Linda: "Oh Ash, it's beautiful. I really love it, I'll never take it off." Bruce: "One of the crappiest pieces of jewelry I think I've ever seen in my life.
That needs to be made into a comedy flashback if another series gets made. Ash: Im here to browse and buy jewelry but Im all out of cash. Jeweler : O-k, this is the cheapest item we sell sir. Ash: That's the crappiest necklace i ever did saw, perfect I'll take it. Gilligans cut to Linda.
He’s such an all-business actor. He doesn’t care about the fame, he just wants to do his job to the best of his ability, take the paycheck and get out of there. Gotta respect that.
I emailed Bruce's fan club back when email was first becoming a thing. I told him how my friend and I loved the laughing lamp scene in Evil Dead 2 and we would get jazzed on Pixie Stix and watch the scene over and over (we were 13). Months later he responded with a single sentence: "Whoa, better watch it 'sober' next time." I'll never forget that.
The fact that no one has cast him as some kind of mobster is criminal. He has a natural look and mannerism that would be perfect; that Michigan accent would be great for a Detroit mob guy or union boss.
"If you have a sub par script, you're probably going to have a sub par movie". Jesus, how is Bruce Campbell the only person in Hollywood that seems to know that?
Is it just me but doesn't he come off as a tad bit full of shit? I love the guy and I have a suspicion it's just a part of his personality that's great! I just couldn't watch bubba hotep and he is ash, despite his protests it is his greatest character.
A friend of my brother's spotten Bruce Campbell once at an airport and ask him "Wow, are you Bruce Cambell" and he replied "Somebody has to be." One of the coolest guys in entertainment. :)
Joshua Knode My poor dad was notorious for fumbling people's names& once at Detroit airport to pick up my brother, dad noticed Bruce, approached him & said..."hey, you're Glen Campbell aren't you? I really liked that Brisco County Jr. series you had on TV, you're pretty funny in your scary movies too." Bruce said "I guess you're lucky you never heard me play the guitar, but thank you sir." Of course I corrected dad& we had a good laugh as they shook hands. He seemed like a likable down to earth kind of guy.
"At the end of the day, it's also OK to not make a sequel. We've all gone a little sequel-crazy." It feels so bloody good to hear that from someone who actually is in this industry. Thank you very much for that statement, Mr Campbell!
@@gatsbygoodwood2575 As much as I'd love to see those characters again I'm happy where it's at, great movie, timeless enough to keep coming back. Perfect wrap up.
In the late 90s I wrote painfully dumb short stories. I could not write dialog. I sent a 3 page story to this guy in his email at the time and he responded with nearly 9 pages on how to write it like a screen play. I later adapted my storywriting into Role Playing. Thanks, Bruce. To this day that means the world to me!
As a youngling, I had the opportunity to spend about 6 hours with Bruce. He was signing about 2,000 copies of "How to Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way" for my uncle's publishing company. There was a miscommunication where he thought he was going to sign a few dozen books at an event, not 2,000 copies in an assembly line fashion, but he was totally cool and cordial. I brought him stacks of the book and would take the signed copies from him to another table, and during that duty he dubbed me his "little minion". I was about 10-years-old and totally star-struck, having grown up watching Evil Dead's and Army of Darkness (and playing the PS1 and PS2 Evil Dead games), and loving his cameo in the first Spiderman movie (giving Spiderman his name!). After he finished all the books, he signed my siblings and my own Army of Darkness and Evil Dead posters, a pack of Army of Darkness playing cards, and my Farlane action figure of Ash vs. The Pit Witch. After all these years and many item purges and moves, I still have the unopened action figure box, signed "Griffin, Stay Groovy, Bruce Campbell". He told us that the cards and action figures were way cool, but had no idea they existed and definitely wasn't receiving any royalties from all that merchandise. I will cherish that memory and will always, always be a fan of Bruce.
I like how he said "thanks for your time", a good way to view it. He's promoting something and is appreciative of people paying attention, not thinking it's his time that's being used.
He seems very down to earth. I don't blame him for not wanting to live the typical Hollywood celebrity lifestyle. It would suck to be recognised and bombarded with questions everywhere you go. He seems grateful that he has fans, but he also has his own life to live, with a family and friends. I feel like that's how I'd want to live as an actor, having a small, respectful fanbase.
I completely agree, he seams like an easy going down to earth guy, I loved him in evil dead, movies and series, I now have new found respect for him as a person 👍
He has elevated con appearances to an art form. You can tell he truly appreciates his fandom while also milking the shambolic nature of being a B-movie king for comedic value.
Bruce Campbell is a legend, I also loved his cameos in Sam Raimis Spider-Man films. It was confirmed that he was Mysterio the whole time...would have loved to see that come to fruition.
That would mean he gave peter the spider-man name, stopped him from entering MJ’s play because he was late, also kinda giving out a hint (albeit, a pretty awesome dead giveaway) that he was Q.B. by saying “entering and interrupting the theater would *ruin the illusion* “.....and he also helped out Peter by getting everything else set up for his marriage offer to MJ.💍 Spiderman and Mysterio DO make the Best of Buddies, don’t they?🤔 especially, if they’re played by Tobey Maguire and Bruce Campbell. Almost forgot he also helps out Spidey in the video games as the narrator... love those games.
Dude, come over to the dry side (Colombia Plateau) in the GPNW sometime, we all do it. After all we're neighbors. Doesn't matter if you're the McDonalds with over 230,000 acres or Norm Goree, with only 250, you always need the extra hands now and then. Not just cattle either, a few extra bodies when you need to do a mess of rock jacking, sure helps. Need a road built or septic system this weekend? We can do that. I've been to cities, keep em.
@@kirkjones9639 that first half escapes me but the rest i got!! I would be so useless in that but its good to know people still help each other out when they need it. Feels like thats disappearing now a days
If you read his Book "if chins could kill" you get that hes not afraid of work and is quite simply a guy that has humble beginnings and is still humble with all the crazy that fans throw at him.
@uncletigger very logical and rather warming. I live in the city and while im surrounded by open prairie and went to school with a lot of farmer kids, i dont really know what its like. I would very much be that person who would help, im not much for herding but sewing, cooking, cleaning - i can do that lol! My comment is more about the randomness he seems to attract but all the same, you comment was rather heart warming! So thanks for that!
This video made me feel soo close to him, like if im talking to him and not seeing him through a screen. This man is an amazing down to earth actor. I wish him soo much luck!
Him interacting with his neighbors was really the best and most real part. "I only played a cowboy, but I will give it a shot" That makes for a person that would be a good drinking buddy.
My gf in the 80s asked me, “Have you seen Evil Dead 2?” I’m like, “Saw the poster. Looks dumb.” She knew my sense of humour and wouldn’t take no for answer. Well that was over 30 years ago. We’re not together anymore but here I am.
Jason Thomas wow angry comment all he said was we couldn’t write a movie that held up to the first one and that it’s okay not to make a sequel he probably would go back if the script was good did you even watch the video
Im literally so damn happy Ash vs Evil Dead happened. It is probably my favorite TV series of all time. I never once felt bored or wondered when the series was gonna end. In fact im kinda hoping for more, not sure if that will happen, but damn happy either way. Thank you Bruce and Sam! Now 7 years after this AMA we have a wonderful game title, its been a blast being an Evil Dead Fan
Said that to my ex-wife over the phone as a response to some nonsense she was trying to sell me back in 2002. I could tell no one else in the office had seen AoD because they thought I was a god of wit.
I saw Evil Dead as a teenager because of my brother. I'm so grateful to Sam and Bruce for giving us comedic horror. Bruce is a good person. This interview is a person trying to dispel rumor and teach subtle truths Very nicely done.
I was at a screening for "My Name is Bruce" where he did a Q&A afterwards, and I was surprised at the restraint he showed. I'd just finished reading "If Chins Could Kill", and just about every question could have been answered with "READ MY BOOK". Instead, he basically answered all of them, verbatim. Saw him at Comic Con a few years later, and he was obviously having a much better time of it. I don't know if it was because the people asking questions weren't complete bellends, or if (and I'm basing this on what it cost to be there, and see him) he was just making bank by being there, but he was incredibly jovial, just hamming it up and (appeared to be) having a great time.
It's kinda awesome how humble he is about his career. A lot of actors let the fans' adoration go to their heads. It's great that he really hasn't forgotten where he came from :) Love your work, Mr. Campbell!
Bruce: "it cut into my chin" Also Bruce: points at the wrong side of the chin(you can clearly see his scar on the other side, which is also in the Army of Darkness footage)
That last answer was awesome. That's the dream right there. An accomplished actor with a cult following, living in a rural area in the early later years of their career with neighbors not affected by your fame, and herding some cattle with them. Bruce is living the damn dream. Long live the king of B horror.
@@leniobarcelos2264 You know, you're right! I forgot all about the scene with him as the waiter, I just looked it up! - He should've had a bigger part.
RaidenFreeman i saw evil dead first then the tv hercules... but did not make the connection years later since i was just a small kid. later on when i know then i started to watch other projects he is in and cant get enough of him.
When i was little, I remember my brother talking about evil dead, describing it as some epic adventure with “the man with a chainsaw hand” ... unfortunately my brother passed away before the TV series came out but I know he would have loved it because Bruce is better than ever, and everytime i watch it , makes me think of him. Hail to the king baby!!!!
RIP Bruce Campbell RIP Aiden Campbell RIP Lumpy RIP BeepingMemeSauce2727 RIP Mariana D'Amelio Just leaving these here for later, they will be true eventually and I will get likes on this comment then I will sell the likes to the Chinese
I love Bruce Campbell, randomly watched evil dead as a teen on IFC and first time really falling in love with horror genre. Watching Ash"s character going from typical 80s pretty guy in horror movie to badass nothing to lose demon slayer all within one film. Kinda just worked cheesy, but t the kind of cheese you enjoy and want so much more of. Asu vs evil dead was purely to see Bruce Campbell be funny and enjoy acting .
My daughter met him at comiccon Calgary Alberta...Shes met so many actors and actresses.. and he was the most fun and sweetest human...he took the time for her conversation and a picture we love..Hes truly a sweetheart.
I think it's because he knows he has a good life. Sure he's not 'Kardashian' levels of famous, but he's nowhere near an actor who is struggling to look for work.
"Which role has been the closest to just playing yourself?" Bruce Campbell, who has played himself in a movie: "This western show hero that only like 5 people including the guy writing this remember"
Such a good guy, probably one of the nicest people in the business, based on my very limited interaction with him and just every interview i've seen him do. Hope we can look forward to him sticking around for the foreseeable future
No words are more inaccurate than this, what about Christopher Lee who was an astounding solider, released a rock album in his 80s, got knighted, married a supermodel and has starred in over 100 films?
Hahaha...you can tell this man's from Michigan XD "What's the first thing I'd do with a chainsaw hand? ...cut a chord of wood, 'cuz winter's coming." My man...!
Bruce autographed our copy of Briscoe County at a book signing where our family was surrounded by Evil Dead fans. It was a highlight. I love that show and wish it had run longer.
It's not. Moving that amount of cattle at once is extremely stressful, if one slips through as many as possible follow. Although we have crops to get lost in/destroyed, it might be a lot easier without that factor.
gilzineto ikr but @christmastiger brings up some good points. maybe it's fun if you can do it 2 or 3 times, but not everyday to depend on economic success.
***** Yeah, it might also depend on who you're with and how you do it. I had to chase with my dad and he literally screamed so loud our neighbors who lived miles away could hear, if we let a cow get through he called us fucking goddamn cocksuckers. But with Bruce Campbell maybe it wouldn't be so bad...
My new favorite story. Had a similar experience. I once took a dozen English riding lessons, they found out I did leather working and could fix tack, offered me a job helping on a trail riding ranch as groom/back-up trail rider. First day 10 year old girl runs up and says "You're on Sioux? Well they wouldn't have hired you if you weren't really experienced. She spooks at everything like plastic bags blowing, cars, etc." First thing I had to do was ride out on the local main road and stop traffic both ways. Turned out it was really easy because I was laid back and never panicked which calmed Sioux down.
Bruce Campbell is the voice in the Spider-Man video game that helps you in the tutorial. Honestly I’ve played the tutorial way more than the game just because of him
I wanted them to finish Ash Vs. Evil Dead with a movie but I heard Bruce doesn’t wanna return. I respect that. Nobody will ever be able to play Ash as groovy as Bruce can. Much love and respect to this man.
My son and dearly departed husband could not get enough of evil dead. I can't tell you the number of times my son, now 37 and still doing it, would walk around the house doing the nose thing and laughing like a maniac. I have seen you in other roles and I have to say, you are extremely adaptable and very diversified. I applaud you sir. I almost forgot in burn notice you were without a doubt top drawer. You made me almost want to be your sugar mamma, LOL. Since I am retired military, you character and I would have gotten on quite well.
My dad met Bruce Campbell when he was a teenager. Walked up and said “hey, you’re Bruce Campbell!” Bruce replied “hey, you’re some guy I don’t know.”
Man he must have a Rolodex of responses to that
🤣 he's the best!
Hahahahaha
I can hear his voice right now lol
@@Nonamelol. how do you know he lies? Are you jealous ? Or you want attention ?
Linda: "Oh Ash, it's beautiful. I really love it, I'll never take it off."
Bruce: "One of the crappiest pieces of jewelry I think I've ever seen in my life.
I stayed up all night making this for your journey...."great, i could use a horse blanket"

That needs to be made into a comedy flashback if another series gets made.
Ash: Im here to browse and buy jewelry but Im all out of cash.

I thought he was Peter Parkers dad.
He was there for important character development.
@Apostle9590 they were going to use Vulture. Search on google "spider-man 4 storyboard".

I don't know if it was because the people asking questions weren't complete bellends, or if (and I'm basing this on what it cost to be there, and see him) he was just making bank by being there, but he was incredibly jovial, just hamming it up and (appeared to be) having a great time.
Bruce is a classy smartass and dammit, I respect him.
Bruce with always be a "Keanu Reeves of B-movies" for me. Maybe his career wasn't as bright but it made a hell of a lot of impact in our lives
..better actor though! Bruce i mean...
It's kinda awesome how humble he is about his career. A lot of actors let the fans' adoration go to their heads. It's great that he really hasn't forgotten where he came from :) Love your work, Mr. Campbell!
@Jon Goat Yeah, fair point there.
They should make a Dead Rising movie with him.
He IS Frank West.
Even has a similar face
Bruce Campbell recasted as Frank West would be a Recasting I'd be happy with.
I bet he's covered wars you know.
Frank West is nowhere near like Bruce Campbell. Frank West is, frankly, a very grounded and normal dude.
@@_terrorbilly Bruce Campbell is a very grounded and normal dude. Ash, however, is not.
Bruce: "it cut into my chin"
Also Bruce: points at the wrong side of the chin(you can clearly see his scar on the other side, which is also in the Army of Darkness footage)
Rushy to be fair it was a long ass time ago.
Edit: Actually that scar was from when he got hit with a swing as a kid
He has that scar even in his first movie, it's from his childhood, I guess that Army of Darkness accident didn't leave one :)
lots of times they flip the footage in videos, so either one of the footages could be flipped and it would look like he is pointing to the other side
that big scar is not the fight scene scar.
More or less makes him look more badass i guess.
"I'd chop a quart of wood, because winter's coming." Cracked me up.
Sleven Bull maybe hes pitching for game of thrones 😊
Not to bust your balls but it's a "cord" of wood.
That would be awesome. :D
Username 32 fluid ounces of wood of course.
@Brandon Woodard Bushell is correct! Also paper stacks in reams, and bananas in hands. Counting markers are funny.
LEGEND
That last answer was awesome. That's the dream right there. An accomplished actor with a cult following, living in a rural area in the early later years of their career with neighbors not affected by your fame, and herding some cattle with them. Bruce is living the damn dream. Long live the king of B horror.
Love what he said about sequels. More people need to adopt this attitude.
i love how he still has that scar he got from making the movie, you know he did his own stunts.
Was that the big injury scar he mentions or another one?!
The scar on his chin is from getting hit by a swing when he was a kid
@@christiano3819 no from doing a stunt in army of darkness actually
@@naszirboyd9950 He has that scar even in Evil Dead, it's from his childhood :)
@@naszirboyd9950 Nope.
I'm from the future where the show is over - Bruce! You did not let us fans down. Thank you.
Bruce Campbell is just great, he acts really young for his age just makes him look like hes in perfect health condition.
Zen Razor Grecian formula doesn't hurt either lol
I once said "Gimme some sugar baby" to my girlfriend, she loved it, didn't even know what Evil Dead was
My girlfriend hated Ash (the character, not the actor). I only ever said the line when I wanted to piss her off. Not with her anymore :-)
@@RictusHolloweye probably for the best. Who in their right mind hates Ash....well besides deadites
Randall Wilkes I think you just answered your question she was a deadite
@@RictusHolloweye Haha, same here; she also hated when i said "groovy" or something. I'm not with her too :D
(Sorry for the bad english, regards)
@@randallwilkes7746 Deadites arent in their right minds too. So just further proves the theory.
When Bruce says “Sam picked it out” when talking about the necklace. I just see a young Sam Raimi with the biggest grin on his face.
I first heard about Bruce after he did the voiceovers for the Spider-Man movie games. He made those tutorials perfect
Same here. It was a shame he never was in any of the movies as a nod to the games.
Spiteful64 He was, though. lol Maybe you're just being sarcastic or something.
@@leniobarcelos2264 You know, you're right! I forgot all about the scene with him as the waiter, I just looked it up! - He should've had a bigger part.
You know he was also the fighting tournament announcer in Spiderman 1, right? "What's your name kid?"
Spiteful64 he also was the Usher in Spider-Man 2.... he was going to have a bigger part in Spider-Man 4. He was going to be Mysterio
Groovy! Greatest actor ever!
+Hail To The Chin your username is amazing.
That's what they all say baby!
he seems very down to earth. this is a very honest & good man.
Yeah you gotta love the guy
Hail To The Chin nope, he's not even a little bit close to being the greatest actor ever. Let's face it people, you only love him for evil dead
Thank you for the many hours of pain and suffering you endured for our entertainment and for bringing one hell of a character to life for us.
Bruce Campbell is the single most greatest actor that ever lived.
jim bob Tell that to Bill Murray
Bill Murray isn't an actor, he's Bill f-ng Murray.
Maybe I just haven't seen the right movies but I have never been a fan of Bill Murray, he's very meh in my mind
jim bob no he isn't, not even close. Aside from Ash what other great roles has he played that you love?
jim bob there are a lot better at acting then him, Marlon Brando for example. But he’s one of the best people who act.
I first saw Bruce Campbell in Hercules, and loved him and his character. Much later I saw him in evil dead, and it was awesome!
RaidenFreeman i saw evil dead first then the tv hercules... but did not make the connection years later since i was just a small kid. later on when i know then i started to watch other projects he is in and cant get enough of him.
When i was little, I remember my brother talking about evil dead, describing it as some epic adventure with “the man with a chainsaw hand” ... unfortunately my brother passed away before the TV series came out but I know he would have loved it because Bruce is better than ever, and everytime i watch it , makes me think of him.
Hail to the king baby!!!!
Hail to the chin baby
"Army Of Darkness" has always been one of my fav movies since it came out.
After hearing this, I'm def gonna miss Bruce when he does go. One of the few celebs who seem genuine and down to earth
He just died today
No, he didn't.
RIP Bruce Campbell
RIP Aiden Campbell
RIP Lumpy
RIP BeepingMemeSauce2727
RIP Mariana D'Amelio
Just leaving these here for later, they will be true eventually and I will get likes on this comment then I will sell the likes to the Chinese
Maybe you’ll get lucky & go first!
I think we're gonna have him for a while more
Bruce Campbell roasting redditors made my day
Truly groovy
its a god damn shame ash vs evil dead was canceled
I love Bruce Campbell, randomly watched evil dead as a teen on IFC and first time really falling in love with horror genre. Watching Ash"s character going from typical 80s pretty guy in horror movie to badass nothing to lose demon slayer all within one film. Kinda just worked cheesy, but t the kind of cheese you enjoy and want so much more of. Asu vs evil dead was purely to see Bruce Campbell be funny and enjoy acting .
He's like the best father figure ever.
Brisco County Jr. is one of the most underrated TV shows of all time!
My daughter met him at comiccon Calgary Alberta...Shes met so many actors and actresses.. and he was the most fun and sweetest human...he took the time for her conversation and a picture we love..Hes truly a sweetheart.
Bruce Campbell definitely seems like that actor who is chill af
he does have a temper too
“Shop smart . Shop S-Mart !!”
YA GOT THAT?!
Y-yes
If you don't shop s smart you big dumb
He's as charming as ever, god DAMN
I think it's because he knows he has a good life. Sure he's not 'Kardashian' levels of famous, but he's nowhere near an actor who is struggling to look for work.
I like this guy. “There’s a reason I moved to rural Oregon...” hahaha
Often wondered if Bruce Campbell's left-handed. Cool to see he's a fellow lefty
Nobody's perfect.
Yeah, I'm a lefty too.
@@docsavage8640 ???
Same
he is. as seen on late knight talk shows.
Bruce is one of the most genuine and coolest actors in the business. He's great in everything.
This guy is my hero
I just realised that he'd make a great Michael De Santa for a GTA5 movie
Yeetimus Prime holy fuck he would be perfect
Or an even better Trevor
Now I cant unhear Michael's voice from Ash
Make a petition for this
there is an actual guy for that yknow.... just like trevor, franklin, laslo, so many
A class D movie made with no budget, and it is one of the funniest classics.
I'm a simple man : I see Bruce Campbell,I like the video.
"Which role has been the closest to just playing yourself?"
Bruce Campbell, who has played himself in a movie: "This western show hero that only like 5 people including the guy writing this remember"
Its a good show
Brisco County Jr.? I remember watching that show when I was in high school, in the early 90s.
@@Hengebobs Got the box DVD set sitting on my shelf right now. It is still a good show, though I watched it when I was in Pre-K
My dad and I loved that show. When I was growing up.
It's still one of my top 10 favorite TV shows.
Such a good guy, probably one of the nicest people in the business, based on my very limited interaction with him and just every interview i've seen him do. Hope we can look forward to him sticking around for the foreseeable future
Brruce Campbell for president.
Jim Williams I’d vote!
well he was Reagan in Fargo Season 2 :D
He'd make America groovy again.
Glad someone else is on board.
Fr
4:20 Bruce's chin doesn't bleed... The blood came from the breastplate! XD
He is the absolute best person to have at a comic con, best panels I've been to
The only celebrity worth worshipping.
Except for he doesn't think himself as a celebrity and he doesn't want to be worshipped but if we had to I would sure worship him :D
drpapa26 Bill Murray is worthy as well
Hail to king ;)
drpapa26 Keanu Reeves is a legend. But most celebrities aren't down to Earth or modest. I blame the paparazzi or however it's spelled.
No words are more inaccurate than this, what about Christopher Lee who was an astounding solider, released a rock album in his 80s, got knighted, married a supermodel and has starred in over 100 films?
Wow, did this guy age gracefully!
When they started saying Ashey slashey I started cracking up!
_"I get lonely enough to go on Reddit, that's pretty lonely"_
ha ha ha... *cries in quarantine*
part of me feels like he don’t even know how cold that was 😂😂🔥
It’s funny that someone asked him if Ash still had that necklace, and In the third season, it showed that he did
I like that he speaks his mind. I will always treasure the Army of Darkness movies and the Evil Dead series
Bruce Cambell seems like a really down to earth and amazing guy.
8:15 Like George Lucas fixed his movies haha Burn... lol
I too, Noticed... the Burn...
Good to see you, Bruce!
"It's also ok not to make a sequel"....thank you!!
Hahaha...you can tell this man's from Michigan XD
"What's the first thing I'd do with a chainsaw hand? ...cut a chord of wood, 'cuz winter's coming."
My man...!
Bruce really lives the life up in Oregon.
Bruce autographed our copy of Briscoe County at a book signing where our family was surrounded by Evil Dead fans. It was a highlight. I love that show and wish it had run longer.
That last story was pretty fucking cool hahaha itd be fun to live that!
It's not. Moving that amount of cattle at once is extremely stressful, if one slips through as many as possible follow. Although we have crops to get lost in/destroyed, it might be a lot easier without that factor.
gilzineto ikr but @christmastiger brings up some good points. maybe it's fun if you can do it 2 or 3 times, but not everyday to depend on economic success.
***** Yeah, it might also depend on who you're with and how you do it. I had to chase with my dad and he literally screamed so loud our neighbors who lived miles away could hear, if we let a cow get through he called us fucking goddamn cocksuckers. But with Bruce Campbell maybe it wouldn't be so bad...
christmastiger sounds like my old pops LOL.
My new favorite story. Had a similar experience.
I once took a dozen English riding lessons, they found out I did leather working and could fix tack, offered me a job helping on a trail riding ranch as groom/back-up trail rider. First day 10 year old girl runs up and says "You're on Sioux? Well they wouldn't have hired you if you weren't really experienced. She spooks at everything like plastic bags blowing, cars, etc." First thing I had to do was ride out on the local main road and stop traffic both ways. Turned out it was really easy because I was laid back and never panicked which calmed Sioux down.
Bruce Campbell is the voice in the Spider-Man video game that helps you in the tutorial. Honestly I’ve played the tutorial way more than the game just because of him
Man, you are one of my all time favorite actors. You are so underrated, and ahead of your time, with your technique.
I wanted them to finish Ash Vs. Evil Dead with a movie but I heard Bruce doesn’t wanna return. I respect that. Nobody will ever be able to play Ash as groovy as Bruce can. Much love and respect to this man.
This guy is a legend
"I wanna fix Ash like George Lucas fixed Star Wars"
You don't wanna do that
It's almost like he was kidding.
I love this man. unique old school american charisma.
That comment on sequels and reboots just earned the guy my undying respect.
I feel like he's one of those awesome guys that you could sit down and chat with for hours and never get tired of him. You could talk about anything.
The sort of man you could adopt as your dad after just 3 conversations
My son and dearly departed husband could not get enough of evil dead. I can't tell you the number of times my son, now 37 and still doing it, would walk around the house doing the nose thing and laughing like a maniac. I have seen you in other roles and I have to say, you are extremely adaptable and very diversified. I applaud you sir. I almost forgot in burn notice you were without a doubt top drawer. You made me almost want to be your sugar mamma, LOL. Since I am retired military, you character and I would have gotten on quite well.
