In 1990, while filming Mindwarp (1992), he met his future second wife (costume designer Ida Gearon) on the set. They raised 10 times as much cash for the sequel Evil Dead II (1987) again co-produced by Bruce and starring him as "Ash". Around this time, he married his first wife, and they had 2 kids.
Four years later, the completed film became the best-selling video of 1983 in England, and New Line Cinema got it a US release. Armed with a super-8 horror film Within the Woods (1978) which then showed potential investors, they raised $350,000 to make The Evil Dead (1981) which Bruce co-produced and starred in as "Ash".
WHERE WAS BURN NOTICE FILMED PRO
Raimi, he decided to become a pro filmmaker. In the early part of 1979, with buddy Sam Bruce became a production assistant for a company that made commercials in Detroit. He attended Western Michigan University and took theater courses. No money, but it was a learning experience (it was show biz). Bruce worked 18-hour days putting up sets, being assistant stage manager, doing errands, etc. During the summer of 1976, he was an apprentice in northern Michigan at Traverse City's Cherry County Playhouse, a summer-stock company. Soon, along with Sam, and now a bunch of other high school pals, Bruce filmed about 50 super-8 movies. Perhaps through fate, he met future director Sam Raimi in a high school drama class in 1975. However, he was also interested in directing, and shot super-8 flicks with a neighborhood pal. He went on to appear in several community theater productions, including "South Pacific". At 14, Bruce got to play the young prince in "The King and I" and even got to sing. He got the acting bug at age 8 his dad was performing in local community theater. As a child, Bruce watched "Lost in Space" (1965) on TV, and ran around dressed as Zorro. Born J(the youngest of 3 brothers) in Royal Oak, Michigan.
