Although Burns' seminal role as a sleazy would-be ladies' man on the sitcom Dear John pigeonholed him on the small screen, this stage-trained actor continued to land diverse theater parts in both Los Angeles and New York.

After a few short-lived shows and several guest spots, in 2006 he returned to series television as a group-therapy devotee on Help Me Help You.
