Buchanan was born in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. After studying acting in New York at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute and privately with Marcia Haufrecht, Buchanan's first major daytime role came in 1986, when he joined the cast of General Hospital in the role of Duke Lavery, whom he portrayed until 1989. After leaving the role of Lavery, Buchanan appeared in roles on prime-time series including It's Garry Shandling's Show as Ian McFyfer from 1988 to 1990, and in the second season of Twin Peaks as Dick Tremayne in 1991. In 1990, he played Sean Brantley, a wealthy Playboy-style magazine publisher in the Columbo television series episode Columbo Cries Wolf. He also guest-starred in episode 4 of the 1990 series The Flash as the villain Stan Kovacs. He appeared in a 1993 episode of Quantum Leap, titled "Blood Moon". In 1993, Buchanan returned to daytime and was cast on The Bold and the Beautiful in his second most recognized daytime role as Dr. James Warwick, which he portrayed until 1999. Buchanan has since reprised his role as Warwick in several guest appearances from 2004 to 2011. Following the end of his regular appearance as Warwick, Buchanan made a short appearance on Days of Our Lives in 2001 as Lord Sheraton. In 2002, he joined the cast of Port Charles portraying the sinister Joshua Temple until the show's end in 2003. In 2005, Buchanan joined the cast of All My Children, in the role of Greg Madden, a fertility specialist involved in the controversial "un-abortion" storyline involving Erica Kane (Susan Lucci), as well as the abduction of the daughter of Dixie Martin (Cady McClain) and Tad Martin (Michael E. Knight). Buchanan's role as Madden came to an end on 5 July 2006, when his character was killed. In 2012, Buchanan joined Days of Our Lives in the newly created contract role of Ian McAllister, who is the husband of Madison James (Sarah Brown) and a former lover of Kate Roberts DiMera (Lauren Koslow), but was let go in August, as the result of a shift in the direction of the series. On 27 August 2012, Buchanan returned to General Hospital as Duke Lavery after a 23-year absence. On 12 November, it was revealed that Buchanan was playing a dual role. Duke was actually Cesar Faison in disguise, and Faison was holding the real Duke hostage. On 5 July 2017, it was announced Buchanan would reprise his role as James Warwick on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Buchanan identifies as gay, and is married to his husband Antonio Hendricks.
