Description
Johnny Weissmuller (born Johann Peter Weißmüller; June 2, 1904 – January 20, 1984) was an Austro-Hungarian-born American swimmer and actor. Weissmuller was one of the world's best swimmers in the 1920s, winning five Olympic gold medals and one bronze medal. He won fifty-two US National Championships and set sixty-seven world records. After his swimming career, he became the sixth actor to portray Tarzan in films, a role he played in twelve motion pictures. Dozens of other actors have also played Tarzan, but Weissmuller is by far the best known.

Very good model/subject choice, brillant idea to use an "historical" chararacter and actor while also giving info about him.
I like old blury TV look and the subtle touch of green in there.
Seriously I just can't find the right word to express how much I'm impressed, I tried but it's weak compared to the felling behind my words *o*
