10 Famous Actors Who Play The Same Role In Every Horror Movie
3. Bruce Campbell
Sometimes an actor will become so intrinsically linked with a specific character that it becomes impossible for them to be anyone else in a film.
This is most definitely the case for horror heartthrob Bruce Campbell and his most famous persona, Ash Williams.
The main character of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series, Ash is a shotgun-toting, smart alec who goes up against the marauding Deadites when they are summoned by the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis.
Campbell has played Ash in four movies, one TV show, and a whole bunch of video games. When you spend that much time with a character, parts of it are just going to come out without you even noticing.
Ever since Evil Dead, Campbell has made a living playing Ash-adjacent characters. He's been a wise-cracking anti-hero in Maniac Cop, Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat, and Bubba Ho-Tep the name but a few.
In that last one, he manages to play Ash whilst simultaneously playing Elvis Presley!
So Bruce Campbell's only got one gear, who cares? Ash is a great character that people love to see even to this very day.
Brucey's just trying to give the people what they want.
