A standing room only crowd watched longtime NBC4 movie critic talk about his new memoir The Accidental Critic at Politics and Prose in Washington D.C. Sunday afternoon.
Campbell, interviewed by his former on-air colleague Doreen Gentzler, talked about his career, how he stumbled into being a movie/entertainment critic (thus the title of his book) and how painful leaving NBC4 was to the point where he took circuitous routes to places to avoid driving by his old station.
Campbell, 78, was born in San Antonio, moved to DC in 1974 working at NBC4 for 32 years then 8 years at ABC7 and NewsChannel8.
Asked by MCM what was the most memorable interview of his career, he quickly said John Travolta and told an entertaining story about what happened.
