Tarzan To The Rescue
While they have to put up with intense heat and stay in character for the duration of their shift, it seems as though that’s not all the cast members get up to. Although many of the actors who don these character suits become heroes and valiant knights, one particular character really did save the day on one occasion.
While watching the parade make its way through the Magic Kingdom, a child inadvertently fell into the water around Tom Sawyer Island. Naturally, his mother couldn’t believe what was happening, so she screamed out in shock and in the hope that someone would rescue him.
When Tarzan heard the scream, he immediately jumped off the parade float he was on and jumped into the water to save the boy. Amazingly, he didn’t even break character! He told the mom to, “Keep boy safe… Tarzan very brave. But everybody can be hero.”
