It is mistakenly thought that Lincoln's performance as Tarzan in Tarzan of the Apes (1918) was the first time the character ever appeared on screen. Technically, this is wrong. The first actor to play Tarzan in a movie was Gordon Griffith who appears in Tarzan of the Apes (1918), playing the character as a child before Lincoln appears on screen.
