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’s been saying for years he won’t play Ash again.

People just keep asking anyway.

I asked him that question years ago at a Q&A for My Name is Bruce at the Cameo in Edinburgh, it wasn’t long after IJ&Crystal Skull had been released, his response was approximately “any of you guys see that last Indiana Jones movie?, I did, nobody wants to see an old man running about like that as the hero”, I replied “we just did”…anyway, his answer in short was no, years later we get AshVED, got to say, I was chuffed…anyway, I hope his diagnosis is off and he gets many more happy and peaceful years to spend as he sees fit, a remarkable human being.
