Bruce Campbell Trivia Quiz

Answer: Ash Williams

In 1981, this franchise debuted via the film "The Evil Dead." Directed by Bruce Campbell's longtime friend Sam Raimi, it featured a main cast of five, who ventured to a cabin in the woods for some rest and relaxation. They stumbled upon a book known as the "Necronomicon", made the mistake of reading a passage from the book out loud, and summoned demonic entities to the world of the living.

In the end, all but Campbell's character Ash Williams would be killed in the movie.

Answer: "Generations"

This soap opera, produced in 1982 in Detroit, Michigan, saw Bruce Campbell play the role of Alan Stuart. Alan Stuart was a friend of the DeWitt family, the main cast of the show.

In working on "Generations", Bruce Campbell eventually met and married fellow performer Christine Deveau. They worked together in 1982 and married in 1983. Unfortunately, they divorced just six years later in 1989.

Answer: Meet him in person

In 2009, Campbell launched his website, a simple, straightforward forum used to promote himself in various different ways. According to Campbell, this opened up the floodgates for many, many people to mostly electronically reach out and request various things like autographs and personal appearances, but it also caused a litany of people to just mail Campbell things for autographs without being prompted or accepted.

As such, Bruce Campbell took a frigid stance against impromptu requests like this. Bruce Campbell would, as promised on his website, go on to be very, very active in public, attending many conventions and even organizing the Bruce Campbell Horror Film Festival in 2014, to make it easier to actually meet him in person.

Answer: He is an ordained minister

Bruce Campbell grew up in a Christian Science family. He became an ordained minister and has even presided over multiple marriages before. That said, Bruce Campbell has gone on to distance himself from organized, established religion, choosing instead to become a "citizen of the world" in his own words.

Answer: Ida Gearon

Campbell and Gearon met while the two were working on the film "Mindwarp." They married in 1991, two years after Campbell's divorce with Christine Deveau had finalized. Gearon was a costume designer, which explains how the two would have met on the set.

Answer: Kentucky Colonel

The Kentucky Colonel is an award given by the governor of Kentucky to individuals for noteworthy accomplishments, contributions to civil society, remarkable deeds, or outstanding service to the community, state, or nation. Bruce Campbell received this award in 2017, issued by then-Kentucky governor Matt Bevin, in recognition of his contributions to entertainment.

Answer: Best Actor

Concocted by "Fangoria", a horror and thriller fan magazine, this was part of a series known as the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards ceremony. In 1993, Campbell specifically won the Fangoria Chainsaw Award for Best Actor. He would win the exact same award eleven years later in 2004, he would win a television specific version of the award in 2016, then the same award again one year later.

Answer: 1997

In 1997, Bruce Campbell was a voice actor in "Broken Helix", a third person shooter game featuring 4D mechanics and complex handling of plot lines that was well ahead of its time. Campbell assumed the role of explosives expert Jake Burton.

Humorously, "Broken Helix" is based in the year 2026 which, at the time, was the future. I bet that makes Bruce Campbell feel old to look back on!

Answer: "Advanced Warfare"

In "Advanced Warfare", Bruce Campbell lent his voice to the character Lennox in the Exo-Zombies DLC map "Carrier." Funnily enough, Lennox ended up murdering Oz in this mode, and, as Oz was a fan favorite at the time, this got Campbell's character off to an interesting start.

This map was based in an underwater Atlas facility, where the goal was either to survive as long as humanly possible against endless hordes of undead, or find and kill a boss enemy which can be encountered after completing a complex quest line.

Answer: Four

There are four different Ash Williams characters from four different time eras in this game, and Bruce Campbell voices them all. There's the Ash from the very first "Evil Dead" movie, an Ash from the second "Evil Dead" movie, an Ash from the movie "Army of Darkness", and then finally, Ash from "Ash vs Evil Dead", affectionately referred to as "TV Show Ash" by the game's player base.

Despite being the same man, the drastically different contexts the Ashes are all in did force Campbell to alter his inflection based on the one he was voicing. Regardless, Campbell did a standout job with all four Ash Williams.
