Name:

Royal Oak, Michigan

First "official" acting job: Age 14—When the actor who was to play the young prince in a local community version of "The King and I" became ill, Bruce filled the role.
Bruce met Sam Raimi in a high school drama class in 1975. They began to make Super-8 movies, including Within the Woods, which helped raise money ($350,000) for their next project: The Evil Dead. The rest is history.
What I Think:
Known to his fans simply as "Bruce" and "BC", Bruce Campbell is, without a doubt, my favorite actor (NOTE: Brad Pitt rocks, but as far as acting goes, Bruce is king). He has the chiseled features and substantial build of an action hero, the flawless timing and biting sarcasm of a comic genius, the commanding voice of a god, and the chin of—well, you get the idea. This guy can do it all, and it boggles my mind why he does not get bigger roles in his movies. But even though his roles are usually small, he always steals the show (see, for example, The Majestic and Spider-Man). Just a small cameo from this man can make even the worst movie worth seeing twice. His greatest asset is his one-liners, which he delivers with such ease and nonchalance that he is one of the most quotable actors around. He also, along with Christopher Walken, has one of the most recognizable voices in Hollywood, which has made him the perfect man to do voicework on countless cartoons and video games. To all of us Bruce Campbell fans, Bruce Willis and Bruce Springsteen will always be "the other Bruces".
