I was really saddened to hear that Bruce Campbell, the amazing actor we all know and love from “The Evil Dead” and so many fan conventions, is stepping back a bit to focus on his health. He’s undergoing treatment for cancer, and while he hasn’t shared specifics, I’m sending him all my best wishes and hoping for a speedy recovery. It’s good he’s prioritizing his well-being, and I’m sure we all understand and support his decision to take things easier for a while.
The 67-year-old announced on social media Monday that they are facing a health challenge – what some might call an ‘opportunity.’ They explained it’s a type of cancer that doctors aim to treat, rather than cure, and apologized if the news came as a surprise, as it was to them as well.
“The good news is, I’m not gonna go into any more detail.”

In her deeply personal memoir, ‘You With the Sad Eyes,’ Christina Applegate bravely shares her experiences with childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and her battle with multiple sclerosis.
He explained his plan for managing treatment, which means taking a break from public appearances, conventions, and work while he focuses on getting better. Campbell expressed regret for having to cancel some convention appearances this summer, but emphasized that prioritizing health and work commitments don’t always align.
He plans to focus on getting healthy this summer so he can promote his upcoming movie, “Ernie & Emma,” in the fall. He wrote, directed, and stars in the film, which tells the story of a man scattering his late wife’s ashes at meaningful places and confronting the memories each location brings up.
Bruce Campbell became a fan favorite early in his career thanks to the 1981 film “The Evil Dead.” He starred as Ashley “Ash” J. Williams, while his friend Sam Raimi directed the movie, launching both of their careers.
Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi, along with Sam’s brother Ivan, continued their collaboration with the TV series “Ash vs. Evil Dead.” The show ran for three seasons on Starz, from 2015 to 2018, following their work on two previous “Evil Dead” films.

On World Cancer Day, Dave Coulier shared encouraging news about his battle with cancer, admitting it’s been a challenging experience with many ups and downs.
Campbell was also known for his role as Sam Axe on the USA Network series “Burn Notice.” Sam Axe is a former Navy SEAL and spy who becomes friends with Michael Westen (played by Jeffrey Donovan), the show’s main character, after Michael is suddenly fired. “Burn Notice” aired from 2007 to 2013.
Currently, both of Sam Raimi’s siblings are involved in Bruce Campbell’s series, “Ernie & Emma”: his daughter, Emma Raimi, plays the character Tatyana, and his brother, Ted Raimi, also appears in the show.
Campbell explained that she wasn’t seeking pity or suggestions, but wanted to share information proactively to prevent the spread of misinformation.
He continued, reassuringly, “Don’t worry, I’m strong and have a lot of backing, so I plan to stick around for a good long time.”
Then he thanked “the greatest fans in the world” and said he hoped to see them soon.
