Tarzan co-director Kevin Lima told Entertainment Weekly he chose Tony Goldwyn for the voice of the shirtless jungle hero after sitting through countless auditions (including two from Brendan Fraser) thanks to his "animal sense." As is the norm for Disney voice actors, Goldwyn would return to the role in video games, including Kingdom Hearts.
In recent years, Goldwyn has become better known as one third of the love triangle on Scandal, where he played POTUS Fitz Grant. Surprisingly, the show is the first in which Goldwyn — who has appeared on shows Without a Trace, The L Word and Dexter, among others — was a series regular. Goldwyn told Fansided "getting to play a character like Fitz and being part of a show like this in my fifties surprised me. Especially a character that's sort of a sex symbol..."
Scandal wrapped up its seven-season run in 2018, freeing Goldwyn up to hit the stage in Broadway's Network, opposite Bryan Cranston, and Netflix's upcoming series Chambers, starring Uma Thurman.
