Nice little video of an EW interview with Bruce Campbell.
Aside from his body of work, one thing that really comes through here is the realization that while nearly all actors are idiots, and worse, pompous idiots, Campbell actually seems as smart and laid back and funny and just sheerly likable as you’d hope he is. I can’t think of any actor I’d more like to hang out with for a night, or be able to just gab with for a few hours.
Campbell’s TV show Burn Notice, as previously noted, kicks off its second season on USA tomorrow.
Meanwhile, if you’ve never seen The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., beg, borrow or steal yourself the DVD collection. It was a marvelous program. (It would also make a good double bill with Richard Dean Anderson’s Legend, which costarred Q.) Of the various, generally very good TV shows Campbell has been involved with, this is probably the best, and certainly the most Bruceriffic. Sadly, the collection costs an arm and a leg, but occasionally Amazon or somebody puts it on a good sale, which is when I got my set. Or put that on your list for the next time Deepdiscountdvd has one of their 20% off sales. And there’s always Netflix or your local library, who can probably interlibrary loan it for you.
