I Didn't Recognize Him...(Bruce Campbell)

[Ash]

AndyC's thread got me thinking.  

He stated:  "You watch a movie you haven't seen in 15 or 20 years, and notice some well-known actors you didn't see before. Why? because they weren't well known the last time you saw the movie."

Well I was thinking about movies that we've seen recently and are fairly new and there's an actor in it that I absolutely did not recognize.

I'm referring to Bruce Campbell.

In the opening scenes of "The Majestic" Campbell plays the hero in "Sand Pirates of the Sahara" (I think that was the title).  I've seen The Majestic three times now and only upon this last viewing did I realize that was Bruce playing the hero.

Another is Spiderman.
I've seen this movie at least six times and absoultely did not recognize Bruce as the ring announcer for the wrestling match until my most recent viewing about a week ago.  
Everytime I watched it he just looked and sounded like some other dude!
I actually had to check the IMDB to confirm that it was him.

I'm very familiar with 99% of his work (I own the Evil Dead trilogy...seen em all a zillion times) and you'd think that I would've recognized him in Spiderman but I really didn't.

In both films I've referred to...Bruce did not look or sound like himself.

Maybe they're just good at disguising him...I don't know.

What actors can you think of that fit this and in what films?

Did you recognize him in Escape from LA? Quite a makeup job in that one.

Ol' Bruce is also in DARKMAN. He's the disguise that the main character (whose name escapes me at the moment) dons at the very end to get away from his ex-fiancée.
