VOICE OF TARZAN GETS CHOKED IN NAME OF ART

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- When actor Tony Goldwyn was hired to be the voice of "Tarzan" for the upcoming Disney flick, he figured it would be more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Turns out, it was but it was also more strenuous than he expected. According to "Boxoffice" magazine, Goldwyn had to jump around and "act like an idiot" in the recording studio in order to get his voice to reflect Tarzan's physicality. Even worse, while recording one fight scene, Goldwyn asked the director to squeeze his neck so he could get the most realistic-sounding grunts and groans possible. "Tarzan" -- which also features the voices of Minnie Driver, Glenn Close and Lance Henriksen -- opens in theaters June 18.
