There is always a particular voice actor that makes a video game a must buy for me...
Bruce Campbell.
You are guaranteed some silliness with this guy.
Like the time he goes and makes a sandwich in the Spiderman game or the funny little quips in 3D Pitfall.
Of course, he hams it up playing Ash in the Evil Dead games.
He even plays a world weary pilot in Tachyon: The Fringe.
He may have done more games. Post your clips.

 

[jaysius]

He was great in the corny show Burn Notice.

He‘s a little bit overrated though overall.

Here is a collection of clips from Spiderman 2.

He did do Ripley's Believe it or Not!
I guess it did not last.

[El Muerto]

I love everything that he is in. The man is a god damn national treasure! Brisco County Jr is my favorite show of his besides Evil Dead.

 

[Starbuck2907]

Don’t forget he was the king of thieves in Hercules the Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess.

Did he? I'm sure it was Craig Charles.
Or am I wrong?

Wasn't there a FMV game called Cong that stared Bruce Campbell?

Such a good show dude. Every character is funny too.

 

[DaedalusGrim]

Big fan of Bruce, I have a collection of Ash action figures lmao.

 

[Tiamat2san]

Bruce Campbell should be in EVERY video game. PERIOD
In every piece of Media.
He should replace amber heard in aquaman 2.

Give us some sugar Baby.

 

[Fuz]

No.

 

[Doom85]

He should replace amber heard in aquaman 2.

James Wan: Mr. Campbell, it’s an honor to have you on board.
Bruce Campbell: Hey, no problem. I’ve done a few cameos in Raimi’s comic films, but I was overjoyed to hear you want me in a major role for Aquaman 2.
James Wan: Glad to hear it. So here’s your costume. I’ll give you some privacy to get changed and you can just meet us on set.
Bruce Campbell: Whoa, what is this outfit?! Why is there so much cleavage?!
James Wan: That’s what Mera wears. You know, Aquman’s girlfriend.
Bruce Campbell: I thought I’d be playing Aqualad…..okay, maybe given my age I should have known that wasn’t happening.
Jason Momoa: Oh hey, Bruce! You ready to shoot the make out scene?
Bruce Campbell:

 

[Krathoon]

There is a photo with Bruce and Nathan Fillion that is hilarious.
Somebody find it.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Just bought Jack of all trades too, never heard of that one.

I got that too and Cleopatra 2525. Still have not watched them.
They used to show them together in a double feature.

Hoooly crap! That looks like some pure mystery science theatre shlock! I need this too

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. They are both really silly shows. Total camp.

 

[Krathoon]

 

[Varteras]

To me, Bruce Campbell is the male Elvira. They're pretty much only really known for a couple things (wink) but yet for some reason I want them to be in everything. Including my bed.

 

[Krathoon]

For a while there there were silly shows like Hercules, Xena, Cleopatra 2525, and Jack of All Trades and then they stopped.

 

[MonkeyChime]

Years ago he did a speaking engagement at a book signing that was Cspan i think. He's charming as hell and its a good watch

 

[MonkeyChime]

 

[YCoCg]

If only they did an Uncharted movie in the 2000's, the perfect Nate and Sully.

 

[Krathoon]

Here is the Ripley's show he did. Lasted one season.

[Krathoon]

Bruce tends to have bad luck in his career, but has memorable bits in movies. He keeps on truckin'.

 

[Krathoon]

Bubba Ho-Tep is a classic.
Brisco County Jr. should have lasted longer.
Did they resolve the orb storyline? I think they did.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I met Bruce Campbell. He was pretty funny and chill.

 

[lifa-cobex]

I never understood why he didn't become a bigger actor.
Huge in B-list movies. Probably the most well known.

He's got the looks and he's a great actor.

[mansoor1980]

i guess i am the only one who played this on ps1 , ahead of its time

 

[Rest]

I love Jack of All Trades. Bruce Campbell playing Bruce Campbell, and Verne Troyer as Napoleon!

I never heard of that one. Still cheap on eBay. Just bought it.

its janky but very open ended and hilarious

 

[Krathoon]

Seems interesting.

 

[mansoor1980]

Seems interesting.

ability to switch between 1st and 3rd person view , man konami were at their peak in the ps1 days .

 

[Krathoon]

That was probably the first video game he ever did.

 

[Radical_3d]

If only they did an Uncharted movie in the 2000's, the perfect Nate and Sully.

He's still the perfect Sully today, tho.

 

[Krathoon]

He's still the perfect Sully today, tho.

Yeah. They kind of already did that old guy/young guy dynamic in Burn Notice.

I will have to collect Burn Notice at some point. I think it is supposed to be the high end of Campbell's work.

 

[Krathoon]

Geeze. There is like seven seasons of Burn Notice.

 

[Radical_3d]

Geeze. There is like seven seasons of Burn Notice.

Ok, time to catch up. I’ll check if it’s streaming in my country.

 

[Doom85]

Geeze. There is like seven seasons of Burn Notice.

Yeah, it is one of those that is in my massive watch list. I did see the first five episodes years ago, and it was pretty solid.

 

[Krathoon]

Might as well get it on streaming since there are a lot of seasons.
It is on Hulu.

It looks like there is also a movie or something that focuses on Bruce's character.

 

[jaysius]

Geeze. There is like seven seasons of Burn Notice.

It's not great, but kind of fun, the later seasons became less fun and more serious as the show became more popular, it shouldn't be high on any watchlist. I was never super eager to see the next episode when it was on weekly, but when it came it was something to watch. Lots of corny bad moments, then they tried to put serious moments in a show that wasn't ready for said moment it made the show feel really off and not great at times.
