Billy Burke

I love Charlie so much.

Billy Burke is, despite him being kind of a dumb duck.

Oh, a total wooden plank.

When Jacob's like, I'm going to show you what's going on here, he starts undressing.

I really, really love his performance through all of them.

And I really love it in part one and two.

So I just wanted to shout out Billy Burke.

Oh, yes.

I've gotta be honest, I saw that it was $5 million and went, "That seems high." [laughs]

All I can, all I can figure is they must have paid Billy Burke a lot to be in the opening of this movie.

[laughs] 'Cause Billy Burke, uh, as we'll discuss, dies before the movie really starts.

So this, this is directed by David F. Sandberg.

It was written by David F. Sandberg and Eric Heisserer.

It's like they decided to make him a true ride or die, like, halfway through the movie.

Yeah.

And then, uh, the dad who dies in the opening is played by Billy Burke, uh, who is probably the biggest name in this movie.

So Kyle Howard's brother is finally-

Billy Burke-

Yeah, Billy Burke

... from Twilight-

... and other things?

Yes, many other things, but he made me-

And I remember thinking early on, li- and I mean this sincerely, 'cause, like, anytime I see, like, sunglasses, like, inside-

Yeah, that movie was fantastic.

Billy Burke, who plays Charlie Swan.

He's in Red Riding Hood.

Fracture.

Like, if you went to a school one day and everyone was acting like this, you'd be like, what fucking planet am I on? But it is legitimately funny.

Like, I really enjoy how bad some of the acting is.

I think the dad, Billy Burke, as Charlie Swan... is the only person in this movie that seems human and seems genuinely like he's got like a bit of a heart and like a nice guy sort of going.

Ness has a t-shirt with him.

But all this stuff where, like, Edward is playing the piano for her, and she meets his family, and she's, like, going to the, preparing to go to the prom, and, like, the guys in her class are asking her out, but she's only interested in Edward.

And Charlie, played brilliantly by Billy Burke, is, like, about to meet Edward for the first time.

He's, like, preparing his gun.

All that stuff was great.

it's more the first part

i will say though you know what it's for me it's billy burke reacting to him stripping yeah i don't know what the fuck is about to

happen is there a reason for this

son I am an officer of the law.

You're like, well, then what did you solve other than, look, this sort of ties into what happened to Bella, your daughter.

but she's she doesn't turn into a big dog and i like where he goes you don't also turn into a

big dog billy burke also my other i would make the

job actually i'm just saying that if i were charlie i go so what are you like a vampire

Just the thought of all those things converging, I think, if you're a method actor, I think you might find that fascinating.

But he was, you know, if you look at the scene in A Bill of Divorcement in 1932, where he buries his face in Billy Burke's chest, sobbing his guts out, begging her to stay with him, it's not all that different than a similar scene that the iconic Stella scene and where he does is he buries his face, you know, and he begs her to take him back.

Yes.

Stylistically it's different, but no other actor of that time was, was, was bearing his, his soul and sobbing his heart out really.

No book of the season has received such enthusiastic notices as Somerset Maugham's The Moon and Sixpence.

Maugham is well known here and in England as a playwright, for he has furnished light vehicles for John Drew, Billy Burke, Margaret Anglin, and a number of American stars.

As a novelist, his following is not nearly as numerous, although Of Human Bondage was hailed by a small group as a remarkable achievement.

There is the slightest of relationships between Maugham the playwright and Maugham the novelist.
