Bruce Campbell

The first stop in the Hall of Awesome is none other than Bruce Campbell.  One of my favorite actors of all time because of his epic Awesomeness.  In his career he's fought hoards of undead monsters, he's been a steampunk cowboy, a mythic Greek thief, a womanizing retired navy seal, and has even been The King of Rock n' Roll while fighting and ancient Egyptian mummy.  These are just a few of the many great roles Bruce Campbell has played in his long and awesome career.

Bruce Campbell always kills the monsters, beats the bad guys, and of course gets the girl with a dashing, cocky charm that is simply irresistible.  He is the master of the one liner, delivering even the the cheesiest of lines with cool sincerity.  Bruce Campbell is both a tough guy "man's man" and an average Joe wrapped up in one.  He is an idealistic vision of what we would like to be while at the same time reflecting our faults and flaws.  Bruce Campbell truly is a working man's hero.
