Nobody wears a chainsaw arm or delivers a deadpan quip quite like Bruce Campbell. The undisputed king of cult cinema made his name as Ash Williams in Sam Raimi's low-budget horror romp The Evil Dead. He didn't just survive the demons; he turned B-movie bravado into an art form, winning a fiercely loyal fanbase that packs out convention halls worldwide.
He has stayed busy ever since, spending seven seasons nursing beers and cracking cases as Sam Axe on Burn Notice. Add a string of bestselling memoirs and hilarious cameos in every Marvel film Raimi directs, and you have got a Hollywood survivor who knows exactly what the crowd wants: zero pretension and pure charm.
