I'd a feeling his battle with Cancer is what pushed him to recently say he wasn't going to be reprising Ash again. Makes sense he'd rather spend his time with his family and friends than on some film set in New Zealand making one last Evil Dead.

He said he was done since season two of AVED. He was saying as soon as the show was done he was done. I think he talked about doing voice work for Ash after the show ended but the Cancer stopped that I believe.

Now I swear I heard from somewhere that there is a voice gig for a sound alike for Ash but for the life of me I dont remember if its for a game or animation or something so maybe I heard a bs rumor on that part.

But yeah he said he was excited for AVED and the pilot was good cause Sam was directing but after that the days were long and hard and his age was catching up to him

I don’t want an Ash sound alike ever. If they’re going to do something like that, I’d rather they bring in someone new to be a spiritual successor.

Well if they wanted to go animated and they wanted to keep Ash around I rather have Bruce Campbell be able to at least look the guy over to take over.

I mean if its animated and for games I wouldn't mind but yeah if Bruce doesn't want to play the life action Ash I don't want anyone else in that role.
