Burns attended Radford University on a gymnastics scholarship, but gave it up to pursue theater instead. He graduated from Radford in 1991. After graduating, he studied acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Burns hosted the game show Oblivious, in which Burns acted as someone or something, such as an artist or golf instructor, and asked a contestant a series of five questions in conversation. The contestant wouldn't realize it was a hoax until all questions had been asked. They would then receive money for answering questions. Burns's other work include commentary for several E! shows. He played the arsonist Alan Shepard on Comedy Central's Halfway Home and plays a recurring character on Fox News Channel's The 1/2 Hour News Hour. He also appeared as a citizen of Reno, Nevada in an episode of Reno 911! and had a cameo in the direct-to-DVD movie Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd: Out of Control as a lab tech. His work is mainly seen in TV commercials in both the United States and the United Kingdom, as he has appeared in various ads for Arby's, Capital One, Volkswagen, Holiday Inn, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Boston Pizza, Ooma, and others. Burns has also played "Beerman" in commercials for Coors Light. He appeared in the Back to You episode "A Gentleman Always Leads," which aired October 10, 2007. In December 2007, he appeared as a cashier in a corporate stunt by Burger King titled "Whopper Freakout" where a United States Burger King franchise informs its customers the signature Whopper has been discontinued. Burns played a teacher in two episodes of Zoey 101, and appeared in an episode of Supernatural later that year. In July 2010, he appeared in an episode of Sonny With a Chance. He has also appeared in an episode of I'm in the Band. In August 2010, Burns appeared in Zeke and Luther. From 2012 to 2015, Burns starred as Bennett James on the Disney Channel series Dog with a Blog. Since March 2009, Burns has been a regular film review contributor (usually Thursday or Fridays) on The Marc Germain Show, on TalkRadioOne.com.

Burns married Jennifer Warren in 1995. Together, they have two children.
