10 Actors Who Play Themselves In Every Movie

9. Bruce Campbell

Ever since he played Ash in Sam Raimi's immortal Evil Dead trilogy, he's been one of the most enjoyably loopy screen presences in horror-comedies, and even when he's attempted forays into other fare, he's always got the same manic, cheeky composure. Whether he's being ripped apart by a gorilla in Congo or playing a wrestling announcer, a snooty waiter, or quite literally himself, there's the same sense that Campbell might not have a lot of range, but he makes up for it with his seemingly inherent comic timing. A big part of the reason for him appearing this way is that Ash remains his most memorable and iconic role; it essentially got him most of his subsequent roles, and of course, his appearances in the Spider-Man films have essentially been an in-joke for Sam Raimi's loyal fanbase. Still, we're not going to complain; we don't really want to see Campbell paring it down and playing it stoic - we love how mental he is.
