planning on being a basketball coach and then before he knew it he was swept up into the acting world and working on shows like Gilligan's Island and Charlie's Angels.
He is not only an actor but also has a career in fitness training. He has written many books about ways to stay fit but without being in pain. He has used his career as Tarzan to promote his fitness career.
Unfortunately, I can't explain how I feel about him because he wasn't an inspiring speaker or teaching us a lesson. He was very interesting but because he hasn't influenced my life at all, I don't feel any connection to the man.
