In 1979 with his Detroit friends, Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell raised $350,000 for a low-budget film, The Evil Dead (1981), in which he starred and co-executive produced. Completed piecemeal over four years, the film first gained notoriety in England where it became the best-selling video of 1983, beating out The Shining (1980). After its appearance at Cannes, where Stephen King dubbed it "the most ferociously original horror film of the year", New Line Cinema stepped forward to release "Evil Dead" in the U.S.
After co-producing Crimewave (1985), a cross-genre comedy written by Sam Raimi, Ethan and Joel Coen, Campbell moved to Los Angeles and quickly gained a foothold producing or starring in genre films such as the Maniac Cop (1988) series, Lunatics: A Love Story (1991), Moontrap (1988), and Mindwarp (1991), a post-apocalyptic "Jeremiah Johnson", during which he met his wife-to-be, filmmaker, Ida Gearon.
Campbell then rejoined his Detroit colleagues to star and co-produce the second and third films in the Evil Dead trilogy (Evil Dead II (1987) & Army of Darkness (1992)), completing 12 years of work on the cult favorite.
This rough-and-tumble background was a plus as Campbell made his foray into television, first starring in the highly touted Fox series The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (1993), then as a recurring guest-star on the hit show Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993).
With these under his belt, Campbell easily made the transition to director, helming numerous episodes and recurring as the King of Thieves in the #1 syndicated Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (1995), and its follow-up phenomenon, Xena: Warrior Princess (1995).
Bruce has since expanded his range on television, appearing in anything from Disney's update of The Love Bug (1997), to decidedly dramatic turns on the acclaimed series Homicide: Life on the Street (1993) and The X-Files (1993). At the invitation of ABC, Campbell ventured into the world of sitcoms with a recurring role on ABC's Emmy-nominated Ellen (1994), participating in one of the three touted "out" episodes.
But Campbell didn't abandon his film roots. During that time, he had featured roles in the blockbuster Congo (1995), John Carpenter's Escape from L.A. (1996), and the award-winning independent crime drama, Running Time (1997). He followed these up with roles in Paramount's romantic comedy, Serving Sara (2002), Jim Carrey's The Majestic (2001), and all three of Sam Raimi's blockbuster Spider-Man movies.
After a return to episodic television in the swashbuckling series, Jack of All Trades (2000), Campbell took the title role in MGM's cult sleeper Bubba Ho-Tep (2002). His directorial debut, Man with the Screaming Brain (2005) premiered on the Sci Fi Channel, and Dark Horse Comics published the comic adaptation.
Campbell then directed and starred as himself in My Name Is Bruce (2007), a spoof of his B-movie career, then re-teamed with Disney for their fun-filled hit, Sky High (2005).
Campbell has since made the leap into other forms of entertainment, and is enjoying his role as an author with back-to-back New York Times bestsellers: a memoir entitled "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor", and his first novel, "Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way".
In the multi-media industry, Bruce has enjoyed voicing characters for Disney's animated TV series The Legend of Tarzan (2001) and the Warner Brothers feature The Ant Bully (2006). He also portrayed the character of "Mayor Shelbourne" in the animated hit film, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009). Recently, Campbell voiced the role of "Rod Torque Redline" in Cars 2 (2011), the sequel to the smash Disney animated feature and for the immensely popular game, "Call of Duty".
In 2013, Bruce co-produced the hit remake of Evil Dead (2013), joined his filmmaking pal Sam Raimi on Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and completed an impressive seven-year run on the spy show, Burn Notice (2007) (2007-2013), USA's #1 show on cable.
More than two decades after the release of Army of Darkness (1992), Bruce returned to his most iconic role for Ash vs Evil Dead (2015), a highly-anticipated series premiering on the Starz network on Halloween 2015.- Bruce Craven is a novelist, screenwriter and educator.

His grandparents treated him to his first visit to the cinema for "The Sound of Music" when he was five. At age 15, with several years' worth of allowance money, Sungkar bought his first movie camera - a Bell & Howell Super8 sound model.
Set to The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night," he made his first film, "Hit Boy," in 1975. The 5-minute gore-fest about a pre-teen hit-man featured a drug deal gone bad and a car chase. Sungkar was convinced that Hollywood-style filmmaking was his calling.
Flash-forward four years as he finishes his filmmaking studies at the San Francisco Art Institute and Sungkar has changed his mind. The Art Institute opened his eyes to the existence of film as art, an aspect of filmmaking that he had barely considered growing up in the middle-class suburbs of Philadelphia. Influenced by fellow students such as Stefaan Janssen ("Wind-Up Toy," 1979) and Menno Meyjes (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), screenwriter, and Max (2002), director) Sungkar determined not to follow the usual Hollywood industry path. Instead he enrolled in a liberal arts program at San Francisco State University, where he took a B.A. In History in 1985.
He continued to make short films and television commercials, as well as work as an electronics store clerk, dishwasher, busboy, waiter, cashier, process-server, radio disc-jockey, radio news reporter, and university marketing assistant. In 1985 he founded Ouroboros Communications, a boutique advertising agency in San Francisco.
In 1988 Sungkar met Slamet Rahardjo, an Indonesian graduate student studying in Philadelphia, and through Slamet he met Yasmin Sungkar, another Indonesian student also studying in Philadelphia. Sungkar visited Indonesia in 1988 and was immediately drawn to its people and culture. In 1989 he received a fellowship from Cornell University to study Indonesian linguistics. While Yasmin went on to complete her PhD in Australia during the 1990s, David and Slamet founded CSC Media (Canada) Ltd. to create software and entertainment aimed at the Indonesian market. During this period Sungkar also worked as a columnist, reporter, and ultimately the award-winning chief editor of "Main Line Life," a suburban Philadelphia weekly newspaper.
Casting began for Chasing America (2004) in 2000. Yasmin and David were married in Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia in 2001 after principal photography was complete. "Kejar Amerika" was released in Indonesia and North America in 2004.
In 2010 the Sungkars moved to the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada. - Debbie Y.J. Lin is an actress known for her debut lead role in the feature film, Winter in LA.

His training style combines high-intensity aerobics with resistance training to help clients achieve complete and overall health and wellness. Layn has also trained and competed in various sports with the motto "You learn best by doing." He wanted to understand bodybuilding and nutrition, so he entered the Fitness Texas 2011 tour bodybuilding competition where he placed 3rd. He wanted to learn about endurance next, so he trained and competed in triathlons, including the 2012 Galveston Ironman 70.3 and the Zell am See Ironman 70.3 in Austria. Quote from Layn: "What's fascinating is that if you look at the training model for strength and endurance they're polar opposite. One is based on isolation through creating inefficient movements, and the other is based on compound efficient movements!"
He has immersed himself fully into the fitness industry in hopes of helping his clients to change their habits and lead healthier lives.

Monique Alvarez is an Actress, Writer and Producer based in New York and Los Angeles.
Monique is a Cuban/Colombian-American storyteller. A classically trained actress, writer and filmmaker with roots in theater and improv comedy, she brings a certain kind of spontaneity to her work. A versatile artist in both comedy and drama, she's worked with some of the greats- Christopher Walken, Kevin Bacon, Clark Johnson- throughout her career in film, television and voiceover. In the New York theater scene, Monique developed the spontaneous quality to her work at The Barrow Group theater and performing live. Hailing from the Cuban mecca of Hialeah at the heart of Miami, FL, Monique injects her colorful bicultural and bilingual experience into the stories she conveys, always aiming for authenticity.
Monique's origins as a writer stem from her creative writing and theatre studies at Florida State University, and her mentorship with the late playwright, Mark Medoff. In London, she studied playwriting under Mark Wheatley upon completing classical training at Shakespeare & Co. She attributes her inquisitive approach to her time as a reporter for the local NPR. And it's her beginnings in improv, her time at the Upright Citizens Brigade and iOWest, and television writing studies at The Second City that steered her toward 'comedy with heart'. Monique strives to tell unique stories that give voice to underrepresented people and communities, but that speak to our universal shared experience. The theme of identity and how it plays into relationship dynamics is often at the center.
Monique's recent series of sketch comedy videos for 'My Abuela in Miami' that she also starred in and directed showcase her eccentric Cuban culture in the singular neighborhood of Hialeah, FL. Her sketch videos quickly went viral, making headlines on newspapers in print across Florida and illuminating this outrageous and outstanding community she comes from.
Coming soon, Monique can be seen as Jane Doe in the film 'Percy' starring Christopher Walken, and she can be heard as the voice of Carmen in 'Paw Patrol: The Movie' and Esmeralda in 'Shugirl'.- Writer
