The official order of Tarzan portrayers puts Weissmuller 6th -
Elmo Lincoln
Gene Polar
Kamuela Searles
James H. Pierce
Frank Merrill
Johnny Weismuller
Buster Crabbe
Johnny Weismuller
Buster Crabbe played a variety of Tarzan and heavy-action actor roles ranging from Tarzan to Captain Gallant of the Foreign Legion- in the fifties. He was also in science fiction films as, I believe one of the early Buck Rogers actors. He was never as popular as Johnny Weismuller- who also did the character Jungle Jim.
Johnny Weismuller
Elmo Lincoln was the first to play Tarzan as an adult in the silent film, Tarzan of the Apes (1918). However, Gordon Griffith appeared earlier in this film portraying Tarzan as a child. So, technically, the answer is Gordon Griffith.
Johnny Knoxville
Patrick Swayze portrayed Johnny Castle in the 1987 movie.
