Billy Burke Has Recurring Role on Rizzoli and Isles

Sounds like Billy Burke will have a recurring role on TNT’s new show Rizzoli & Isles!

According to EW:

“He made a quick — and sexy! — appearance in the series premiere of TNT’s new Rizzoli & Isles. Now Billy Burke (who, of course, plays Bella’s dad in the Twilight films) is back for more crime-fighting fun with series star Angie Harmon, and from the look of things, the sparks are definitely flying between Harmon’s hard-striving Det. Jane Rizzoli and Burke’s broody F.B.I. agent Gabriel Dean in the episode airing Aug. 30. But count on Rizzoli’s serial-killing nemesis, Hoyt, to ruin the mood.”

Billy Burke Wants Your Questions!

This just in from Billy Burke’s website!

With the release of both my debut album and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse falling within nearly a week of one another, I’ve been (needless to say) spread a little thin these days. With so much stuff going on, I feel like I haven’t been as accessible to you the subscribers as I’d like to be. One of the things that’s been so rewarding about the way we’ve decided to release this album is that with all the amazing comments, emails, tweets, and other interactive elements we’ve been employing, it’s created an atmosphere that’s a lot more intimate than these things normally are… and I like it.

In that spirit, I wanna take some time to talk about the things YOU ALL might wanna talk about. Instead of listening to some silly lame ass ask me if I’m team Edward or team Jacob, I think it might be fun to open the floor to some questions from the people that really matter.

Here’s how it’s gonna work:
You have a question? Post it in the comment field below. We’ll select 20 of them (or more depending on time constraints), I’ll video record the answers and whatever else the questions might evoke, then we’ll shoot you a link via email that hooks you up to where you can find the results.

If you wanna help spread the word please retweet, comment, or post a link to this site on Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere else you choose.

Billy Burke: Official “Removed” Music Video

Billy Burke has been working on his debut album and has finished shooting an impromptu video for “Removed”

“I’ll start this post by saying this… we here at the bb site have been nothing short of BLOWN AWAY by the overwhelming and sincerely adulatory response we’ve received since launching this project. I personally, want to thank each and every one of you who have put forth SO MANY kind thoughts, compliments and good wishes. From conception to fruition and everywhere after, this is now, and will continue to be a collaborative and interactive effort. I’m gonna do my absolute best to keep you current with everything we’re doing and everything that transpires along this dusty ass little road you’re walking with me.

In that spirit, we managed to throw together a little something while on location in Shreveport, Louisiana. Some of you might know that for the past couple months I was there filming a pretty groovy and I think, pretty bad ass (somewhat adult) 3D action road picture (directed by Patrick Lussier) with Nicolas Cage called “DRIVE ANGRY”. On one of the few days that I had free, I had the good fortune of being visited by my close friend and up and coming filmmaker Devon Gummersall. He and I both thought it might be a sweet opportunity to shoot some unplanned, guerilla style footage for an impromptu video for “REMOVED”. My super-cool wife and best pal Pollyanna Rose agreed to play with us and thus, we set forth on a one day into night excursion to see what we could come up with. As you’ll see we started out on the deserted streets of Shreveport and ended up literally, in the closet of the house we were renting.”

Billy Burke Signs on to ‘Drive Angry’

Empire is reporting that Billy Burke has signed onto a new film entitled Drive Angry, which will star Nicholas Cage. 

Well, actually, the Twilight-loving hordes might not be too bothered about this one, as Burke merely plays Bella Swan’s dad, Charlie, and therefore isn’t abs-tastic or pecced up to the max, but it’s still an indicator that a role in the vampire franchise can give even its supporting actors something of a career boost.

Burke will play a charismatic, and possibly villainous, cult leader in the Patrick Lussier-directed film, in which Cage will play a vengeful father chasing his daughter’s killer – and his grandchild’s kidnapper – through the desert in a car chase that, essentially, will be movie long.

William Fichtner and Amber Heard are also on board the movie, which starts filming next month in Shreveport.

Billy Burke to Star in New TV Series ‘Rizzoli & Isles’

Billy Burke is set to star in a new TV series called Rizzoli & Isles.  According to Amanda Bell, the Twilight Examiner, here are the details:

The show will be entitled Rizzoli & Isles, and it will also star Angie Harmon, Sasha Alexander, The Sopranos alum Lorraine Bracco, Lee Thompson Young, and others.

Burke will portray “FBI agent Gabriel Dean” in the series, and the series will follow the stories put forth by Tess Gerritsen’s line of mystery novels – a detective and a medical examiner, who work together to solve crimes.

This year, two of Burke’s films, Shadow Play and Highland Park, will also make their way to theaters.
