When
you think of cool actors you can't help but think of Bruce Campbell.
He has a certain laid back tough-guy style that comes through in
his work. While most remember him as Ash, the hero in the Evil
Dead series, he has done much more work in other programs such
as: Hercules & Xena, The Adventures of Brisco Country
Jr., Jack of All Trades as well as numerous other movies.
He is now returning to play Ash once again, not in a movie, but
in the computer / video game Evil Dead: Hail to the King.
We talked with Bruce to find out his role in the game and to chat
a bit more about his career.
PC Gameworld: I read that you are doing a bit more than just
the voice over for the Evil Dead: Hail to the King game.
Are you sharing your experiences filming the movies to give a more
authentic feel?
Bruce Campbell: Yes, in a semi-vague way. With limited time
thesedays, I at least had a chance to review the basic game layout
that THQ did and was very impressed with their attention to detail
with regards to backgrounds, characters, etc. That's why this game
will be so fun for the hard-core Evil Dead fan - the guys
who are doing the game are fans as well and they want it to rock.
Guess what? It will...
PC Gameworld: As I am sure you know all too well, when somebody
tells you of a project and when you finally see the project fleshed
out it can be very different. Between when you first heard about
the game and what you have seen so far, how different is it to what
you originally envisioned?
Bruce Campbell: The good news is that it's better than I
thought. I'm not just laying a line of bull on you because I want
the game to sell well - it's the truth. All of the folks at THQ
have kicked butt putting this thing together (including some pseudo
decent voice work from me... heh-heh...) and it's the next best
thing to another ED flick.
PC Gameworld: You just had an Ash action figure released
and soon there will be another game starring you. When you check
these items out is it a weird feeling interacting with 'a little
you'?
Bruce Campbell: Yes and no. It's hard to take it all in because
the idea of a "figurine" of yourself is a little surreal - it's
more of an incarnation of a character I played than me, so I'm not
really freaked out by it. I think, however, that the McFarlane gang
has done an excellent job with it. It's all in the detail...
