What Happened to BRUCE CAMPBELL?

- Ask Bruce Campbell, and he’ll tell you he’s “sick of over-trained heroes. I'm really bored with that. Guys that are just ripped to shreds and, you know, full of skills. That's boring to me. Give me the mechanic that picks up a weapon, you know? Now I'm interested. That's my hero. That could be me.”
Ash Williams of the Evil Dead franchise IS that hero. Part of the lasting appeal of the best character Bruce Campbell has ever played is that the audience can see themselves in him, like if they were pressed into fighting an army of Deadites, they could take up the mantle, the chainsaw, the boomstick, and mow down wave after wave of the undead masses. In this video, we take a look at Campbell's long career, from his debut in The Evil Dead through his brushes with fame in the nineties, through his awesome return as a character actor on Burn Notice and his return in Ash vs The Evil Dead!

Bruce Campbell came to my local theater, (which I was an assistant manager at) for the premier of his movie, 'My name is Bruce', which he filmed on his property just a few miles away. I got to spend my entire lunch break hanging out with him and talking about his films. He's a wonderful human being and one of my favorite actors. It was a dream come true.
I loved the movie My Name Is Bruce
Anybody remember the movie they call me Bruce?
@@metalbrainmextrememetalent6810 yep with Johnny Yune. and the sequel They Still Call Me Bruce
So he's a good dude? I can't always tell with actors. I know his whole persona is being kind of a lovable jerkass but I don't necessarily know what he'd be like on a low-key basis amongst just a few fans. He really is just one of those unique lightning in a bottle character actors who knows how to work what he's got and seems like he's made a really good career and had fun with it.

What happened to Bruce Campbell? He became the most interesting man in the world.
Bruce Campbell is the absolute best. Better than a lot of A-list actors out there. A true actor who respects his fans and respects the acting craft
This man has never gotten the love he deserves, because it's impossible to love Bruce too much.
I love the line Bruce says in Army of Darkness. Where he says" It looks like your in charge of jack sh*t and jack left town. It always makes me giggle LMAO!
"First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me, Blow"
I use that line a lot.
@@CameronHuff Same here lol.
"Good? Bad? I'm the guy with the gun."
I love when he tries to bullshit his way through saying the magic words and ends up releasing the evil again. Hilarious movie.
Imagine an alternate reality where instead of having a Tim Burton Batman with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson we got a Sam Raimi Batman with Bruce Campbell and Willem Dafoe
I’m imagining a Ghostbusters offshoot with Bruce Campbell, Steve Guttenberg and Christopher Lloyd, opening a franchise in Chicago with the blessing of the original New York trio.
@@Ironcabbitholy shit dude!!! What a combo!!!
Which one would be joker? 😂😂
Or an alternate reality in which Bruce Campbell was given all of George Clooney's movie roles.
This idea gave me chills!
"Bubba Ho Tep" from 2002 was really good and fun. Very underrated flick
He does audio comm as elvis
His directorial debut was similarly good, to my mind. But Ossie Davis was super cool in bubba.
It's not underrated anyone who's a fan knows this movie. If any of his movies are underrated it's My Name is Bruce.
I remember asking my local indie theatre if they were going to show it, and the manager answered "never going to happen". Then the place closed down a few years later, only to be revived by actual movie buffs and filmmakers, so yet again Bruce defeated evil and made a bunch of nerds happy.
spread the word! I still tell folks about this movie. It works on many levels.
He became a living legend. And you left out Congo.
That film gets dunked on but it's not SO bad, it's a fun B-movie. But it would've been a zillion times better if he'd lived thru the whole film and been the male lead.
Mickey Rooney was in the domino principle 1977 with Richard widmark sammy Wilson Eli wallach it came upon a midnight clear 1984 with Scott grimes
and Alien Apocolypse
@@adambrown1127 came here to say that.
I forgot all about him being in Congo. That movie had some amazing actors. I saw Congo when it first came out in theaters. I'll always love that movie
Bruce Campbell is currently working as a Private Investigator in Miami -- he is working under the name of Sam Axe
growing up watching burn notice i’ll always think of him as that first
I met Bruce Campbell at the Union Square Barnes & Noble back in 2002 for a reading and book signing of his book, If Chins Could Kill. He's as awesome in real life as he is on film. He's down-to-earth with a high-tier sense of humor, and he appreciates his fans. 🙂
Bruce Campbell is my long time favorite actor. My buddy brought over Army of Darkness on VHS when I was 10 years old and my life has not been the same since.
Brisco County was such an amazing show. Fox canceled so many great shows way too quickly back in the 90s.
I had forgotten about it, but yea.
I think Fox must have some kind of evil being that lives on dashed hopes in charge... there is LONG list of shows on Fox that people love and that Fox cancelled anyway.
yep, Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles was another great series ( better than the later movies ) that was killed off too soon by corporate execs... I'm sure we can make a list of series that were axed prematurely or even some that were written off as a loss by the bean-counters on the company's taxes
After seeing Bruce in "Briscoe County, Jr." I will try anything he's in. That's how i ended up watching "Burn Notice".
both were excellent shows
I binge watch Burn Notice once a year. I never get tired of it. 😊
The Burn Notice's main character was great in the Fargo series
Burn notice is incredible
That was my angle as well, I didn't see Evil Dead until after Brisco County Jr. (and loved it of course). What I found fascinating about Burn Notice was how much Bruce and lead actor Jeff Donovan reminded me of the dynamic between Ross Martin and Robert Conrad in the original Wild, Wild West TV show.
In an alternate timeline, he would have made an amazing Superman
He really would. If he took over after Christopher Reeve, we'd have a lot more great Superman films in existence.
Death once had a Near- Bruce experience 😂😂😁😁🥰
Bruce Campbell is the man. Of course, his role as Ash Williams is considered his best but he had so many great roles after that
The guy is a national treasure.
Worldwide treasure. Nay, universe wide treasure.
All together now "Hail to the king baby"
He embraced his D-list status and wears it better than anyone. He stands out in everything he's done. I've loved him since Xena.
"B-LIST"
@@mikechevreaux7607 C-List, He's not a Beta male like Ben Affleck or a Diddler like Kevin Spacy. No, he's a man, with a Chin, the necessary lower face armor Ben Affleck lacked when he played his soyboy version of Batman. See, if Bruce played Batman he would be invincible, because the only exposed part of his face has far more reinforced armor than even the mighty Hellbat.
Bruce Campbell is such a great actor in whatever project he's participating. He knows it's not peak film, and instead brings the best to the role. Even supporting roles like in the Hudsucker Proxy, he played perfectly off stars like Jennifer Jason Leigh easily. He's so kind and respectful of his fans, and I do appreciate how he engaged with wider fandom.
He was fantastic in "Serving Sara". The whole cast was. I actually think it was Perry's best performance, too. R.I.P.
Hell I've even watched Moon Trap more than once because of him.
I thought I’d died and gone to heaven when Lee Majors showed up as his dad in Ash vs Evil Dead! Can’t get enough of Bruce!
*BRUCE CAMPBELL TO HIS EVIL DEADITE FANS:*
_Oh you bastards ! Why are you..._
_...Torturing me like this, WHY !?_
His role in "Sky High" is still hilarious today
I loved Bubba Ho-Tep, Bruce was absolutely perfectly cast.
He was also fantastic as Sam Axe.
And his adverts for old spice and such. He's a great actor.
I still use Old Spice products due to his commercials. Him, and my actually liking the scents of the many Old Spice products.
Bruce has 4 books, the second was 'make love the Bruce Campbell way'
Ash is a great character, but I will always see him as Autolycus, the King of Thieves, on Xena: Warrior Princess.
😅👍 Same here. I have seen him on first on Hercules.😅
The owner of a local tattoo shop in Temecula gave Bruce his first tattoo. He said Bruce was an absolutely outstanding guy and was a bucket list tattoo to give.
Which shop? I'm from Temecula/Murrieta
What tattoo did Bruce get?
@@IFdude and on what part of his body? (I'm almost afraid to ask...)
Chuck Finely forever
OK, you got me. Started my Bruce Campbell Film Night with : Darkman and Moontrap
I was lucky enough to be on his gameshow "Last Fan Standing" when it came to a local theatre. I also got to take a picture with him and get an autograph as well, what an awesome guy. He is the only famous person I've ever wanted to meet and I am glad I did.
Love Bruce and he's hella sweet in person. Can't get enough.
How could you have forgotten his book he wrote after "If Chins Could Kill"? He wrote a fiction novel "Make Love! the Bruce Campbell Way" which came out in 2005. It kind of reminds me of "My Name is Bruce".
There's an amazing Audio "play" of that book too. It's fully cast and has sound effects and music. Brilliant.
As a big fan of Bruce, I really appreciate this groovy video. You've hailed the king, baby, demonstrating how terrific Bruce is in so many films and shows. The Adventures of Brisco Country Jr., Evil Dead II, Bubba Ho-Tep and Running Time- the latter of which you unfortunately overlooked- are incredible, although Bruce elevates any project. Nice to see the King getting some praise. Thanks man, for doing this.
Running Time was recently rekeased on Blu-Ray. I quickly scooped it up.
Evil Dead 2 is my second fav film of all time.
Then, we know your first.
@@logangodofcandy Ah, no, its actually Life of Brian :)
He's amazing just talking to an audience, telling stories and making quips and being effortlessly charismatic. I think most actors don't have that easy genuine charm in front of a crowd.
I once watched Army of Darkness with my 85yo grandmother. She never said a word about the story, or the action... but told me several times that she thought Bruce Campbell was a handsome man. I miss that lady.
He became a legend off evil dead alone
How do not bring up his voice work, including video games? Fistful of Boomstick is to this day one of my favorite games ever, and I have sank an ungodly amount of time into New Vegas.
😂 best shit in my world
I wish they never canceled the TV show. It was so awesome.
Bruce Campbell is one of the best actors imo. I think the main reason he never really made it as a front man in Hollywood is because he's not interested in all the shananigans involved in being part of that crowd, think ReallifeRyan had a clip in his Evil dead retrospective where he mentioned something like that. Not sure, but I think like Adam Sandler, he enjoys doing what he likes to do and I respect him for that.
Bruce is the king of Horror cinema. Evil Dead might be the best 80's horror phenomenon of all time.
Happened? He happened to become a living legend!
I never knew I needed a WTF so much
This was awesome yo 💯🤘🏾
Bruce is the one of those actors that will be remembered forever. You don't need to be an A-lister, when everything you make is amazing, whether it be comedy, horror, drama, or any combination.
He's the king of B-movies, that's good enough for this fan!
You forgot his lead role in the disney film the love bug
You forgot his Old Spice commercials and McHale’s Navy, those are some of my fav Bruce Campbell moments.
Ash Williams and Sam Axe are two of the best characters ever.
Ash vs. Sam... Who would win? 😊
I attended a showing of Bubba Hotep in Edinburgh after which Bruce held a Q&A. He knew his audience well. He had the nuts to relentlessly tease the Edinburgh crowd about their city. Particularly the old boast that Edinburgh was known as " the Athens of the North " during the enightenment. A superb raconteur.
Baba HoTep ... what a great movie. This dude has turned out tonnes of indie classics!
One of my all-time favorite actors!!
He got something other actors do not. He is an underrated action/comedy movie icon.
Bruce Campbell is the National Treasure. I got the chance to meet him at Akon Dallas Texas many years ago and that was an experience all in itself. You could tell he's just a genuine good human being
I love this voice actor, he brings more pop to your channel
most underrated actor.
Man I was disappointed when he wasn’t in MK 11. Oh well, maybe someday he’ll show up in Mortal Kombat. 🤷🏽♂️
I got my friends hooked on the Evid Dead movies and the legendary Bruce. When he released his first book, he did an appearance at the local Barnes & Noble. My friends all went and didn't bother to let me know about it. They all got autographs and pics with him. I have yet to forgive them for that.
You seemed to miss one of his best small roles in 1992s "Waxwork 2: Lost in Time". One of my favorite films he's in.
That's my favorite sequence in that film. It's so funny.
@@dvdhound79 The way he and Zach Galligan play off each other at the end of that scene is almost perfection. Bag-o-salt
Mickey Rooney was in evil Roy slade 1972 with Milton Berle Henry Gibson don deluise
Bruce Campbell was also in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. on FOX back in 1993 for one season and Jack Of All Trades in 2000. 🏇🤠📺📼
Thanks for that. Bruce doesn't get the recognition he deserves but, damn you for that "year two thousand" Conan reference.
Bruce has been one of my idols since I was a little kid, and he's only taken up more space in my mind since then in the best way possible! 😂
Bruce has always been a favorite of mine. One of the few actors that truly seems like a good person
You gotta love the guy. He just doesnt take himself too seriously.
Bruce is a legend.
I always love seeing him pop up in all sorts of media, whether it be visually or as a voice actor.
I really enjoyed Bruce in Burn Notice. Not only was Sam a funny character but he would be the voice of reason when Micheal would go over the line. I honestly think he would have been perfect playing Sully in an Uncharted movie.
What a legend! I'd love for a return of Ash vs living dead.
Getting groovy indeed. He had all the chance to sell his soul to become a super star, and rather stayed grounded.
“It’s a trick; get an axe.”
That’s some Sun Tzu wisdom right there.
I rarely comment on videos but I will just to say I thoroughly enjoyed this. Fantastic job!
Bruce will always be god-tier to me. I went one of his If Chins Could Kill book signings and was a little early. He used both hands to shake mine. A real gentleman.
Nothing happened to him, hes perfect
Best two lines in cinematic history "Who's laughing now!!??" by Bruce in Evil Dead 2. "I've come here to chew bubblegum, and...." Roddy Piper in They Live.
WE NEED A 4 SEASON OF ASH VS EVIL DEAAAAAD
Bubba Ho-tep is a Halloween tradition for me and mine. Also treasure his X-Files episode.
Found several movies and a couple of series here to add to my must-see list. Thanks.
At the end of the Evil Dead television show he said that was it and had no intentions to return to a roll that didn't just typecast him, but he didn't like how people saw him as a the vapid characters he portrayed. It would be great to see him return to Evil Dead because he is the pulse of the series and whether it's true horror or his comedic twist, we really appreciate his work and thank you for showing off his range and ability as a capable actor and intellectual.
“London bridge is falling down” pt3 , AOD had me on the floor with the windmill scene!!!
Gotta love Bruce!! Thank you for sending me awesome content that we should never let go of!!
Yes, you’re the hero!
A genuinely nice man. My personal exposure to Bruce was via my kids and their multiple encounters with him. My eldest was working at the Main Art Theater in Royal Oak, which hosted numerous premiers featuring Bruce's films. As an usher he was treated respectfully and kindly. At his book signings, also In R.O. at Thomas Video, he remembered my son and signed and dedicated a copy not only for him but one for me too. He was glib, engaging and thoughtful. This was an example for my kids of meeting your hero and not being disappointed.
Loved all his films and supporting roles like “The Hudsucker Proxy” could watch a whole movie with Jennifer Jason Leigh’s Character and “Smitty” chasing a scoop 🤘🎥🤘
Might be the most under appreciated and under estimated actor of all time
Shop smart, shop S-mart, YOU GOT THAT?!
This video is really Groovy!!
It gave me some sugar, baby!
Bruce will be directing a film in Oregon this Summer.
You guys forgot hat he played a small role in Congo(1995) as well, as Charles Travis that gets killed near the start of the movie.
Wow. I that movie. Watched it back then.. once.
He plays bit parts in big movies, and big parts in bit movies. No pressure, no drama, no paparazzi, and all his bills are paid. Guy’s crushing it … living his absolute best.
Bruce Campbell is the greatest actor to have ever graced the silver screen, period.
It's a shame Ash Vs Evil Dead got cancelled, it had a great cast and was suitably gory but the three seasons we got were perfect so I can't complain too much. It was the icing and the cherry on the cake for the Evil Dead franchise.
You missed Bruce's appearance in the X-Files 'Terms of Endearment' where he played a demon trying to father a human baby and failing. It's one of the best x-files episodes.
Bruce should have his own rating... A- List Movie Star. Also for those who like to see anything with Bruce Campbell in it, there is an Episode of Psych where he plays a dream guru. He definitely is having fun.
Bruce Campbell is one of those actors who truly care about the people who love his work, puts his all into his roles, and unlike so many others, never turned his back on any of it.
No Congo (1995)? I was surprised to see him there.
What a great vid!
I must have quoted Bruce 1000 times in my life. The man is a legend!
I still remember my older brother showing me the original evil dead when I was younger
Hail to the King! The best B-Movie actor of all time
Cool vid!
Bruce Campbell also cameoed in Pixar's Cars 2, in a shocking 🤯 moment in the movie.
Bruce is a national treasure. He’s a real movie star. He genuinely loves and appreciates his fans and we love him for it.
Bruce is a national treasure. He oozes nerd coolness. Love him
I didn't even know he played Ash Williams until now but his name was still memorable
"Bruce Campbell is the finest man to grace a silver screen." ~Psychostick
"This man is an engineering genius. Why is he working at S-Mart?!" ~Rich Evans
