Bruce Bennett Facts
Was the fourth born in a family of five children of an immigrant couple from Germany. His eldest brother and father's favored son, Hermann, died before his birth and was given his middle name in this child's memory. To please his father, by high-school he had discontinued using his own first name, Harold, in favor of his middle name, Herman.

Urban legend has it that Brix was personally selected by _Edgar Rice Burroughs_ to play Tarzan in the independent serial The New Adventures of Tarzan (1935/I). In fact, this notion came from publicity material in the serial''s pressbook. As he told his biographer, Mike Chapman, he only met Burroughs briefly, for a handshake and photo-op, days after he had been chosen and contracted for the part by the serial's producer, _Ashton Dearholt_.

He enjoyed parasailing and skydiving, leaping out 10,000 feet over Lake Tahoe when he was 96.
