Billy Burke was born and raised in Bellingham, Washington, USA. He began singing at age nine, and joined a band at age fifteen. He continued to work with bands and study/performing drama at Western Washington University. He performed in Seattle at the Annex Theater, New City Festival, and the A.H.A. Theater, though it was as a musician, not an actor, that Burke first moved to Los Angeles. A demo deal with a major record label that "didn't quite pan out", left him to explore the only other thing he "knew he was good at". With two independent films shot in his native Seattle under his belt, he began auditioning and very soon working as an actor.
He made his feature film debut in the independent film Daredreamer (1989). After a string of mostly "bad guy with facial hair" TV guest appearances, he landed his first studio picture role in the Zucker brothers' genre spoof Mafia! (1998). Capitalizing on his deadpan comedic sensibilities, he then won the title role in Dill Scallion (1999), the cult classic "mockumentary" about the rise and fall of a slightly touched country music singer. Co-starring in "Dill", was then fledgling writer/director Peter Berg. It was Berg who brought Billy back to television to play "Dr. Abe Matthews" in the acclaimed ABC drama Wonderland (2000). Although its life on the air was short-lived, Wonderland (2000) won the hearts of critics and fans, alike, and was recently re-released in its entirety on DirecTV.
Paramount's Along Came a Spider (2001) marked Billy's first revisit to studio films. He then returned yet again to television for the second season of Fox's mega hit series 24 (2001). His disturbing portrayal of abusive father and husband "Gary Matheson" still resonates as a fan favorite. In 2004, Billy teamed up with John Travolta and Joaquin Phoenix in the firefighter drama Ladder 49 (2004). It was here that the studios once again began to recognize his on-screen magnetism. So, after another steady stream of notable television performances, he was cast alongside Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling in New Line's hit thriller Fracture (2007), directed by NYPD Blue (1993) creator Gregory Hoblit. This multi-layered turn as a flawed cop snared by his own aberrations caught the eye of Academy Award winning director Robert Benton. Benton swiftly invited Billy to join the cast of his and Lakeshore Entertainment's Feast of Love (2007), which included Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear. As fate would have it, neither Gregory Hoblit nor Lakeshore had seen enough of Burke's dry wit and unshakable persona, so when it came time to find a match for Diane Lane in Untraceable (2008), he got the call to play the rock solid "Detective Eric Box". Since arriving in Hollywood in the early 90s, Billy Burke has never stopped working. There are countless credits that come in between the aforementioned that of course, also serve as a testament to his gift and longevity. However, it was a chance viewing of Dill Scallion (1999) that struck an indelible head turn for director Catherine Hardwicke. The impression Billy's performance left, lasted until they met in 2007 while Hardwicke and Summit Entertainment were looking for someone to play "Charlie Swan" in their film adaptations of the bestselling book series The "Twilight" Saga. After a brief meeting and read-through of a few scenes, Billy and Catherine agreed... it was "meant to be". Summit followed suit and welcomed him into the franchise. Millions of fans around the world have concurred with the choice and the overwhelming response to his theatrical work has given him solace in the fact that he never got that record deal.- Actor

Michael Rogers' experiences span more than five decades in film, television, and theater.
Starting as a young community theater performer in the early '70s, he quickly found that acting was just a small part of the overall stage experience. Wanting to further his theater knowledge, Michael expanded his duties to stage manager and technical supervisor, initially with Cascade Players, then at Lower Columbia College, University of Washington (where he accompanied the Huskie football team to the 1977 Rose Bowl), and at Pacific University, where his studies included Medical Technology with minors in Business Management and Theatre. His theater experience as an actor, technical supervisor or musician included numerous musicals such as "Godspell", "Brigadoon", "Rocky Horror Picture Show", "HMS Pinafor", "Student Prince", "Hair", "Jesus Christ Superstar", and "The Fantastiks", to name a few.
After a brief stint as a medic, he furthered his studies in Medical and Paramedical Technology at Central Washington University and University of Alaska, Anchorage. Working as a Paramedic in Alaska, Michael managed to find time to perform in various cabarets, and in 1980 he accepted a position as Co-producer and Master of Ceremonies for a San Francisco Performing Arts and Dance Company. After the first season, the group began touring internationally (Canada, Japan, & US) where Michael logged an impressive 1,500 shows, including the Princess Cruise Lines.
In 1983, Michael felt the call of Hollywood. In the years that he lived in Los Angeles, Michael's appearances included numerous commercials, films, as well as television shows. He expanded his resume to include film production.
In 1989 Michael's "live show" production experience and his lifelong love of music (he's an accomplished pianist) yielded him an offer with a personal management company based in Los Angeles, where he worked with name artists helping to organize tours, personal appearances, music videos and recordings.
After two years in the music world, an opportunity presented itself to Michael that he could not resist. A start-up company wanted to expand in the newly "freed" Czechoslovakia. Michael accepted immediately, arriving in Prague in 1991. He was one of the first to produce a music festival in the "new" Prague, "Let the Sun Shine", celebrating the new "Age of Aquarius" in Eastern Europe. Co-directing and co-editing 6 music videos shot in Czechoslovakia prior to the show, cemented him in the rapidly expanding film market.
During his first three years in Prague, Michael helped to establish this new company as an international distribution and sales rep. He also was involved with local ex pat theater groups. Always looking for opportunities, and slowly becoming familiar with the "language & customs", Michael's production experience allowed him to co-produce & co-edit two segments of "Na Vlastni Oci" for Nova Television, the first private television station in Prague. And again capitalizing on his love of music and music management experience in LA, Michael was involved extensively with the start up of a concert company - now one of the biggest in Europe - and in addition to working with many name artists and groups, in 1994 was the Prague Production Manger for Pink Floyd, supervising over 500 local personnel for the show at Strahov Stadium with over 180,000 fans in attendance.
Michael was introduced to a Canadian/Czech company in 1994. Initially hired for a lead role in one of their films, he became the company's Production Manger the following year and Line Producer in 1996, where he remained until moving to Vienna in 2005.
This love of acting that has been present with Michael since his early days of theater, has transferred nicely into the European film community. He has made numerous appearances in productions. And, more impressively, many of these appearances were also while doing "double duty" as Line Producer and/or Production Manager.
Since moving to Vienna, he has also found a place working consistantly as an english language trainer and dialogue coach- Vannevar Bush was born on 11 March 1890 in Everett, Massachusetts, USA. He was married to Phoebe Davis. He died on 28 June 1974 in Belmont, Massachusetts, USA.
