Unaired Bruce Campbell Nike Commercial

[EvilDeadEd]

I saw this topic raised on IMDB yesterday. I wonder if someone could acquire it somehow . . .

Bruce, from a recent interview:

"Q: So, you hurt yourself filming this scene.

A: In a way. Emotionally I hurt myself. It's emotionally damaging chopping wood and knowing that nobody's going to see it.

Like, I did a Nike commercial once. It never aired. I never saw it. It never, ever aired. I think it's in the Nike museum now. I remember shooting it, and everyone seemed really happy. "Oh, this is wonderful. Oh, this is just like this. Oh, I'm so glad we're doing this." Cut to tumbleweeds. That's an emotional scar: to not get your Nike ad aired. A deep scar.

Q: What was the content of the ad?

A: It was very "Hudsucker Proxy." A guy with his hat tipped back, a very period reporter, doing a blow-by-blow of something happening and typing at the same time. I don't know. You got me, brother.

Q: This was before the "Old Spice" ads, before people figured out you were advertising gold?

A: Exactly. Nike didn't know. They must have seen "Alien Apocalypse" or something."

interesting.  I'm sure this happens to a lot of actors, though.

And lets reiterate what is said so often: bruce campbell is awesome for the way he never takes himself seriously.  Though I guess that's obvious... thats what "my name is bruce" is all about.

And damn Old Spice for doing new commercials without him.  Gold, I tells ya!  Gold!!!

He was hungry like the wolf man! That will always be one of my favorite commercials.

personally, I prefer the one where he walks from one chair and fireplace along a giant picture to an identical fireplace and chair.  Pure Campbell action.

 The "Hungry Like A Wolf" is my favorite.

The one with the fireplace had a chainsaw behind Bruce on the wall.
