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’ve always said that (in addition to talent/ability) you need two important things to break into Showbiz (especially films or TV) - you need persistence, and you need luck! Bruce Campbell (born in 1958) had both, as he reveals in this, his first book. Bruce did all the things I did when I first started. He knocked on a lot of doors. He offered to work for free. He networked and made friends. Finally, he got lucky with his mate Sam Raimi, who cast him as Ash Williams in the classic indie hit “Evil Dead”. This autobiography is a great read. Humble. interesting. Funny. Useful … especially if you hope to follow in Bruce’s footsteps. Several of my movie industry friends wanted to read it after me. They all said, “That’s how I broke into showbiz”. So, I recommend this book as a great read for anyone hoping to do the same.
