Thank you for being so wonderfully supportive, Sister776. It really does mean a lot to me. I think it'll be great to have these threads on hand! I'm going to recruit a few BC-aholics in the near future to help me with sorting through some of the older articles I've got on Bruce. If only I had a full-time job as a BN researcher, all would be right with the world. tongue.gif laugh.gif

Burn Notice - The Bruce Campbell Interview
http://tvblog.ugo.com/tv/burn-notice-bruce...pbell-interview

It's pretty short, so I'll post it here (I didn't see any spoilers in it):
QUOTE (UGO Bruce Campbell interview)
Back for another summer of sun, sand and spy hi-jinx, Burn Notice returns for its third season this Thursday at 9pm. One of the show's more colorful stars, Bruce Campbell, who plays a kind of Jimmy Buffett meets Jason Bourne as double-agent Sam Axe, took to the phone today to field questions on the hit show's new season and the future of the unemployed, homeless former NAVY Seal.

Asked about where Sam is headed this season, Campbell explained to the TV press on the line, "we're now past the point where we don't trust (Sam). He's a valuable member of the team now. So like Michael Westen, Sam's taking the twists and turns as they come now. I don't know that Sam's going to get married or have any personal revelations. Sam is pretty much living in Michael's mother's house and he's kind of a permanent loser. At least in this season - and he's always there to help."

Regarding Michael's immediate future, Campbell suggested things could get tougher for the burned out spy. "It's going to get worse for Michael Westen this year. His world is a little more unstable. He's not necessarily under the thumb of Carla anymore, the evil temptress from last season. She's out of the way but that's not necessarily a good thing. His veil of protection has been lifted by these shadowy figures. We have to stick together and watch each other's backs to pull through. And as things get worse you have to know who you can count on," said Campbell.

On relating to his own character, Campbell seems to find some of himself in Sam. "I like Sam because he's my age. When I got the original script for the pilot it said 'Sam Axe, who is 50' and I thought 'wow, I'm finally playing a mature adult, who's an ex-Navy Seal, going around trying to get laid and drink beer. I love the fact that all three characters on this show are sort of damaged goods. He's a character who is like an ole' flipper. He's not stiff, he doesn't use all the same terminology, he uses slang, he's a litte bit laid back, he's wearing Tommy Bahama all the time. I like the fact that he's can be so lacsadaisical, yet at the same time he can look up anybody, he's got friends for days and always knows a guy who knows a guy. He's a guy you want to pal around with but who is very tactical when he needs to be."

As for his favorite aspects of Sam's personality, Campbell remarked, "he's very loyal, he's not gonna rat on anybody. Even in the first season, he never really ratted on Michael. He is trust worthy even though he drinks a lot. I do wish he would get a job or a car he can hang on to. But I'm not telling the writers what to do. They're doing a fine job."

On Michael and Sam's chemistry, Campbell admitted that "Sam can be a little snotty, a little snide. a nay sayer, making sure everything is safe and tactical. Michael is more of the passionate one, he's got to help these people and Sam's like "no you don't". It's nice to have those differences between the characters. Someone's gotta be the straight guy and it's Michael Westen. It's great because he carries the show. I'm just hiding behind him. Cracking jokes and getting out of there."

And what about Sam's darker side? A man with his kind of past surely has one. Said Campbell, "you saw it a little bit of it in the first season when he was being interrogated. He's interrogated people before and he's been interrogated. He has a tough side but on the outside these guys are just normal schmoes. As for his dark side, I'm sure Sam has killed multiple people. I'm sure Michael Westen has killed multiple people. Fiona has probably killed more than both of us. Sam, I think will go to the dark side but he won't stay there, it's not his bag. I think Sam appreciates life by being so close to death."

Finally, on how Sam scores all the ladies, Campbell claims it's due to his "special skills." What those are, he didn't elaborate, only confiding that "it doesn't matter that he has no car or job or place to live. He's doing something with or to the ladies that's very successful which we can't discuss here."

Sounds like he did a phone interview with other press on it, so hopefully we'll get a longer version of this interview soon.

Thanks for that link. This was a great interview with Bruce. I thought it was interesting that, though he has directed some episodic tv, he would not want to direct BN and take the risk changing the dynamics between the actors.
I didn't quite get all the Sam Rami talk though. I guess he directed BC and that they are friends.

Thanks Karendipitee smile.gif That was a great interview with BC - we even got to find out Sam Axe's favorite book laugh.gif I thought he made really interesting points about directing, too. He & Raimi go waaaaay back personally (since high school) & professionally - it's so hilarious they rib each other when their shows have success!

A Bruce interview (I think it is different than mentioned above):

Bruce Campbell, King Of The B Movie

NPR: Bruce Campbell, King Of The B Movie


This article is pretty funny:

6/2/09
Kiss His Ash

Burn Notice's Bruce Campbell may not be an A-lister, but the big-chinned actor is an icon, nonetheless
Newsroom – By Dan Sweeney
Kiss His Ash

For a weird segment of the population, Bruce Campbell is the finest actor working today. The star of Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" trilogy is treated with a sort of awe among his rabid fan base, so much so that the actor put out an indie film last year, "My Name Is Bruce," lampooning "Evil Dead" fanboys. Despite these accolades, Campbell has never quite hit mainstream success, a fact he bemoans in his two autobiographical books, "If Chins Could Kill" and "Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way." In fact, his current run as wisecracking sidekick Sam Axe on USA Network's "Burn Notice" may be the closest he's come to the great brass ring.

I have counted myself as something of a Campbell aficionado ever since his all-too-short-lived series "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.," which I watched faithfully in high school. From there, I gained an appreciation for Campbell's complete oeuvre, and can now quote large parts of "Army of Darkness" from rote. So when I heard Campbell was appearing at this year's Florida Supercon, the annual comic-book convention held in Miami, I swept aside the usual format of this column and have replaced it with a Campbell Q&A. I reached the man by phone while he was driving to a "Burn Notice" set.

So where you headed exactly?
We're filming in downtown Miami, but we're all over town. Sixty percent of the show is outdoors, so we have to move around.

So you've gotten to know the city?
I guess so. I couldn't tell you where everything is. I go to a lot of places in the dark and come home in the dark. I'm in the dark a lot.

You're putting in an appearance at this local comic-book convention —
That's right. Supercon!

You do a lot of these appearances?
I squeeze 'em out. If it's time to sell a movie, I'll do a few to get the word out, but I don't do as many when I've got a television show. But this is in Miami, and I'm in Miami, so I figured I'd go out. Besides, it's market research. I look at what people are bringing me to sign, and I can gauge what people are into—more "Army of Darkness" stuff, less "Xena" stuff, or whatever. That, and I get to torment fans directly.

How do you go about tormenting your fans?
Throwing dumb questions right back at'em. Like, someone says, "Can you say, 'groovy'?" And I say, "Sure, if I'm your little monkey."

You actually get a lot of that? People telling you to say "groovy" or "Listen up, you primitive screwheads"?
There's some of that—say this line, say that line. And there's a lot of the Ash vs. so-and-so: Who would win? Like Jason vs. Freddy. And the answer is nobody, the franchises wouldn't allow it.

Still, that kinda shows what dedicated fans you have. Explain the Bruce Campbell je ne sais quoi.
I think I'm as irreverent as the average college kid, and they like that. I don't think they like the straight hero role. Some people like the antihero more than the regular hero. I'm not the CIA operative, "Bourne Identity" thing. To me, that's too humorless. … Also, I think there's a group of people that like weirder stuff, more extreme stuff. And I'll do a movie every so often that suits that palate.

Speaking of more-extreme stuff, what do you think about Sam Raimi's return to horror with "Drag Me to Hell?"
I think it's gonna kick some serious ass. I think "Drag Me to Hell" is gonna make Sam feel heavenly. Now that he's done all these studio pictures, he's finally allowed to have control over his film, and he hasn't had full control since the first "Evil Dead" movie. Control is quite the aphrodisiac to a creative type. And so this audience is gonna be punished bad. … Audience members pay for their own punishment. It's a weird thing. These are the thrill-seekers, the people that go on rides at amusement parks. They want to have that feeling of thinking, "Oh, my God, I'm gonna die! Oh, wait, I'm still alive."

You've certainly got a wider audience with "Burn Notice" now, though. How's that coming?
We hit the airwaves for the third season June 4. New time slot, 9 p.m. instead of 10 p.m. I guess they want us to be even more successful. Every time I don't star in the show, it lasts a long time. So being supporting, it'll last five, six years at least. People can only take so much of me is what it boils down to, I think.

I've been disappointed myself in how brief your starring stints have been. I watched Brisco County religiously.
Ah, so you were the one.

Yeah, that was me. So you spend a lot of your time in Miami now, yeah?
Almost seven months of the year. Each of 16 episodes takes seven days to shoot. I have a place in Oregon, and I haven't seen it since February, and I don't know when I'll see it next.

So how do you like our town?
It's pretty freewheeling. Not a whole lot of rules here. And if there are, people aren't really following them. It's a collision of cultures, which is a good thing because it's something we all have to get used to. Very good-looking people here, too, which is good. And if you like sweating, this is it. Oregon is so dry my face cracks off. Here, it's a little better.

Any drawbacks?
The minuses? I'll take a few more sidewalks. It's not a pedestrian or bike-friendly town.

Anything to add for the people coming to Supercon?
Just want to get the word out to folks that want to come out to this convention. There are many, many luminaries there to gawk at. My good friend Ted Raimi'll be there. … I hope these are fun for fans, some conventions are nice to people, others are not. And these fans are my clients! I gotta make sure my homies are taken care of.

Last question. Will you say "groovy"?
I'm not your monkey.

I don't know if y'all put reviews here, or just interviews with Bruce, but this review has a nice mention of Bruce so I thought BC fans might enjoy reading it.

http://www.examiner.com/x-9502-Salt-Lake-C...Notice-Season-2



and here's the paragraph about Bruce:

QUOTE
I had no clue that Bruce Campbell was currently on a television series, so the first time he came on screen as Sam Axe I chuckled out loud due to sheer surprise. Sam Axe is Weston's last connection to the government as well as his trusty sidekick. Axe is obviously the main comedic relief for the series and Campbell plays the role well. Sam spends a lot of his time helping out Michael whenever he needs it, but in the meantime since he isn't the richest guy in the world, he spends a lot of his time dating rich, older women who shower him with gifts, food, and a place to sleep. Sam is a very enjoyable character and compliments Weston well creating a very good dynamic between the two. Campbell hits some high comedic notes so much so that I would say -in comparison to some of his latest work- it's worth checking out Burn Notice for his character alone.

Burn Notice - The Bruce Campbell Interview
http://tvblog.ugo.com/tv/burn-notice-bruce...pbell-interview

He's not stiff, he doesn't use all the same terminology, he uses slang, he's a litte bit laid back, he's wearing Tommy Bahama all the time. I like the fact that he's can be so lacsadaisical, yet at the same time he can look up anybody, he's got friends for days and always knows a guy who knows a guy. He's a guy you want to pal around with but who is very tactical when he needs to be."


That's precisely what I like about Sam. I really like the way Bruce plays the character.

Bruce Campbell

Read Junk - Adam Coozer
http://www.readjunk.com/interviews/bruce-c...comment-page-1/

Action-dramedy-spy shows don’t typically win awards, and the USA Network isn’t typically known for its must-watch original programming. But thanks to a nifty premise, sharp writing, and most importantly, scene-stealing by Bruce Campbell, Burn Notice has become one of cable’s highest-rated non-reality shows.
