Anyone who's watched the facial expressions and subtle tone shifts offered by Billy Burke in any of his films, but especially the Twilight series as the lovable Charlie Swan, knows that the guy is just extraordinary.
So, to hear that he's making a very serious step into the world of music is surprising . . . and quite exciting!
Yesterday, Burke announced on his Twitter page that he is planning to release an album sometime this summer, and if he can get somewhere in the range of a million followers on his page, he'd be willing to give away "a few hundred thousand singles" and "shak[e] up the labels and suits."
Burke, who's been in the film industry for around twenty years, assured his fans that this was not going to be the typical actor-turned-mediocre-musician situation.
Said he, "I promise it won't be what's expected. I realize the bad taste it can leave in your mouth when an actor decides to take a musical ego trip.."
Burke is in the process, it seems, of preparing a website for interested fans to sign up at and keep tabs on details regarding his summer record release.
More details will be posted here as they come in.

I know all the teeny boppers LOVE Robert and Taylor, they are hot! But, I would like to see and would buy posters of Billy Burke, he is so cute!!! And, more my age. Just a thought. :-)
I love Billy Burke. In the Twilight movies, he easily and quietly steals every scene he's in. I'm a fan. Plus, I can crush on him a bit and not have to feel dirty because he's closer to my age. ;-)
He's a GREAT actor, and is quietly handsome. Love him!
