Robert John Burke
I watched the Hal Hartley film The Unbelievable Truth recently and thought Robert John Burke a very attractive man mostly ignored by modern film. He was a very charismatic character in the movie, and I have not seen him in much else. Sometimes a face just catches the imagination; I gather he went on to do Robocop after Peter Weller, why can't I find him on Lovefilm??
