Bruce Campbell Day

Today is Ash Wednesday over at our place,   and no it's not the one that comes before Easter -  our version is called Bruce Campbell Day.      It is a whole day where we celebrate the awesomeness of the great lantern jawed b movie hero Bruce Campbell.

If you do not know who he is then listen up you primitive screwheads because i'm not going to tell you once.   Bruce is an incredibly awesome actor who is famous for his role of Ash in all three Evil Dead films,  he also appeared in films like Congo and Darkman (originally considered for the lead part, but the part went to Liam Neeson - but he made an appearance at the end as a "Final Shemp").    He is a friend of Sam Raimi and has made cameos in all three Spiderman films and will be appearing in Spiderman 4 although no info about the role he's playing has been confirmed yet (rumour has it he'll be playing Mysterio).

He's also done guest voiceover appearances in animation and appeared on shows like The X-Files (he appeared as a kind hearted demon in one episode),  Charmed (as an FBI agent in one episode),   Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (as Autolycus the dashing king of thieves) and Xena (also as Autolycus).    He also had two short lived tv series Jack Of All Trades and Brisco County Jr.     He also played an elderly Elvis Presley in Bubba Ho-Tep.


He is the author of two books  If Chins Could Kill (his autobiography) and Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way.

Coincidentally my father (who is an adventurer)  looks a LOT like Bruce.        Our friend Sam Leno also resembles the character Ash from the Evil Dead films and works at S-Mart like Ash does - he even works in the housewares department,   and if you're lucky he might give you the Army Of Darkness tour including where they keep the guns.      Sam "Chinstar"  Leno is famous for his role as Chinstar the only good guy Wereleno that has been featured in our work (most werelenos are of the evil alignment and are arcane tricksters).


Also on Wednesdays I always involuntarily morph into Bruce himself.    It's actually quite nice,  even though I have to put up with some deadites flocking outside our house and sometimes the objects in the house come to life and laugh at me - and sometimes my hand becomes possessed but in overall being Bruce is rather nice.



Happy Bruce Campbell Day everyone.
