Bruce Campbell
New York Times bestseller
One of my dad’s favorite jokes about getting older was: “I went out for coffee when I was twenty-one and when I got back I was fifty-eight!”
I get what he meant now. Time flies. My first book, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a "B" Movie Actor, was published back in 2001 and it chronicles the adventures of a “mid-grade, kind of hammy actor" (my words), cutting his teeth on exploitation movies far removed from mainstream Hollywood.
This next book, an “Act II” if you will, could be considered my “maturing years” in show business, when I began to say “no” more often and gravitated toward self-generated material. Taking stock in the overall quality of my life, I fled Los Angeles and moved to a remote part of Oregon to renew, regroup and reload.
If that sounds tame, the journey from Evil Dead to Spider-Man to Burn Notice was long, with plenty of adventures/mishaps along the way. I never pictured myself hovering above Baghdad in a Blackhawk helicopter, facing a pack of wild dogs in Bulgaria, or playing an aging Elvis Presley with cancer on his penis - how can you predict this stuff? The sheer lunacy of show business is part of the fun for me and I hope you'll come along for the ride.

In other words, this book is probably appreciated more by those of us closer to his age. Though the tales of his movies and TV shows are interesting, there isn’t as much detail on the ins and outs of a typical shoot that one may want. He does spend more time, however, detailing his personal life — jury duty, car accidents, dealing with locals, and buying his house in Oregon. Not the most exciting material, but relatable.
If you love Bruce Campbell, this one is for you. If you don’t know him well, I doubt there would be anything here that would enlighten you as to life in Hollywood. His career is described far more generally than that.
Finally, I Can Relate
