Burt Gummer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Burt Gummer is a fictional character, played by actor Michael Gross, from the Tremors film series and the short lived SciFi Channel TV program of the same name. Appearing in Tremors, Tremors 2: Aftershocks, Tremors 3: Back to Perfection, and several episodes of the TV series, Burt Gummer is a firearms enthusiast, and a paranoid survivalist. Formerly wed to Heather Gummer, (played by Reba McEntire), he has an "overkill" approach to trouble and takes himself deadly seriously; his eccentric personality has made him a favourite among Tremors fans and the de facto star of the franchise, along with the vicious Graboids who oppose him. His ancestor, Hiram Gummer, appears in Tremors 4: The Legend Begins.
