When “Ash vs. Evil Dead” returns to Starz this October, we’ll find Ash in Jacksonville, Florida, where he’s just trying to get away from all the horror of his life. Of course, everything that could go wrong soon does go wrong, and in Season 2 Ash will be forced to return to his hometown of Elk Grove, Michigan.
It’s there that we will meet Ash’s dad, Brock Williams, for the very first time in the franchise’s history, and the character is being played by veteran actor Lee Majors. Courtesy of Entertainment Weekly comes your first look at Mr. Williams today, and he looks to be every bit as badass as his son.
“He’s even grumpier than Ash,” Campbell promises!
