Synopsis
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 Acto r 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., Okay, so at least you're interested enough to pick up this book and look inside.

  • A Behind the Scenes Look at Budget Movies and How Actors and Directors Got Their Starts

    I didn't know who Bruce Campbell was until "Burn Notice." Everyone else seemed to, and he is a decent writer, too. It's a great look behind the production of budget movies and inside Hollywood.

  • Campbell's Killer Chin

    Mr. Campbell is not a great actor but his movies are entertaining and he is a funny and interesting guy. Going to buy his new book. I follow him on twitter and enjoy reading his comments.
