Today is the 53rd birthday of the one and only Bruce Campbell. He long ago secured his place in the Geek Hall of Fame by fighting off the undead with nothing but his wits and a chainsaw arm in Army of Darkness, but he didn’t stop there. Roles as a mischievous thief on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and his current role as a retired Navy SEAL on Burn Notice have garnered him the devotion of geek fans everywhere. And just to make sure he’s secured the love of the next generation of little geeks, he’s the voice of Rod “Torque” Redline in Cars 2 by Disney Pixar.
So, take a moment and raise your glass or chainsaw arm in toast to Bruce Campbell on his special day!
After watching Toy Story, Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3 about a bazillion times with my daughter, my wife asked who the Sarge was (green army men). After going to IMDB.com, I found that R. Lee Ermey (Sarge) played Brisco County in “The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.”. So, I had to get the DVD’s from Netflix and have been enjoying disc 1 on my way to work this week. FYI Bruce Campbell stars in this TV show as Brisco County Jr.
Always remember “Shop smart. Shop S-Mart”.
Happy B-day Bruce. Oh and you kinda rocked it in Bubba Ho-Tep.
I knew something was special about yesterday! My secret crush, since I was 9, had his birthday! : )
