Ash Actor: Bruce Campbell |
Who is this man called Ash? The recipe for Ashley Williams is quite simple: take your utterly, utterly average Joe - nice blue shirt, brown pants, strongly cut jaw, all-American good looks. Then tear up the shirt, dump ten gallons of blood on him, chop off his right hand and replace it with a chainsaw. Sprinkle on the ability to kick ass when necessary. Now you've got Ash!
Ash is the only person to make it through "The Evil Dead," "Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn" and "Army of Darkness." A clutz who gets mixed up in the resurrection of demons, Ash is forced to kill all his best friends, his girlfriend (three times!), cuts off his own hand, and gets turned into a Deadite himself more than once. Through it all, he remains a lovable idiot and "loud-mouthed braggart."
Actor Bruce Campbell also portrays Ash's Deadite counterparts, including "Possessed Ash" from EDII and, more importantly, "Evil Ash" from AOD. "Evil Ash" is spawned when an evil spirit creates a hideously deformed clone of our hero. As shown in AOD, Evil Ash and his Army of the Dead attempt to capture Castle Candar and destroy Ash, King Arthur and their people.
