Bruce Campbell to Join PHXCC 2014

Phoenix Comicon is proud to announce that actor Bruce Campbell will be attending Comicon 2014.

Bruce Campbell is an American actor who is best known for his character of Ash Williams in the cult horror Evil Dead series of movies.

“We are very excited to announce our first guest for Phoenix Comicon 2014 as Bruce Campbell,” says Convention Director Matt Soberg.

Campbell burst onto the scene in 1981's The Evil Dead, in which he is part of a group of college kids staying at a remote cabin in the woods when demonic shenanigans begin to unfold. Despite its low budget, the film went on to become one of the the most iconic cult horror movies and help to launch the careers of both Campbell, and his friend and director, Sam Raimi. Campbell would reprise the role of Ash  for sequels, Evil Dead 2 (1987) and Army of Darkness (1992).

In addition to the Evil Dead series of movies, Campbell has also had roles in major studio movies Congo (1995) and Escape From L.A. (1996). He also co-starred on the television series Burn Notice as Sam Axe, which aired from 2007-2013.

Campbell is also an accomplished voice actor, has dabbled in directing and his 2002 autobiography, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor  became a New York Times Best Seller. He will reprise his famous Ash Williams character for the upcoming Army of Darkness 2 movie.
