Richard Burgi

Richard Burgi was born on 30th July 1958 in Montclair, New Jersey, USA. He is married to Lori Kahn, and they have two sons.

As a teenager, he was interested in the Secret Service. "I loved the name, I loved the idea of the stealthy nature of protecting and serving, doing all that cloak and dagger bull." After finishing school, Richard traveled throughout the U.S. and Europe, laying the foundation for an interest in travel that continues to this day.

He finally ended up in New York City and got a job at the Manhattan Squash Club as a squash pro, playing in tournaments and working construction jobs.

Richard Burgi moved to New York City and began studying acting and gaining experience with commercials and cameos, which led to regular roles on several daytime dramas, including "Days of Our Lives." Burgi is familiar to FOX viewers from his role in the first season of the Golden Globe-winning series "24," playing the part of Alan York/Kevin Carroll.

Richard is also an avid bird-watcher, an interest he discovered as a ten-year-old. In keeping with his fondness for birds and his dedication to hands-on, "grass roots" work, Richard has expressed interest in the work of the Orange County Bird of Prey Center, a volunteer-run organization which promotes the welfare of birds of prey through rehabilitation, preservation, and education programs.
