Rendition As Books If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor

Okay, so at least you're interested enough to pick up this book and look inside. I think you and I are going to get along just fine. Life is full of choices. Right now, yours is whether or not to buy the autobiography of a mid-grade, kind of hammy actor. Am I supposed to know this guy? you think to yourself. No, and that's exactly the point. Bookstores are chock full of household name actors and their high stakes shenanigans. I don't want to be a spoilsport, but we've all been down that road before. Case in point: look to your left - see that Judy Garland book? You don't need that, you know plenty about her already - great voice, crappy life. Now look to your right at the Charlton Heston book. You don't need to cough up hard-earned dough for that either. You know his story too - great voice, crappy toupee. The truth is that though you might not have a clue who I am, there are countless working stiffs like me out there, grinding away every day at the wheel of fortune. If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor is my first book, and I invite you to ride with me through the choppy waters of blue collar Hollywood. Okay, so buy the damned book already and read like the wind! Best, Bruce Campbell P.S. If the book sucks, at least there are gobs of pictures, and they're not crammed in the middle like all those other actor books.

I finally got all the Quarry books & was dying to read them, so why did I read this instead? Am I a FAN? A Deadite? Yeah, sort of. I've loved the Evil Dead movies since... well, a really long time, and I've liked Bruce Campbell's acting. He doesn't seem to take himself too seriously & his on-screen sense of humor seems to mesh well with mine. After reading this book, I understand why.Let me qualify this by saying I'm not much for following actors or famous people. When I heard Mel Gibson

This was okay-ish. Campbell isn't a great writer, but he does seem like a genuinely great guy who is very thankful for his success. The book, however, just sort of seems to skim the surface of his life. I guess I was just hoping for something a bit more interesting, rather than a quick rehash of how he got to where he was. Shame on me, I guess, for wanting more gossip-y stuff, but that would have been more compelling.

Read this quite a while back but must have forgotten to mark it as read. If you love Bruce Campbell and the Evil Dead franchise, you will love this book

Excellent. Of course it's funny. Of course it's brilliant. But here's the rub. Campbell has starred in B-movies, been a bit actor in blockbusters, and has also both directed and written for film/t.v. Even more, his first films are on Super-8. Shot by himself and a group of friends, including Sam Raimi (Spiderman), starting at the ages of 18-21. The book outlines the gangs' career from their garage,s to raising their own money for theatrically released independent films (Evil Dead et al), to

This is a review of the audiobook version - The King of the Bs takes a breezey, light-hearted trip down memory lane. Anecdote rich and often funny, this account covers Bruce's career up until 2001, from his early years making Super 8 shorts with Sam Raimi and Robert Taipert, through the arduous but ultimately career launching production of The Evil Dead and on through the occasional ups and frequent downs of life as a member of 'the Hollywood lower-middle class'. Hercules and Xena fans will find

November 14, the race began. Right from the get go, filming was a comedy of errors, or terrors, if you will. Within minutes of leaving for the first location, an abandoned bridge, the production van got lost and we spent a half-hour trying to locate it. No sooner had we found it than Sam drove his Classic into a ditch and we had to get a towtruck to haul it out. The next location was an isolated dirt road. Sam felt that a high, wide shot would be best. We werent versed in the etiquette of

Great book! Bruce Campbell's storytelling of how he made it in the behind the scenes of Hollywood was funny and entertaining. Even if you don't know who Bruce Campbell is (which I know you've seen him in something) read this book.
