Billy Burke on Robert Pattinson

He may play the disapproving dad in the movies but Billy Burke has nothing but kind words for Robert Pattinson.

RadarOnline.com: There is so much written about Robert Pattinson, what can you tell us about him?
Burke: Rob Pattinson is a nut! He’s a funny, goofy guy. They want him to be like this James Dean type but he doesn’t take that seriously. I respect what he’s doing.

He also talked about Kristen Stewart and whether he has been approached for Breaking Dawn.

RadarOnline.com: Since you play Kristen Stewart’s Dad in the movie – have you developed a father figure type of relationship with her?
Burke: Kristen is a wise person and an old soul. We get along more like peers than wiser, older guy and young girl. She’s doing fine taking care of herself.

RadarOnline.com: Will we see you in the fourth Twilight film?
Burke: “They haven’t approached everyone yet for the next movie but I do know that my character is in that book and if they’ll keep having me, I’ll keep coming back.”

A Billy Burke Interview

The Examiner was able to interview Billy Burke who plays Chief Swan in the Twilight movies. In this interview, he talked about being part of the saga, about the film, working with the young cast and the difference between Twilight and New Moon.

Have you seen the rough cut of New Moon?

Billy: I have, as a matter of fact. It’s a beautiful film; it looks a painting. I think it’s a step up from the first film, although the first film created the world. New Moon stays within that world. I think Chris Weitz has done a really, really fine job. He’s actually one of my favorite directors that I’ve worked with in the past, say 10 years. A good director hires the right cast, and mostly leaves them alone to let them do what they do. In his position, he didn’t really have a choice of the cast since the cast was already there, but he had such a fine respect for not only the movie itself, and the world, but the actors and their knowledge of their roles. He really handled it well, and he’s just a really classy guy.

What were some of your favorite memories from the set?

Billy: I kind of swim in and out. Most of the cast is up there 24/7. I get lucky, I get to be there 2 weeks to work and then go away. I’m not really around for any of the hijinx, if there is any at all. I don’t really have any stories of mayhem. I can tell you that when I am up there and we do have free time, the cast does spend time together and we go have dinners and have some drinks and stuff. We all get along pretty well. There’s not really anyone objectionable in the bunch.

While addressing the Kristen and Rob romance rumors in the past, you actually came clean about your affair with Rob.

Billy: I was just really surprised that no one picked up on that. Yeah. I feel sorry for the rest of the cast. Because they can’t walk by us without us pretending we’re not holding hands or staring deeply into each others hair. It’s rough; it’s a tough thing to hide. It seems that none of the tabloids have picked up on it yet, so I guess we’re doing a good job.

Are there any similarities between you and Charlie in New Moon?

Billy: Not one. I do tend to play a lot of cops, so I’m familiar with that sort of authoritative mentality. And I am a new father, I’ve got a 15-month old daughter, which is sort of a parallel. But I didn’t have that daughter until after we filmed Twilight, so about fatherhood, I was completely guessing. Charlie likes to hunt and fish and watch a lot of sports and I do none of those things. I am a total theater, rock and roll geek.
