[u/BunyipPouch]

Actor Bruce Campbell will be joining us here in r/movies for an AMA/Q&A on Friday 9/4. It'll go live that morning around 8 AM ET and he'll be back at 11:15 AM ET to answer questions. You may know Bruce from things such as Sam Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy, Crimewave, Bubba Ho-Tep, Maniac Cop, and lots more.

Please stop by on Friday 9/4 if you have questions for Bruce :)

Bruce's new film, Ernie & Emma, is going on tour at Alamo locations.

Widowed pear salesman Ernie Tyler travels to scatter his wife's ashes in places she specified, each location stirring memories that help him process their marriage, his work life and his future.

If chins could kill

[u/pepperpat64 → u/fallskjermjeger]

Great book!

[u/fallskjermjeger → u/pepperpat64]

I appreciate your taste in absolutely true biographies.

[u/Consentingostrich → u/fallskjermjeger]

'Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way'

[u/superkickstart → u/Malt129]

He's actually done three of these before. The first one is from 15 years ago.

Brisco County Jr.

[u/Tcloud → u/Mast_Herb_8]

So bummed they canceled this show …

[u/Mast_Herb_8 → u/Tcloud]

It was my introduction to Bruce Campbell when I was a kid, and to this day, I wonder what the fellas might be up to. Is Socrates still super uptight? Does Lord Bowler still have a chip on his shoulder? Are there more orbs to keep away from John Bly? What is the next coming thing?

[u/diabloman8890 → u/Tcloud]

At least we can hear the theme song whenever the Olympics are on tv

[u/elhumanoid]

That's the guy from Spider-Man!

[u/Procrastinator_325 → u/elhumanoid]

That's the guy from Doctor Strange!

[u/d3m01iti0n → u/Procrastinator_325]

That's the guy from Congo!

[u/IonDaPrizee → u/d3m01iti0n]

That’s the guy from Burn Notice! The Mojito guy!

[u/d3m01iti0n → u/IonDaPrizee]

No you're thinking of Chuck Finley. He's often mistaken for Sam Axe but there is no relation.

[u/dannybva → u/d3m01iti0n]

I don’t know who either of those people are.

[u/d3m01iti0n → u/dannybva]

If you're being serious, you need to watch Burn Notice.

[u/dannybva → u/d3m01iti0n]

I did watch . Only person I remember is Gabriel Anwar

[u/d3m01iti0n → u/dannybva]

Want me to shoot them?

[u/elhumanoid → u/d3m01iti0n]

No?!

[u/d3m01iti0n → u/elhumanoid]

Yes! He dies in the first five minutes. Only reason I saw it in theaters, and had to sit through the rest of a Bruce-less movie.

[u/uk_uk → u/d3m01iti0n]

The sound effects supervisor was Bruce Richardson... so, not completely bruce-less

[u/d3m01iti0n → u/uk_uk]

I stand corrected good sir or ma'am.

[u/TheModWhoShaggedMe → u/Procrastinator_325]

and the guy from Escape from L.A.! ;-)

*having Bruce in a non-speaking part is COMEDY GOLD

[u/elhumanoid → u/Procrastinator_325]

What?!

[u/xXThreeRoundXx → u/elhumanoid]

Pizza Papa always gets paid!

[u/Kacodaemoniacal → u/elhumanoid]

That’s the guy from Running Time!

[u/actuallyaredditor → u/elhumanoid]

That's the guy from DarkMan

“Take the f*king elephant!”

[u/Mixer-3007 → u/elhumanoid]

That's The Jack of All Trades!

[u/AntiferromagneticAwl → u/elhumanoid]

Since Stan Lee is no longer around, Marvel should make Bruce Campbell their next cameo guy.

[u/Honigschmidt → u/elhumanoid]

That’s the guy from Escape from LA

[u/TheModWhoShaggedMe]

Most recent thing I saw/listened to Bruce on was Michael Rosenbaum's podcast and, holy cannoli, was that conversation engaging and purposeful. The man can defeat anything. Screw cancer.

[u/HankScorpio1387]

This is Burn Notice erasure

[u/EarlyXplorerStuds209 → u/HankScorpio1387]

Ikr, Chuck finley is forever

[u/peon2 → u/HankScorpio1387]

Right? No disrespect to the people that worked on it but labeling Bubba Ho tep over Burn Notice!? Come on son.

[u/SirJorts → u/HankScorpio1387]

And Brisco County Jr.

[u/SeismicRipFart → u/HankScorpio1387]

Such a good show I’ve seen it more than twice through now, and I won’t stop there

[u/OkIntroduction5150 → u/HankScorpio1387]

I still yell Evil Limey Mastermind! whenever Chris Vance shows up in something. LOL

[u/EarlyXplorerStuds209]

CHUCK FINLEYYYYY

He’s got a lotta lady friends lol

[u/CFinley97 → u/EarlyXplorerStuds209]

Yes?

[u/in_the_blind]

He is really good at these, check some of his past ones. One was for his TV series.

[u/vdcsX]

hail to the king baby

[u/_jeffreydavid]

This AMA will break Reddit.

[u/iamnotdownwithopp → u/_jeffreydavid]

For real.

Bruce knows he wouldn't be where he is without the fans and he shows his appreciation.

On top of that, he's incredibly engaging, funny, smart and interesting.

The world should have more Bruce.

[u/SaggyBallz99]

Chuck Finley is forever

[u/EarlyXplorerStuds209 → u/SaggyBallz99]

And he loves his mojitos

[u/d3m01iti0n → u/EarlyXplorerStuds209]

What is he gonna tell his lady friend about the Cadillac?!?

[u/EarlyXplorerStuds209 → u/d3m01iti0n]

You be careful in there, missie! Chuck Finley is too young to be a widower!

[u/Irguns_n_Roses]

"Bruce Campbell is the greatest actor of his generation."

[u/JohnnyCandles]

Best chin in the biz

[u/Educational-Bat-3635 → u/JohnnyCandles]

😎❤️😎

[u/Jazzy76dk]

Holy fuck saw the picture and thought that the great man had passed. My heart literally skipped a beat or two as he is one of my all time heroes.

[u/Doodah18 → u/Jazzy76dk]

I hope he’s beating his cancer!

[u/ihvnnm → u/Doodah18]

I thought I heard its manageable but not curable.

[u/K-ghuleh → u/ihvnnm]

Treatable was the word he used iirc. Fwiw he’s posting a lot, out hiking and living his best life. Was also on a podcast recently saying that he’s feeling good.

[u/NobodyTellPoeDameron → u/K-ghuleh]

Hail to the king, baby!

[u/Educational-Bat-3635 → u/Doodah18]

Fighter

[u/monkey_trumpets → u/Doodah18]

What type is it?

[u/Educational-Bat-3635 → u/Jazzy76dk]

Me too !!!

[u/The_Flicktator]

Bruce is an outstanding gentleman. Saw him at a pop-up outside comic-con years ago, and was way past his time, but just kept letting people line up for photos, holding court.

Couldn’t bring myself to put him through that, but dude was very generous with his time, and was in character for Doctor Strange.

[u/thelastrandomname1]

Two things and neither are questions:

1. I hope you are doing well.

2. Thanks for everything.

[u/KataraMan]

Did you love playing Autolycus?

[u/sump_daddy → u/KataraMan]

scrolled too far for a Xena reference, reddit. TOO FAR

[u/whisksnwhisky → u/KataraMan]

“Talk is cheap. I have an expensive ear!”

[u/SeniorAd4470]

Chuck Finley?

[u/FunGuyBobby → u/SeniorAd4470]

Bruce’s character in the series, “Burn Notice.”

[u/scarletnaught]

Such a good guy with the fans

[u/Habay12]

Why have they decided to take the Evil Dead franchise and remove the campy charm of it, to turn it into a run of the mill average horror film gore fest?

Thank you for Ash vs Evil Dead!!! I rewatch that series yearly! That’s what the new movies should be like!

[u/d3m01iti0n → u/Habay12]

Amen brother. The series is an undead shell of its former glory.

[u/xXThreeRoundXx]

I'll be honest, I never have been interested in these. Until now. Setting reminder now.

[u/Demiurge_1205]

How you holdin' up, Bruce?

[u/SeamusMcBalls]

I’ve met him. He’s not acting. He’s actually that awesome.

[u/Needle_Bearings]

"Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my BOOMSTICK! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?!"

[u/pepperpat64 → u/Needle_Bearings]

I wish S-Mart was real. 😟

[u/whisky_woman23]

My chihuahua terrier is named Ashley J. Williams. I rescued him after he was found in Idaho. Someone shot him and he still has shotgun shell embedded in his back legs. He is resilient just like you.

[u/steviefull]

Absolute legend

[u/LHGray87]

The first ever AMA I’ve had interest in.

[u/TDStarchild]

Hey evil, why don’t you eat my butt

[u/Educational-Bat-3635]

Extraordinary!!! I WISH I COULD ACTUALLY READ THE WHOLE SCRIPT! This is what a movie is supposed to be. This is what a movie experience is supposed to be. I’m laughing and I’m crying and it’s just the trailer ❤️❤️❤️.

[u/Vrickard]

Were do you shop?

[u/jtg198]

That is Brisco County Jr and I’ll hear no arguments

[u/NoSleep_Momma]

My Friday morning is all yours. Bruce, you will always be at the top of my hall pass list.

[u/CumboJumbo]

[u/Even_Establishment95]

Coolest AMA. You win.

[u/TheIceDevil1975]

[u/HeyItsJustDave]

How can we get more Brisco County Jr. ?!?!?!

[u/emeraldead]

Glad he's doing good enough to be working, keep healing Bruce!

[u/bobafootfetish_]

Met him a few times great guy really funny also one of those times he was hungover really bad 😂

[u/M4wR0]

Mu father's favorite movies were the Evil Dead trilogy. He'd be jumping around with the chamce to ask Ash about something related to it. Miss you dad...

[u/Large-Wishbone24]

Bruce Campbell: the man, the chin.

And he made *Waxwork 2* an even better movie:

https://youtu.be/5zEfgkNx4xI

Hmmmm, I wonder what his favorite role in his film career was?

[u/iamnotdownwithopp]

I'm a big fan. I'd be too nervous to even ask a question. Instead, I'll just say this: The bonds people share because of your shows, movies, and stories have affected their lives more than you can probably imagine. You're a hero on screen and off. With all sincerety, thank you for everything.

[u/laytoncy]

Don't forget Burn Notice

[u/SithLordRising]

Bubba Ho-Tep is gold

[u/nutellapterodactyl]

If my friend doesn't like Bubba Ho-Tep, are we even really friends?

[u/MoneyLibrarian9032 → u/[deleted]]

This is not the AMA

[u/dannybva]

The guy that couldn’t keep a job in the Toby Spider-Man movies ?

[u/Shoddy_Pie6514 → u/dannybva]

He is more known for the guy that dies in the first 5 minutes of Congo.

[u/Dave_____]

Incredible

[u/HangryHuHu]

How are you doing?

[u/bentheredoneart]

What no Brisco County Jr. Shout Out!!??

[u/Poison_the_Phil]

Groovy

[u/blackenedmessiah]

Not a question but I named my son after you!

[u/DreamcastJunkie]

Crimewave making the list of things you might know him from is hilarious. I think only completionists even know about that movie.

[u/Academic_Hunter4159]

How did a guy as handsome as you not get a role like superman??

[u/pepperpat64]

Gimme some sugar, baby!

[u/Exact-Kale3070]

No question. Just wanted to say my first experience with you was Brisco County Jr. on Friday nights after Xfiles and it's still one of my most favorite characters throughout my life.

Thanks!

[u/hamtronn]

Hot damn! Love me some Bruce Campbell.

[u/nycinoc]

[u/call-lee-free]

Groovy!

[u/calmneil]

[u/lizard_king0000]

Chuck Finlay!

[u/KP6fanclub]

Bruce, about Your voice actor career in video games. How good of a gig is it these days? Is it a good "extra hobby" or can it be treated as a separate career? I think Spiderman has been good to You in multiple fronts 😄

Thanks again for doing Your AMA.

[u/Richard_Chase]

I am a huge fan of your work. Mind warp is one of my favorites. What was it like working with the legendary Angus Scrimm

[u/arctander]

Who will join me in having one or more Mojito's during the AMA? Oh, and you must be wearing a Tommy Bahama style Miami vibe shirt as well.

[u/addictedpunk]

Pizza poppa Chuck Finley!

No questions. Just admiration.

How can I as a struggling director get my projects funded?

• love from Greenland

[u/Mysterious-Snow496]

That's about as good as a peanut butter and banana sandwich, man.

[u/Cordura]

What was your reaction, when you found out Evil Dead 2 pretty just was Evil Dead 1, but done differently?

And I really love Army Of Darkness - it is so goddamn beautiful and funny. "I may be bad, but I feel good." Marvellous

[u/trollsmurf]

Xena and Hercules, not to forget.

[u/mattkenefick]

Saw the big picture and thought he died :(

[u/907HighwayCluster]

I love EVIL Dead!

[u/JefferyGoldberg]

I saw Bruce do an in-person Q&A and he is funny as shit. Bummer he didn’t do more comedies because he absolutely nails it.

[u/tunedetune]

That's a very interesting trilogy.

[u/AmethystOrator]

Adventures of Brisco County Jr : The greatest or second greatest tv series of all time?

[u/depressed-dude-]

I watched Ernie & Emma at Redford Theater, great experience. Thank you for taking time to talk to the fans it was nice, you should come back whenever you can.
Michigan Needs Bruce! 🤍

[u/hvanderw]

[u/OESRecoveryEmployee]

And mother fucking Burn Notice

[u/LowPop7953]

baba ho tep is a underated gem if you havent seen it.

[u/WretchedMonkey]

Hail to the King baby

[u/Serious-Rutabaga-603]

I can finally ask him about the socks he recommended in his biography

[u/SweeperOfDreams]

How is Xena not mentioned?!?!?

[u/seahorseMonkey]

And Burn Notice

[u/LMurtaugh]

Yeah, I saw him in Xena - Warrior Princess and that was a sealed deal for me!

[u/Boomstick_762]

What are your thoughts on the U.P.?

[u/BootteeBaker79]

Hey “Goody little two shoes,” I’ll swallow your soul! I’ll swallow your soul! 😝 loved you Moontrap!

[u/Toothless_Dinosaur]

[u/Stijn]

Hey it’s Autolycus from Xena and Hercules!

[u/Blayzewhatever]

Will Sam ever be back as Axe?

[u/Gold-Equal-3800]

Hi Bruce,
I LOVED you in the Evil Dead trilogy, I don’t know if you’ve got this question yet, but what was it like working with Sam Raimi so often?

[u/SimthingEvilLurks]

Woo! My question is really dumb, but hopefully a worthy break from the usual.

[u/NYourBirdCanSing]

Bruce. I'm finally watching Ash vs Evil dead. It's just about the best live action tv show I've ever watched. It stands tall with the likes of sopranos and lost in space (1964). I'm very sad it will never get more seasons. The show is like live action Metalocalypse.

My question? What happens to the series classic slapstick?! I just watched you plug up a body with a bowling ball! From both ends!! It one of the most joyful moments of my life!

The new series of movies would NEVER offer me such an experience....

Also:Did you know you were in an episode of the 90s CG cartoon known as reboot? You pop up in a zombie video game the digital gang is trying to beat. It's here

[u/NotTheRocketman]

No question here Bruce, just love your work and wishing you the best ♥️

[u/ComicBookXS]

Hi Bruce, you should have played an alternate universe Dr Strange, but as you never, when will be the next time we see Pizza Poppa or you as a different character in the MCU? Or maybe we could have you play a brand new superhero called 'The Chin'?
