Time flies. My first book, \u003ci\u003eIf Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a \"B\" Movie Actor\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis next book, an “Act II” 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf that sounds tame, the journey from \u003ci\u003eEvil Dead\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eSpider-Man\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eBurn Notice\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– Bruce “Don’t Call Me Ash” Campbell\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121923703024,"sku":"9781250125613","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781250125613_p0.jpg?v=1769892266","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250125613","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
