If Chins could Kill: Confessions of a B Moive Actor

     http://www.deadites.net/books/chins_couldkill.jpg     If Chins could Kill: Confessions of a B Moive Actor By Bruce Campbell if an AMAZING book. Its an autobiography, and we all know how boring those can be. But this one is about Bruce's life as an actor that's in tons of movies, like the gym teacher in Sky High, the American spy in Cars 2, the mayor in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and the star, Ash, in the classic old horror film, The Evil Dead. Turns out he's one of those guys that's isn't as famous as people like Judy Garland or Charlton Heston, but tons of people still know, and love, him and his acting.
     This book is about his life and the tough world of acting. He goes through him and his friends filming the The Evil Dead deep in the woods of Tennessee, facing the challenges of staring in a movie that involves tons of fake blood, and trying to make it into Hollywood.
     When this book was written, it was before Campbell was in Sky High, Cars 2, Ant Bully, and some other low key films. Bruce Campbell is currently co-staring on the USA show, Burn Notice. His book, If Chins could Kill, was a New York Times bestseller, and he has another book out, called Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way.

      LOVED it. It's the kind of book you never want to end.

  1. Sounds interesting! I don't usually read autobiographies, so I think I'll try it.
