Lex Barker and Gordon Scott. Johnny Sheffield was "Boy". Tarzan actors depend on the era you are searching for.

There was also Buster Crabb. Johnny Weismuller also played Jungle Jim.

I thought Buster Crab played Flash Gordon

I think you're right, I just googled the question "which actors have played Tarzan" and that was one of the names that came up.
