Robert John Burke: The Actor Who Became A Firefighter

Robert John Burke, who goes by Bobby, has been in programs like Tombstone, RoboCop 3, Law and Order: SVU, Gossip Girl, and Rescue Me. Even more important to him are his friendships with FDNY heroes who laid down their lives on 9/11, especially his best friend Captain Paddy Brown. Bobby decided to “pickup his flag”, help cleanup Ground Zero, and become a volunteer firefighter.
