In the late 1970s, O'Keeffe headed for California and played semi-professional rugby, and afterward he drifted into working as a stunt man and in the meanwhile taking a few bit parts in films. His big break in 1981 came when he was cast as Tarzan in the film Tarzan, the Ape Man (1981; with Bo Derek, Richard Harris, and John Phillip Law).
Designed as a vehicle for director John Derek's wife, Bo Derek, the film generated poor reviews by critics, primarily because the character Tarzan wasn't the focus of the film; rather, Jane (Bo Derek) has the majority of screen time.
The film chalked up no fewer than six Razzie nominations in 1982. Bo Derek won the Razzie Award for worst actress (tying with Faye Dunaway)
