12 Best Films & TV Shows Starring Bruce Campbell

"You want a disaster? Anyone here seen Assault On Dome 4?"

Bruce Campbell is the greatest b-movie actor of all time. Think about it: can you name another indie actor with a CV like his? He has been a regular in some of the lowest-rated television series of the past 20 years. He played "Soap Opera Actor On TV" in the Coen brothers' Fargo. He stole the show as the voice of Captain Shuggazoom in Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! He starred in a series of Old Spice adverts in which he performed a spoken word version of Duran Duran's Hungry Like The Wolf. He even appeared as the Surgeon General Of Beverley Hills in John Carpenter's epic Escape From... Erm... L.A. For some reason though, Bruce has never really caught the breaks that his acting ability, comic timing and giant chin should have generated. He remains relatively unknown beyond his solid cult audience, despite unforgettable cameos in films like From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters. Many of his films have been unfairly dismissed or ignored because of their minute budgets, low profile and lengthy titles. There are some definite gems in his film and television career that deserve another look. He has starred in perhaps the greatest low-budget horror trilogy ever; he played Elvis Presley; he made cameos in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films... Hell, he even has his own Being John Malkovich-style fictional biopic. And incredibly, they're not all bad!
