    Not in Evil Dead he wasn't, but Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness he was seriously "comic"... Exhibit A: The three stooges scene with all the mini-Ash's in the windmill.

    Colm Meany does a lot more serious stuff than the shtick Bruce Campbell does. Sure Colm Meany's playing a re-occuring character in Stargate now.

    Bruce Campbell is kinda type-cast as a real B-List celebrity, but he appeals to his fans and not too many other people.

    I read his book "If Chins Could Kill" and can't wait for "Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way" and his solo commentary on Evil Dead is brilliant.

    Colm Meany has a much wider range of characters than Bruce Campbell and I'd be hard pressed to come up with a comparison between the two tbh..

    But hey that's just my opinion...:)
