Bruce Lorne Campbell was born June 22, 1958, Royal Oak, Michigan. Campbell is very well-known for his starring role as Ash in the Evil Dead trilogy of horror/slapstick movies. He is a B-movie icon.
Campbell’s best-known roles are as Ashley J. “Ash” Williams in Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead films, and he has appeared in many of Raimi’s films outside of the Evil Dead series. Campbell often takes on quirky roles, such as Elvis Presley in the film Bubba Ho-Tep, and appears in films that go straight to video or cable TV. Along with Bubba Ho-Tep, Campbell played a supporting role in the 2005 film Sky High, and is starring in the upcoming My Name is Bruce.
Campbell was supposed to star in Darkman, but the studio reportedly insisted on Liam Neeson, unsure of Campbell’s ability to play the role [1]. Campbell stayed on behind the scenes, credited as “additional voice recording”, and appears as the final face/disguise of Darkman in the film’s final shot.
He was also one of the final contenders for the role of The Phantom, but it ultimately went to Billy Zane instead [2]. His fellow Hercules: The Legendary Journeys cast member Kevin Sorbo was interestingly also one of the final three contenders for the role of Lee Falk’s legendary superhero.
