      RIP. He was in everything. I also remember him as one of the clones in the ice planet Battlestar Galactica episode. I think he was also the Gorton's Fisherman for a brief time.
      It's all good!

          Yes, me was the Gorton's fisherman for many years. He also played Superman in at least one commercial. Miller was noted as the first blonde Tarzan and was an All-American basketball player at UCLA before he started acting. RIP.

              Aw man! He WAS in everything! One that stands out for me was an ep of the Incredible Hulk where he's a football player w/ anger issues, and it turns out he has a brain tumor or something. Great character actor. RIP Denny. Thanks for helping make classic TV great!

                  I remember seeing him in interviews, and he always seemed like a genuinely nice guy. He told a story about how he handled when kids (still . . . or maybe their parents) recognized him as Tarzan and wanted him to do the Tarzan yell . . . his solution was elegant for not letting them down but still keeping up the mystique and fantasy, essentially telling them that if he did do the yell, all the animals from all directions would come running and it would become just a big mess for pthers to have to clean up.

                  I'm saddened to hear this.

                                  He was great in "The Party" with Peter Sellers.

                                      He was great as bad tough guys, I remember him in an episode of Vega$ with Robert Urich, playing a heavy,
                                      loved him as Tongo on Gilligan's Island, RIP Denny.
