Tarzan In Tarzan's Magic Fountain (1949), Barker became the tenth official Tarzan of the movies. His blond, handsome, and intelligent appearance, as well as his athletic 6'4" frame, helped make him popular in the role Johnny Weissmuller had made his own for 16 years. His Jane was Brenda Joyce who had been in Weissmuller's last three films. Barker's second Tarzan was Tarzan and the Slave Girl (1950), where Jane was played by Vanessa Brown. In Tarzan's Peril (1951), Barker's Jane was Virginia Huston, with African location footage. Dorothy Hart was Jane in Tarzan's Savage Fury (1952), directed by Cy Endfield. Barker got the chance to play a non-Tarzan role in Battles of Chief Pontiac (1952), a Western. He returned to the role one last time in Tarzan and the She-Devil (1953). Westerns Barker supported Randolph Scott in Thunder Over the Plains (1953). At Universal he starred in the Western The Yellow Mountain (1954) and The Man from Bitter Ridge (1955).

He was in the war movie Away All Boats (1956) and the thriller The Girl in the Kremlin (1957). Barker made two films for Howard W. Koch: War Drums (1957) and Jungle Heat (1957),.
