Wow Billy! Who knew you could sing like that! Kudos to you. Love the song. Have a great summer!
I love, love, love this video!!!!
Love the video…especially the cheeky grin at the end!! xx
Thanks for sharing the video! I really like it! I think it says a lot about the song.
Hi Billy!
I just finished watching the video and thought it was awsome! I’m from Los Angeles, both born and raised. I think your character, Charlie, reminds me so much of my late father. Are you at all like Charlie in real life? Also your upcoming film, not Eclipse, seems a complete 180 for you because the role is so instense. I’m not much for thrillers, but I think I’ll check this one out when it’s released in theatres.
Hi Billy, I’m from a small place called South Plaquemines Parish, maybe you heard of it in the news (OIL SPILL) since you have been filming here in Louisiana. It was a delight to get an email saying that the video is in full swing…and it is incredible. So glad that you shot it here. I am so sick and tired of hearing about the spill (i know it’s tragic)but still, now i can home log on to your site grab a glass of wine and listen to a great song. I really cannot wait for the album. Oh, FYI I got your tweet about you kickin it in the BIG EASY, do we know how to party are what?
I love this song, and I couldn’t wait to see if there was a video. You truly are a very talented man. I love the s**t eating grin at the end. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. You deserve all the good things in life. Embrace it.
A devoted fan,
Bell
When I saw “Billy Burke Music Video – Removed” I thought, why? Was it too risque? Then I remembered that’s the name of it. Just kidding. The track gets more and more addictive with time. Well done. Stop smoking.
Great video Billy!! congrats!
Love the music video. The GMTV interview reenactment of Catherine’s reaction to the moustache was spot on hilarious. Keep the music videos coming– glad to hear you are a big Tom Waits fan!
Loved the song, Loved the video!! Great Job!!
“Congrats”, “Amazing”, “Fantastic” all that stuff from the rainy NW, so I’ll say “good things come to good people”.It’s been fun watching/listening to your career.AND your wife is beautiful.Continued success,
Anna
that was AWESOME Billy..can’t wait for the album to come out
Wow!!! The video was amazing! I STILL play “Removed” quite a bit on all my playlists! I’m so waiting for the album! Your talent never ceases to amaze me! You are wonderful!
Cool song – great video. The more I listen to the song, the more I like it. It’s making me homesick though, I’m going to have to talk my husband into a trip to Louisiana soon! I’m looking forward to the rest of the album.
WOW! thats an amazing video. and an awesome song. i hope there are plenty more to come.
is simply a beautiful song … I look forward to the album.
Are you an incredible talent. Congratulations and I wish you to be extremely happy
kisses from Chile
simplemente es una hermosa canción… espero ansiosa el álbum.
es usted un talento increíble. Felicidades y deseo usted sea inmensamente feliz
besos desde Chile…
Love the music video! Can’t wait to see you in Eclipse. Hope there is more of you “Charlie” in it then in last two.
Hey Billy,
I enjoyed your video! Your wife is lovely:) Have a great day!
Mellow, contemplative, and just a little bit gritty. Superb. Can’t wait for the whole album.
LOVE the video! Is that your wife? It kinda looks like her from what i remember of your interview at the New Moon premiere. I was hoping to see a bit of the “real” you in the video because it was so glum, but then at the very end you smiled-there you were! Thanks! can’t wait until we are able to download it, much luck & love to you on your success Billy!
Just wanted to say Congrats on the video…both the song and the video are great! I can’t wait for the whole album! Best of Luck in all of your future endeavors both on screen and in the studio
The Removed video is great! Love love love the vibe.
Wow Billy!!!
Il video è bellissimo e la tua voce molto dolce!!
Spero di sentire al più presto un tuo album.
Sei grande!!
Con amore,Sara
Great video! I already love the song and the video compliments it so well. Thanks for being you!
The “Removed” video captures the steep emotion of the song wonderfully. So touching, especially knowing that is your lovely partner in it. Congrats.
Love the video. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Billy,
so, in the video, when you say that you remain removed, are you meaning that in a commitment sort (as far as the lyrics go, we all know you are happily married LOL )… I just wanted to understand more of what you meant with the lyrics.
Love the video! shows the sexy side of you!!! helllooooooo
Heather Smith
Crestview, Fl
lovin the new video!!! its awsome!!!
p.s sooooo glad they weren’t tightey whiteys!!!
“I remain removeeed, I remain removeeeed” I really liked the song. It was a nice way to start my day.
Mr Burk
I must say sir, you do have the whole package, and the fact that you are married and have a baby just makes you seem all that much more complete. I hope you are as happy with life as you have been givin the right to be.
Your voice is beautifuly soulful,love it
you a very good actor. Very good looking and seemingly very down to earth. Rob has nothing on you.
Hey Billy,
I really love the new song, your voice is beautiful and sultry!!
hey billy! (:
just popping in to say hi, how are you?
i listened to your song today it was really good i loved it (:
and i can’t wait to see removal. it looks so effin creepy lol
also, i think its pretty shitty that charlie doesn’t get an eclipse poster!
they could have put him in one with at least Bella or something lol
there should also be a TEAM CHARLIE out there somewhere, id love to have a dad like charlie swan!
can’t wait to watch Removal with my eyes wide covered! haha
WOW!!! “Removal” looks fan-freakin-tastic! Now that is what we call a horror film! When does it come out? I have to see this film…
Just watched Lost Junction and loved it. Also, saw your scene breaking up a fight between Jacob and Edward in Eclipse on Oprah. Great scene!!!
Hello Billy.
I love you and i Can’t wait for your new cd….
And i made these for you:
I hope you like them, and watch them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0pOPXiDRIw
sorry, is the first video i made!
Bye Alessia.
I have been so upset that they always leave “Charlie” out when they refer to the HOT GUYS of Twighlight. Billy is just as hot as the others!!!

Removal looks amazing!! Can’t wait to hear your new album xx
OMG i met you at twicon at the meet and greet and ya said i was giving you a weird look when you came to our table. you are so awesome and even stayed talking to us longer than the other tables. it was so cool and!!! congrats on the album and can’t wait to see you in your other projects!
I <3 you!!!!
Iddy
The trailer for “Removal” is outstanding! I have to admit I won’t go to see it because it also looks as if it will haunt me when I sleep and I still have nightmares about Freddy Krueger when I accidentally saw snippets of that one (the original one!) at a slumber party. So, please, just tell me that Billy is the good guy?! I can’t tell who his character is or what part he plays in the story … but I really need for him to be the good guy! If he isn’t, Charlie Swan will come and get him and lock him up forever! ;^)
Your video of the up coming movie Removal is certainly not one that I may watch unless my whole family watches with me. I don’t do well with horror movies. But am looking foward to eclipes and breaking dawn. And will you be in the last movie of the twilight saga. I still not yet recieved your free downloaded song yet to my email, but will wait patiently. Congradulations to you and family of your new arrival your baby girl.
Billy,
Thank you for enduring even if Alice and Chains made it big when you left Seatle to come to LA back in the early 90′s. One thing that you have that Alice and Chains does not: you are still alive where their lead died of an overdose. Without Layne, they just don’t sound the same. Am looking forward to “your sound.”
I am totally frightened about this kind of movies, but since you are in it I’ll do the exception. Hope it doesn’t give me nightmares… x) Much love
What a fantastic talent, cant wait to hear your record!!
Keep up the good work.
I must admit before Twilight and adding the fact that im just a Brit !
I had never had the good fortune of seeing any of your work before.
Now Im a BIG fan of yours. Got up early the morning you were on GMTV just to catch you.
Looking forward to hearing this Album…. Hoping it will be available in the UK. If you sing like you speak it’s gunna sound sweet.
Good luck in all you do xx Trish xx
Billy what more can I say except YOU ARE FAB!!
I was at the TwiCon 2009 event in Dallas, Texas so I remember it very well and was part of the screaming fans you must have seen from the table. It was a great day.
I love your work in movies and tv and I am super excited to listen to the single once it is done. I will definitely check out the full album once it is ready too!! I do have to say Removal looks damn freaky and I just don’t watch scarey movies….but I will tell others to go see it.
Wow, Removal looks awesome! I can’t wait until it’s in theatres! ^^
Hey Billy!! =)
I’m a little bit of a younger fan, but you are such an amazing actor! I was a fan before Twilight but now, I’m an even bigger fan! You fit the role of Charlie perfectly!! Just wanted to say “hey” and can’t wait to hear some more music from you! Have a great day! =)
Caitlin
I also agree you have the best performance in the Twilight movies. I’ve seen a lot of your other works. Love your work!!! Excited to hear your music! good luck!
Wow! Billy you’ve been a busy guy! Removal looks AWESOME I will definatley see that one I love thrillers! Hey whats up with the pick of your manicure I’ve seen on my twilight blog?? kinda weird?! no offence:) Well congrats on the album and new movie. they bolth look absolutley fab. and so does yor website. Oh yeah p.s. My pal and I made a Team Charlie shirt for a friend of ours and we’ve had requests for 10 more from other people. YOU ROCK BILLY (literally!)
I want a TEAM CHARLIE shirt!
Funny that you haven’t read the books, yet so many of us agree that you nailed the character of Charlie… you emote his personality to a tee. You had the most professional performance in the first film and continue to endear the viewers to Charlie and to yourself. Great job! Looking forward to seeing you in more and varied roles.
Hi, Billy Burke! congratulations to you… i’m sorry if my english is too bad, because i’m french so… Well, i’m so excited to listen your CD!! i love what you do, and you live my dream!! To be an actress…. Continue like that!! You rock!! Good luck… <3

YOU HAVE BEEN ONE OF MY FAVS FOR ALONG TIME AND YOU ARE SEXY AS HELL TOO!
Just watched the videos you have posted, I can’t wait for ‘Removal’ to come out. Tonight was the first time I’ve ever heard of it, I will be sure to spread the word about it though.
Your daughters name is bluesy la’rue? That is a beautiful name…love how it’s music related…so adorable!
I was actually at twicon 2009 in Dallas, the convention was ok, but you, the rest of the cast and the musicians really made it worth while and really made us forget that the staff being complete a**holes to the fans. I hope you had fun and enjoyed Texas enough to come back and see us.
Billy i can’t wait to see removal. so this is ur turn at something supernatural. I think you have more reach than “charlie” characters, plz keep reaching. can’t wait to hear single. did not realize you were in along came a spider till i watched it last night. you are so cute, lucky wife!!!
Good luck with launching the ‘second half’ of your dual career!
Thank you for the free track. A gift of art is such a special one, the artist giving of his heart and soul. I can hardly wait to listen to it!
Oh Holy F—!! You are so damn HOT!!! I just went back and looked at your photo shoot…whew now I have something to dream about tonight!
Thanks!!!!!!!
Billy, your new movie Removal looks amazing. I can’t wait to see it. Your HOT!
I love watching your interviews. You are witty and charming and funny. I have to thank you for bringing “Charlie” to life for the fans of the Twilight Saga . . . freaking fabulous! Looking very forward to following your musical career as well now!
Billy, You are a very good actor, you put truth to the characters giving them a profound meaning, total magic intent… I have no doubt your music would be just as perfect.
I wish you the best in this new adventure!
Odalis
Love your new website! Especially the video of your photo shoot. Hope you will add a section for still photos as well as videos. Congratulations on the completion of your album…can’t wait to hear the first track. Looking forward to your new movies as well as the music! Best of Luck!
I can’t wait to hear your music! I really look forward and I enjoyed your interviews and Love you on the Twilight Saga!
Billy I had the pleasure of meeting you at the New Moon Premier in LA and I was very impressed with you then and the compasion you showed your fans. Now after looking at this site I am even more impressed with the character behind the character.. Thanks for sharing.
You totally Rock! I have seen most of your movies and am in the process of trying to see them all n adding them to my collection. You are awesome as Charlie Swan! Can’t wait to see your part in Eclipse. Looking forward to your new single too. Keep up the Great Work!
Well, I admire you so much. I can hardly wait to get your album! I’m so pleased to know that you have an offiicial website. I love it! I wish you all the best! Love from Uruguay =)
Hello from Everett, WA! It’s spring here and everything is coming up tulips & daffodils-remember?
Looks like your efforts are flowering as well-must be a fabulous feeling to finally reach your music goals-congrats! Looking forward to hearing your music, so far I’ve enjoyed everything you do. BTW-every time I go to the store and see the cans of Ranier Beer (“Vitamin R”-lol!) I think of you! Take care-and WA State loves you!
Thanks for the free download Billy…looking forward to receiving it
i wonder if he will actually reply??? this is just an experimental, unsolicited comment to see if Billy replies. I just want to tell you that i think you’re a great actor and i’m looking forward to seeing what you got as a singer, especially if you like – now – Alice in Chains.
Best of luck,
Vanessa, a devoted BB fan :]
Removal looks absolutely intriguing! Can’t wait to watch it!! Patiently waiting for the single as well.
OMG!!! can NOT wait for REMOVAL!!!!
I bet you´re the bad guy!! looks awesome the movie!!
best wishes billy love you!!!
kisses from Monterrey, Mexico.
Love the sight, looking forward to the single, and good luck to you!!!
Removal looks great ! And I can’t wait for Eclipse also. But I love the site Billy !
Removal looks incredible! I saw that it’s supposed to be released this year. Do you know if there’s a definite date yet?
Amo el personaje de Charly Swan es como Emmett Cullen son de pocas palabras pero las justas para ganarse el corazo de una fan…y como eres un artista completo ahora nos cantas … sere la primera en comprar ese CD cuando este a la venta
Love these… you have the sweetest spirit about you You are someone that it would be easy to forget all the celebrity whopa and just be good friends with. God Bless you and your family.
Removal looks good, and it looks a little creepy. It looks like you guys have a lot of fun at the TwiCon events. (You should read the books. The movies leave out a lot of Charlie’s best moments. Maybe, you could get them to add a few more. I would like to see more Charlie!)
Congrats on the site! It looks great!!!
xoxoxoxo
Billy!!! I heart you!!! Cant wait for your single release! Wooooot!
