Tarzan's Fimmel Faddle
Me Tarzan, you conned. Underwear model Travis Fimmel, who plays the lord of the jungle in the new WB series, has admitted stuffing his tightly whities for the head-turning Calvin Klein campaign that made him a star. "At one point the cameraman was looking for his camera and I pulled it out of his pants," he jokes in the July 12 TV Guide. These days, Fimmel is more modest about his assets-- at the photo shoot for the TV Guide story, he refused to take his shirt off. "He said he wanted to be taken seriously as an actor," says a source on the shoot. "The magazine had to buy a shirtless picture from a photo agency to use on the cover." Fimmes's rep said he wouldn't disrobe for the pictures because he wasn't in character as Tarzan.

Mitch about his character
Former X-Files star Mitch Pileggi describes his new Tarzan character — Richard Clayton — as being "much more complex than Skinner."

More about "Tarzan"
During a meeting on Thursday at which WB executives discussed their fall programs, he announced that "Tarzan and Jane" would henceforth be called merely `Tarzan." He said he and the producers, including Laura Ziskin, for whom he worked as an intern, decided to redirect the central element of the show away from Tarzan's relationship with a female New York City detective (Jane).
