Hmmm... Robert Smith*, and Edward Scissorhands... Yeah, I definitely suspect that Smith might have been kicking around in Timothy Burton's mind.
*Or did you mean guy?:
(Senator Robert Smith of NH. A great Senator, but I doubt he was into the Cure. But, it could've been worse... The media declared the winner of his last election victory to be a guy named Dick Swett.)
Next to discuss.. Billy Idol, and William the Bloody, AKA "Spike."
To add insult to industry, Dick Swett's brother-in-law is named Timber Dick. I kid you not.
