Billy Burke, previously married to Pollyanna Rose, has had quite an illustrious acting career. Best known for his role as Charlie Swan in Twilight, Burke has since captivated audiences with several movies. This article dives into ten of his best movies. Before making his debut on the silver screen, Burke was a vocalist. At 15, he decided to join a band. However, as fate would have it, he slowly developed a likeness for dramatic arts.

It’s hard to think of a musical that would benefit more from a Blu-ray boost than Ken Russell’s kaleidoscopic all dancing, all singing send-up of theatrical clichés on the music hall stage, circa 1925. We’re just happy that the adorable Twiggy got to be put in a film like this, to be enjoyed forever. The Russell crowd is all aboard, led by Glenda Jackson and Murray Melvin. Gosh!

British actor Max Brown is preparing to walk down the aisle after proposing to girlfriend Annabelle Horsey.
The Tudors star, 31, is planning to exchange vows with former model Horsey in a romantic ceremony in their native England.
He tells Britain's The Sunday Telegraph, "We are marrying in Dorset. It's going to be such a beautiful wedding."
And while Horsey insists she is "looking forward to a different name", Brown admits the couple has no plans to hyphenate their family names, quipping, "We can't go double-barreled, or it will be Brown Horsey."
Brown first married actress Pollyanna Rose in December, 2005, but they divorced in 2008.

You guys. You Guyssssss! The Eclipse premiere is officially over, and we’re soothing our broken heart with some In N’ Out as we sit here reflecting on the night that was. Before we recap our 11 Most Epic Moments From The Eclipse Red Carpet, let us set the stage for you. We got to the Nokia Theater at 2Pm, up-do secured on our head with 108 bobby pins, decked out in a wrinkled Old Navy dress and Haviana flip flops. We never did switch into our heels, because it wouldn’t be fair to dwarf Taylor Lautner on his big day (nor would it be fair to our feet).
We hung out at press check in with the lovely gals from Twilightish and Team Twilight until we finally made it to our spot on the red carpet, directly across from a group...

Twilighters know Billy Burke as the loveable-but-somewhat-clueless Charlie Swan, Bella’s dad in the on-screen saga. But the veteran actor has never been busier than he is now – with a half-dozen side projects and films currently in some stage of development – and is excited to be bringing his real-life wife and daughter into the mix.
“I did a film called ‘Luster,’ that was being done by friends of mine, and we threw that one together in 3 to 4 weeks,” he said of the indie thriller. “It’s a psychological thriller.”
“My wife is actually in it too,” he said with pride, mentioning his actress spouse who recently released “Fix” opposite Olivia Wilde. “My wife, Pollyanna Rose is in it as well. She plays a crazy movie starlet.”
But one reason why Twilighters may want to keep an eye peeled for “Luster” is that it not only features Burke and his wife,...

The Halloween fallout continues in today's Daily TwitPic. And wouldn't you know it, today brings a "Twilight"-related Halloween post. It's shocking, I know.
The Daily TwitPic star this morning is Billy Burke, who plays Bella Swan's (Kristen Stewart) dear old dad in the movies. Burke and his wife Pollyanna Rose went out trick or treating dressed as famously dysfunctional couple Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, respectively. I'm guessing that their night ended better than the real-life relationship did. Get a peek at Burke and Rose in their Halloween attire after the jump.
Remember to check out Brian Warmoth's Twitter-Wood column every day for an early jump on your Daily TwitPic.
