Jere Burns Biography

Jere Burns decided to log some life experience working stints as a life guard on Cape Cod a cabbie in Boston and doing some low-budget touring of Europe. After he graduated in 1980 he moved to New York where he worked on an MFA Tisch School of the Arts and picked up stage work doing some off-Broadway shows and garnering as his most auspicious credit the title role in a version of Don Juan for the New York Shakespeare Festival. He landed a small part in an ABC Afterschool Special (1972-1997) in 1984 and decided to take a shot at more TV work so moved to Los Angeles. The relocation proved fruitful as he almost immediately landed a part as a serial rapist in a short arc on the groundbreaking urban drama Hill Street Blues (NBC 1981-87). He picked up some minor movie roles and by 1986 had acquired a healthy run of one-off jobs on primetime series. In 1987 he took on another heel a mercenary criminal who disposes of dead bodies for wicked cohorts on the proto-cyberpunk sci-fi series Max Headroom (ABC 1987-88). In 1988 Burns landed the part that would make his face famous.
