  • Tony Goldwyn (Alex D. Linz, young) as Tarzan, a man raised by gorillas who finds out he is truly a human.
  • Minnie Driver as Jane Porter, daughter of Professor Porter and a part of an English explorer group. She's the first of the group to meet Tarzan and they fall in love.
  • Glenn Close as Kala, Tarzan's adopted mother who found and raised him after losing her last son to Sabor. She is Kerchak's mate.
  • Lance Henriksen as Kerchak, Kala's mate and the leader of the gorilla troop. He doesn't look too kindly on Tarzan since he is human. Before he dies, he accepts him as his son and leaves him to lead the troop.
