Hail to the Chin: Further Confessions of a B Movie Actor

The raucous and sardonic New York Times–bestselling memoir from the fan favorite actor—updated with even more confessions. It's been fifteen years since his first memoir If Chins Could Kill but Bruce Campbell is still living the dream as a "B" movie king in an "A" movie world. His roles have been as varied as they are numerous—from the Spider-Man movies to his self-referential My Name is Bruce to the #1 USA Network show Burn Notice and his STARZ hit series Ash vs Evil Dead. Bruce covers the professional and the personal with stories about his quickly canceled series Jack of All Trades, working on Syfy Channel movies in Bulgaria and playing Santa Claus and Ronald Reagan as well as his move from Los Angeles to Oregon where he distills lavender and joins the local Elks club. And now in this updated Requiem for Ash edition, Bruce shares brand new stories from his life since the original hardcover publication, including details from his European book tour. Featuring color photographs, Hail to the Chin retains the signature humor that Bruce brought to If Chins Could Kill and will be devoured by his legions of fans across the country. With an introduction by New York Times–bestselling author and famous minor television personality John Hodgman. "Campbell sheds further light on the (decidedly unglamorous) existence of a B-list actor, and fans of his work will undoubtedly be excited to read more from the enigmatic movie star. . . . Chock-full of amusing anecdotes about the underappreciated B-list movie industry." ―Library Journal
