Bruce Campbell is a film and television actor, director, writer, producer and author. As a cult film actor, Campbell is best known for his role as Ash Williams in Sam Raimi’s hit “Evil Dead” series of films, and he has starred in many low-budget cult films such as “Crimewave,” “Maniac Cop,” “Bubba Ho-tep,” “Escape From L.A.” and “Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat.” He has since made voice appearances in animated films, including “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” and “Cars 2.”
In television, Campbell is known for his lead roles in both “The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.” and “Jack of all Trades,” his portrayal of Autolycus in “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys” and “Xena: Warrior Princess,” and notably for his role as Sam Axe on the USA Network series “Burn Notice.” He has appeared in many of Raimi’s films outside of the “Evil Dead” series, notably cameo roles in the “Spider-Man” film series.
He also played a supporting role in “Sky High” and in the Jim Carrey drama, “The Majestic.” Other roles in mainstream films for Campbell included the Michael Crichton adaptation “Congo,” the film version of McHale’s “Navy” and “Escape From L.A.,” the sequel to John Carpenter’s “Escape From New York.”
Campbell produced the remake of “The Evil Dead,” along with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert. Campbell made an appearance that may allude to his signature character, Ash and will reprise his role in “Army of Darkness 2.”
Campbell made a critically acclaimed dramatic guest role as a grief-stricken detective seeking revenge for his father’s murder in a two-part episode of the fourth season of “Homicide: Life on the Street.” Campbell co-starred on the television series “Burn Notice,” which aired from 2007 to 2013 on USA Network. Campbell then starred in a “Burn Notice” made-for-television prequel focusing on Sam’s Navy Seal career, titled “Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe.”
In addition to acting and occasionally directing, Campbell has become a writer, starting with an autobiography, “If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor” published on August 24, 2002.
Campbell’s book “Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way” was published on May 26, 2005. The book’s plot involves Bruce (depicted in a comical way) as the main character struggling to make it into the world of A-list movies.
