Hail to the Chin by Bruce Campbell

Hail to the Chin by Bruce Campbell

New York Times bestseller

Introduction by New York Times bestselling author and famous minor television personality John Hodgman

One of my dad's favorite jokes about getting older was: I went out for coffee when I was twenty-one and when I got back I was fifty-eight

I get what he meant now. Time flies. My first book, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor, was published back in 2001 and it chronicles the adventures of a mid-grade, kind of hammy actor (my words), cutting his teeth on exploitation movies far removed from mainstream Hollywood.

This next book, an Act I if you will, could be considered my maturing years in show business, when I began to say no more often and gravitated toward self-generated material. Taking stock in the overall quality of my life, I fled Los Angeles and moved to a remote part of Oregon to renew, regroup and reload.

If that sounds tame, the journey from Evil Dead to Spider-Man to Burn Notice was long, with plenty of adventures/mishaps along the way. I never pictured myself hovering above Baghdad in a Blackhawk helicopter, facing a pack of wild dogs in Bulgaria, or playing an aging Elvis Presley with cancer on his penis - how can you predict this stuff? The sheer lunacy of show business is part of the fun for me and I hope you'll come along for the ride.
