Thomas R. Burke

Thomas R. Burke—yeah, that guy—he’s popped up in a handful of films that really made some noise, especially if you’re into stories that twist your brain up in knots or tug at your heartstrings. Take *Call Jane* from 2022. It's set in the '60s—a time when women’s rights were, honestly, barely a whisper compared to the roar they are now. Burke’s work in that film? Not just acting, but part of a project that digs right into the guts of what it meant to fight for autonomy, showing the underground network of women helping women when the system basically slammed the door in their faces. Jump back a few years to *The Endless* (2017) and you’ll find him knee-deep in some wild sci-fi horror weirdness. The movie’s got these two brothers who bail on a UFO death cult, only to get sucked back in years later. Time loops, cultish mind games, cosmic madness—you name it, it’s in there. Burke’s name attached to something like that? You know it’s not your average walk in the park. Then there’s *Synchronic* from 2019. Think trippy time-travel but make it gritty and honestly a bit haunting. Two paramedics stumble onto a designer drug that doesn’t just mess with your head—it literally messes with time. Suddenly, past and present are colliding in ways that are more terrifying than any bad trip you’ve ever heard about. Burke brings his A-game to storytelling that isn’t afraid to get dark, weird, and emotional, all at once. The guy’s got a knack for picking projects that leave your brain buzzing long after the credits roll.
