Charles R. Bush III (born July 1, 1961 in Louisiana) is a filmmaker primarily known for co-starring with Kevin Costner in the 1985 film Fandango. In recent years Bush has become known as an entertainment entrepreneur, expanding his business holdings to film and television companies, a record label and a video game development studios.
Charles R. Bush, III was born in New Orleans, however "Chuck" grew up in the nearby city of Houma, Louisiana. In 1982 Bush moved to Austin, Texas. On April 3, 1983, at the age of 21, he entered a 7-11 store at the same moment Kevin Reynolds was exiting. Reynolds was in Austin to begin principal photography on his film Fandango, and Bush resembled a character that Reynolds had been unsuccessful in casting. The two men spoke briefly and Bush was asked to audition the next morning. Reynolds cast Chuck Bush as the serene "Dorman," a gentle-giant-type who rounded out a cast that included actors Kevin Costner and Judd Nelson.
Following Fandango Bush took a lead role in a horror film, Terror in the Swamp, being produced by his high school friend, Martin Folse.
Bush has since found success as producer, editor and writer of several family films and television projects. In 1990, Bush moved back to Louisiana. In 1995, Bush was the Supervising Producer on the film Breezy Hill. And in 1996 he produced the film Favorite Son. Bush then formed Burning Bush Communications, Inc. to assist in the production of non-toxic motion pictures shot around the world.
Burning Bush's largest client was The Visual Bible Project, which produced two epic-length motion pictures in the late 1990s. Burning Bush, in conjunction with LA Entertainment Group, developed 23 products for The Visual Bible. Burning Bush, in a strategic alliance with IBM Interactive Media, produced the first two disc DVD of an epic motion picture beginning in 1997 and released ultimately in 1999. That project was The Visual Bible's The Gospel According to Matthew, a word for word dramatic performance of the NIV Bible brought to life on film.
Mr. Bush also created the company Burning Bush Studios for audio post production of motion pictures. Here he was executive producer. Both these companies were located in Baton Rouge. During their existence, one or both of the Burning Bush companies took part in the post production of seven feature-length motion pictures. These films were produced in the United States, Morocco, Italy and Poland.
