Bruce Campbell
A few years later, Bruce Campbell and Raimi got together with other family and friends and began work on The Evil Dead. Campbell starred and worked behind the camera, receiving a "co-executive producer" credit; Raimi wrote, directed and edited.
Following an endorsement by horror writer Stephen King, the film slowly began to receive distribution. Four years following its original release, it became the number one movie in the UK. It then received distribution in the U.S., spawning two sequels: Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness. The first two films in the series are considered horror classics and are credited with spawning the "horror comedy" genre.
He has appeared in many of Raimi's films outside of the Evil Dead series, notably including all the Spider-Manfilm series. He also appeared in Raimi's Darkman and The Quick and the Dead.
Campbell often takes on quirky roles, such as Elvis Presley in the film Bubba Ho-tep, and appears in B-Movies. Along with Bubba Ho-tep, Campbell played a supporting role in the 2005 film Sky High, and stars in My Name Is Bruce. He also was in the Jim Carrey drama The Majestic.
Campbell also had a key supporting role in the Coen Brothers film The Hudsucker Proxy. He appeared in the Coen Brothers film Fargo as well.
He also starred in the Michael Crichton adaptation Congo. He starred in the much anticipated McHale's Navy remake as well as John Carpenter's sequel to his classic film Escape From New York, Escape From L.A.
Campbell was also the star of the Maniac Cop B-Movie franchise.
