Description: In 1979 with his Detroit friends, Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell raised $350,000 for a low-budget film, Posesión infernal (1981), in which he starred and co-executive produced. Completed piecemeal over four years, the film first gained notoriety in England where it became the best-selling video of 1983, beating out The Shining. After its appearance at Cannes, where Stephen King dubbed it "the most ferociously original horror film of the year," New Line Cinema stepped forward to release Evil Dead in the U.S. After co-producing Ola de crímenes... ola de risas (1985), a cross-genre comedy written by Sam Rai In 1979 with his Detroit friends, Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell raised $350,000 for a low-budget film, Posesión infernal (1981), in which he starred and co-executive produced. Completed piecemeal over four years, the film first gained notoriety in England where it became the best-selling video of 1983, beating out The Shining. After its appearance at Cannes, where Stephen King dubbed it "the most ferociously original horror film of the year," New Line Cinema stepped forward to release Evil Dead in the U.S.

After co-producing Ola de crímenes... ola de risas (1985), a cross-genre comedy written by Sam Raimi, Ethan and Joel Coen, Campbell moved to Los Angeles and quickly gained a foothold producing or starring in genre films such as the Maniac Cop (1988) series, Lunatics: A Love Story (1991), Moontrap. Trampa en la luna (1989), and Odisea en el tiempo (1992), a post-apocalyptic Jeremiah Johnson, during which he met his wife-to-be, filmmaker, Ida Gearon.

Campbell then rejoined his Detroit colleagues to star and co-produce the second and third films in the Evil Dead trilogy (Terroríficamente muertos (1987) & El ejército de las tinieblas (1992)), completing 12 years of work on the cult favorite.

This rough-and-tumble background was a plus as Campbell made his foray into television, first starring in the highly touted Fox series Las aventuras de Brisco County (1993), then as a recurring guest-star on the hit show Lois y Clark: las nuevas aventuras de Superman (1993).

With these under his belt, Campbell easily made the transition to director, helming numerous episodes and recurring as the King of Thieves in the #1 syndicated Hércules (1995), and its follow-up phenomenon, Xena, la princesa guerrera (1995).

Bruce has since expanded his range on television, appearing in anything from Disney's update of Ahí va ese bólido de nuevo (1997), to decidedly dramatic turns on the acclaimed series Homicidio (1993) and Expediente X (1993). At the invitation of ABC, Campbell ventured into the world of sitcoms with a recurring role on ABC's Emmy-nominated Ellen (1994), participating in one of the three touted "out" episodes.

But Campbell didn't abandon his film roots. During that time, he had featured roles in the blockbuster Congo (1995), John Carpenter's 2013: rescate en L.A. (1996), and the award-winning independent crime drama, Running Time (1997). He followed these up with roles in Paramount's romantic comedy, Colgado de Sara (2002), Jim Carrey's The Majestic (2001), and all three of Sam Raimi's blockbuster Spider-Man movies.

After a return to episodic television in the swashbuckling series, El rey de los tramposos (2000), Campbell took the title role in MGM's cult sleeper Bubba Ho-Tep (2002). His directorial debut, Man with the Screaming Brain (2005) premiered on the Sci Fi Channel, and Dark Horse Comics published the comic adaptation.

Campbell then directed and starred as himself in Posesión demencial (2007), a spoof of his B-movie career, then re-teamed with Disney for their fun-filled hit, Sky High, una escuela de altos vuelos (2005).

Campbell has since made the leap into other forms of entertainment, and is enjoying his role as an author with back-to-back New York Times bestsellers: a memoir entitled If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor, and his first novel, Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way.

In the multi-media industry, Bruce has enjoyed voicing characters for Disney's animated TV series The Legend of Tarzan (2001) and the Warner Brothers feature Ant Bully. Bienvenido al hormiguero (2006). He also portrayed the character of Mayor Shelbourne in the animated hit film Lluvia de albóndigas (2009). Recently, Campbell voiced the role of Rod Torque Redline in Cars 2 (2011), the sequel to the smash Disney animated feature and for the immensely popular game, Call of Duty.

In 2013, Bruce Co-Produced the hit remake of Posesión infernal (2013), joined his filmmaking pal Sam Raimi on Oz, un mundo de fantasía (2013), and completed an impressive seven-year run on spy show _Burn Notice (2007-2013)_, USA's #1 show on cable.

More than two decades after the release of El ejército de las tinieblas (1992), Bruce returned to his most iconic role for Ash vs Evil Dead (2015), a highly-anticipated series premiering on the Starz network Halloween 2015. ... (more)

Male Celebrity Harem. (33 person items)

"Speaking of chins, say hello to Bruce Campbell. Better known to horror fans as the iconic Ash Williams, he's one of the most iconic badass actors ever. Good, bad - he's the guy with the gun. Hail to the king, baby. Not to mention he played elderly Elvis Presley. And i'm pretty sure he could play Gaston as well."
