Ok here we go per JennaV's request.


Why we love Mr. Campbell so :

Um, his excellent acting skills, quick wit, crazy sense of humor, his goofy faces, evergrowing movie career (all excellent by the way) ....... all the funny pictures, his gag reel scenes, his very funny commentary (onthedvds) ....and the list goes on...oohh and he is adorable!!!!


why do you love him?

BC is handsome...it's that simple!

Anyway, Sam reminds me of my husband! I finally got him to stop wearing those chains, but I'm telling you he loves those shirts and there's plently of beer in our fridge not to mention the flirty behavior.

oh yummy!

He's absolutely adorable.

Bruce Campbell The greatest (b-movie) actor of all time... best known as Ash Williams, Mr. Boomstick, from Army of Darkness, The Evil Dead...
Ya Baby. And so much more...

what's that line a pictures worth a thousand words.....

Yessiree I'm one, Is this where I sign up?

My name is Di and I'm a BC-Aholic too... Where's the donuts?

I'll admit, I didn't know much about him before BN. I got him confused with Billy Cambell. But I love his Wit and mock.

Coming right up, Di..is this enough?? Geez, girl, what's with the donuts???



and for a little more sugar fix....




He's adorable!!! And I'm hooked. On both of them!!

Hey, Gia....

Why do I love Bruce Campbell? Let me count the reasons:

1. He wrote an amusing, engaging autobiography (If Chins Could Kill...)

2. He's got a great scar and dimple on the left side of his face

3. He can laugh at himself (Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way)

4. He makes me laugh, whether it's DVD commentary or media interviews

5. He's one of the most underrated performers ever

6. He makes classics out of cheesy lines ("Give me some sugar, baby"; "Hail to the king, baby"; "Groovy"; "Don't make me use my stuff on you")

7. He can get me to watch horror movies ("The Evil Deads, I & II")

8. He does great commentary on many of his movies that are on DVD

9. He plays Elvis in a nursing home...and convinces us it's possible ("Bubba Ho-Tep")

10. He gives me a new appreciation of the Three Stooges ("Evil Dead II"; "Army of Darkness")

11. He looks good on a horse ("The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr")

12. He looks good covered in Karo Syrup ("The Evil Deads, I & II")

13. He's from Michigan

14. Like Cary Grant, he just keeps getting better with age

15. Last, certainly not least, he's a damn fine actor.

that's a fantastic list, WestenWinch!

I heartily agree with everyone's postings above - Bruce has just 'got it'. Smart, sexy, funny - what's not to love? Rock on BC!

I love BC for all of the same reasons y'all have posted. But I am going to share a personal story which really shows why I love the man.

Back in 2005 I was attending the horror convention Horrorfind in Baltimore where Bruce was a guest. Now I just had met Bruce for the third time about 3 weeks prior to this con. His line was 4 hours long so I decided to wait this one out. I was standing at a vendor's table and I look over to see this little boy who looked to be about 10 years old in a wheelchair and I could tell by lookiing at him that he was terminally ill. He was holding an Ash action figure from Army of Darkness and I heard him say to his mom "I hope I get to meet Bruce mom" and his mom told him she would try her best to get through the line. About an hour later I am walking past Bruce's line (which was HUGE!) and I see the mom standing in line with her little boy. They had a good 3-hour wait and Bruce was due to stop signing soon. So I went up to the lady who was overseeing Bruce's line and asked that she move this little boy to the front of the line. She didn't want to do that because he would be cutting in line. I told her that I had met Bruce 3 times before and I know for a fact he always lets disabled people come to the front of the line and especially when it is a little boy! So she walks over to Bruce and tells him about this little boy and Bruce says absolutely, he should be up front. So they come out and get the mom and his boy and take him directly to Bruce. You guys should have seen the look on this little boy's face. He was in heaven! Bruce was just wonderful with this little guy and spent time with him. A little bit later I see this little boy again so this time I went up and talked to him and said "So you got to see Bruce huh?" and his eyes were positively beaming. I found out from his mom that they were from New Jersey and that this little boy, named Robert, had leukemia and she had to get permission from his doctor to travel to see Bruce. This was in August. In December Robert passed away. I emailed Bruce about Robert and told him the next time he thinks what he does is silly and useless, to remember this little boy because he was Robert's hero.

I am crying as I type this. It's one of those things that never leaves me.

OMG...I'm crying too! Thanks for the BC story. I've watched all the youtube stuff and he seems like a funny and geniunally nice man.

Wow...just wow.

I always wonder if people I admire for their acting abilities are as great in real life. For some--maybe most--probably not. It's nice to know that BC is one of the good guys.

mjwannabe, that story is so touching! Makes me admire BC so much more for his compassion. But for you, too, mjwannabe. You didn't have to speak up for Robert. Most people wouldn't have, but you went out of your way to assure him a chance to see Bruce. That was a beautiful thing you did!!!

Another line from "Army of Darkness". 

BC as Ash.
Evil Sheila     Thou didst find me beautiful once.
Ash                 Honey...You got real ugly. 

WestenWinch, love your BC list!! (and your user name)

He is a regular guy with a BIG heart. I think I read above that he's from Michigan. That explains his down-to-earth hard working mentality.  I tend to NOT want to know about my fav actor's personal life because I don't want to find anything negative about them that will spoil my enjoyment of the characters they portray. This guy and the entire cast of BN are exceptional.

Well thank you, I appreciate that. It completely broke my heart to see this sick little boy. And I can't believe that lady didn't want him cutting in line. Come on! I told her everyone else in line was healthy and able-bodied, they can stand in line. This little boy cannot. So I was glad it worked out. I had no doubt whatsoever that BC would want it that way. At least Robert got a little bit of happiness.

So yes BC is definitely one of the good guys!

I am a big Fan of Bruce Campbell and have been since "Army of Darkness"! If it were not for Bruce, I wouldn't have even started watching Burn Notice as I think he makes a GOOD Show GREAT!!

I just read the post about little Robert and had a good cry as well. Even though I'm one of those "manley Men"...at least that's what I want folks to think!

Bruce....Keep up the OUTSTANDING work you do!
Fans.... Keep watching & praising good work and deeds when you encounter it! PEACE!!

Yes, he was born and raised in a suburb of Detroit, MI, around the same time that I was born and raised on a farm in northwestern OH (about 70 miles south of Detroit). It was nice to read a book that contained information about a place that I knew. And yes, while there are hard working people all over, I believe the midwest has more than the average...

Thanks! I could have went on, and on...and on , but I figured 15 was a nice round number. Although now, after mjwannabe's touching, uplifting story, I think I need to add #16:

He's as great a person off screen, as he is an actor on screen.

Mjwannabe, I was remiss not to include you in my response post to your story. As JennaV stated, not everyone would have went out of their way to ensure that little Robert was able to meet Bruce. Very classy!

I love this line, too!

Also:
Sheila: But what of all those sweet words you spoke in private?
Ash: Oh that's just what we call pillow talk, baby, that's all.

There are some other good lines from Army of Darkness, but not sure if they're appropriate for this message board (funnier than heck, though).

In case someone's not aware (and to keep things straight), the "Don't make me use my stuff on ya, baby" is from Bubba Ho-tep. (This is the actual quote; I just checked. Sorry I didn't quote it accurately the first time; I should have known there was a "baby" in there).

Yes. I just saw Army of Darkness for the 2nd time over the weekend. I didn't care for it the first time I saw it which was last year. I sort of half-way paid attention to it. The 2nd time around I got the quick wit and I was thoroughly entertained. I was crackin' up thru out the movie.

That's right, I agree! LOL I am from Ohio so I have to agree with your statement right?

MikeC - don't worry - it's okay to cry no matter what anyone has told you.

Anyone on this board would have done the same thing! I like your #16, well said.

To mjwannabe thank you so much for sharing your story! That was really wonderful not only what Mr. Campbell did but also for your assistance too. It is really great to know that there are truly kind people out there. (i started crying reading it too) ... Mr. Campbell truly is big-hearted loveable guy. Peace & Thanks.

I just rewatched Loose Ends epi where Sam was kidnapped.




We need Sammy to keep the show light. Otherwise, we'd be stuck with Mr. "I've Been Burned and I Hate Miami" or Ms. "Let's Shot'em First then Ask Questions". 

Love it Vestokes. - ya sammy does keep it light and Fun! Still watchin the Dvds w/commentary on anybody else crack up alot over Mr. Campbell as - chuckfinley - when he cant drink? It must be constant laughs with him on set. Peace.

Thanks everyone for all the info about BC. As a new fan, I look forward to getting hold of his books and the rest of his movies.

I like BC for all of his talent, his openness/realness, and his responsiveness to fans. As I've said with JD, I have never bothered to get involved as a fan at all with any other actors that I admire. These guys just seem worth it because of how down-to-earth they are and because they seem mature enough that they won't go Hollywood on us with the increased exposure -- so glad to keep hearing things consistent with this.

Hey, not quite sure if this is going to work but .... thanks to Ashley over at photobucket for sharing... Peace.

Very cool. Just like the man. Thanks for sharing.

Did you all catch the new BC commerical for BN! Very nice!

I cried when I read the blurb on Bruce and that little boy. AND while I have done the same for others and I have been put in not altogether the same position as that little boy but very well could have been growing up, the comment that pisses me off the most was "ANYONE would have done the same thing". HONESTLY, ABSOLUTELY NOT. 99 percent of people don't nor would have but love to say and think that they would. I applaud Bruce for being nice enough to acknowlege him and yes, it was a very nice thing to make sure the little boy got to meet him.

Was it on USA? Or the website?

USA network..I also saw another one and he's wearing a brown suit and shooting a big gun with Fi. July 10th can't come soon enough!

hey again thanks to JennaV from over on JD-Aholics... so...heehee...here: Peace.

LMAO, Gia!!!!! He looks like a bobble-head Bruce! Love it!

And he carries the Chippendale look off with such aplomb.

I'm new to the forum, but I love Burn Notice and especially love Bruce Campbell. All the posts have been a blast to read! I was wanting to contribute more, but seeing as everyone is on top of the game I'll just leave it as this: Bruce Campbell is why I started watching Burn Notice, the fact that it is a smart, funny, and unique show is why I stick around....that and Bruce Campbell. =]

Welcome aboard! The people on here are very very nice. & yes Mr. Campbell is awesome! Peace.

He is the reason why I tuned in as well. I have Bruce to thank for turning me onto a great show!

I liked Bruce first in Briscoe County Jr years ago. I liked the quirkiness of that show. I've never really seen him in anything else until the great character he plays now in Burn Notice.

Brisco County, Jr was a classic (A hex on Fox for cancelling it after one season). You should check out some of the other Bruce films, such as Bubba Ho-Tep and Army of Darkness. Bruce does good work in each.

Here's A little ahhh... (thanks to Natasha over on the other thread for this picture)

Bruce is so cute in the pics from Brisco County Jr....am wanting to order the DVD set from Amazon, but it's kind of pricey right now. And, since the price probably won't go down, will just have to save!!! Glad to hear it was a good series! Love these shots of him:

mmm... very nice photos! BC makes me wanna say yee-haw!!!;)
