I don't watch the Evil Dead movies. I did quite like the old TV show
"The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.", even though it was a bit silly
(a one-season show that he has said he wants to revive).


'Evil Dead' Actor Bruce Campbell Says He Has Cancer
That's 'Treatable' but Not 'Curable':
But 'I'm a Tough Old Son of a Bitch'
---------------------------------------------------
"Evil Dead" star Bruce Campbell revealed Monday that he has been
diagnosed with cancer, but he says that it is "treatable," if
not curable. Campbell said work will have to take a back seat
while he's being treated.

The 67-year-old actor posted a message to his fans on X, writing,
"Hi folks, these days, when someone is having a health issue,
it's referred to as an 'opportunity,' so let's go with that - I'm
having one of those. It's also called a type of cancer that's
'treatable' not 'curable.' I apologize if that's a shock - it was
to me too.

"The good news is, I'm not gonna go into any more detail. I'm
posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to
change - appearances and cons and work in general need to take
back seat to treatment. My plan is to get as well as I possibly
can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie 'Ernie &
Emma' this fall.

"There are several cons this year summer that I have to cancel.
Big regrets on my part. Treatment needs and professional
obligations don't always go hand-in-hand. That's about it. I'm not
trying enlist sympathy - or advice - I just want to get ahead of
this information in case false information gets out (which it
will). Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-bitch and I have great
support, so I expect to be around a while. As always, you're the
greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon!," Campbell
wrote, signing off with "Much love."

Campbell stars in and directs "Ernie & Emma," a road-trip comedy
about a widowed pear salesman's journey to scatter his wife's
ashes. An early screening in Portland, Ore. is already sold out.

He first played Ash Williams in Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead" in 1981,
then returned for "Evil Dead II." Campbell serves as executive
producer on the upcoming "Evil Dead Burn," due in theaters in June.
