Billy Burke as Charlie Swan

Date of Birth: November 25, 1966

Billy Burke was born and raised in Bellingham, Washington and developed a love of performing at an early age. He began singing at age nine and joined a band at age fifteen. He continued playing with bands for years and enrolled in the drama program at the Western Washington University. He performed in Seattle at the Annex Theater, the AHA! Theatre, and in New City Festival.

Burke appeared briefly in popular television series such as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Party of Five and Gilmore Girls, and in the films Without Limits (1998) and Along Came A Spider (2001) before landing the role of Gary Matheson in 24. This role gained him recognition, and he went on to land the role of a firefighter in Ladder 49 (2004), a detective in the drama Fracture (2007) starring Anthony Hopkins, and the role of Bella's father in Twilight (2008). In addition to The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009), he will appear in Ticket Out (2009) and the musical Baby O (2009).

Burke has a daughter who was born during the filming of Twilight (2008) and he hopes he will be closer with her than his character, Charlie, is with his daughter Bella. Burke thinks the characters had quite a bit of distance between them, and hopes he will remain close with his daughter throughout their relationship.

E tare omul , adica e tatal cu " capu` in nori " adica , cred si eu dupa ce a facut atatea Bella )

da.. e cam prea.. "cu capul in nori.." )

Avand in vedere ca nu petrecuse mult timp cu Bella ii era si lui ciudat . Nu stiu cum se descurca fara sa manance dar se ducea acolo unde se ducea el mereu sa manance .
