'An insightful and rant-filled guide to being almost famous' GQ 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. Bookshops 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 is my story and I invite you to ride with me through the choppy waters of blue collar Hollywood. So buy the damned book already and read like the wind! Best Bruce 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. Bruce Campbell is the ultimate 'B' movie actor. Star of the cult Evil Dead series with a CV that spans school buddy Sam Raimi's Spider-Man through The X-Files Xena: Warrior Princess to Man With The Screaming Brain you've probably never heard of him. But it's a heck of a story nonetheless! ;

Most Hollywood biographies are little more than 500-page musings on the ‘ when-I-met… ’ theme, filled with famous names, love affairs and cliché s of a ‘ meteoric rise’ or ‘ tragic fall’ . Bruce Campbell’ s If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor is the boisterous antidote to such convention. Campbell is the ultimate ‘ B’ Movie actor. Star of the cult Evil Dead trilogy, with a CV that ranges from buddy Sam Raimi’ s Spider-Man, through The X-Files and Xena: Warrior Princess, to the less-than-glamorous Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, you’ ve probably never heard of him. But his is one heck of a story!The popularity of Bruce, the cult hero of cable TV and Hollywood’ s second rung, is burning brighter than ever, his legion of fans undiminished after over thirty years. Insightful, encouraging and brilliantly funny, If Chins Could Kill! is a brilliant place to start for those unfamiliar with his work. For everyone else, it acts as a wonderful reminder for just why they fell in love with him in the first place.
