Let’s begin.
Early Life & Education
Steve, the dashing boy, was born on October 9, 1973. He belongs to Pennsylvania, in a small town named Boyertown, and has two sisters; they all got their early education from a local school in Boyertown. In his early childhood, he used to make rock music and participated in many competitions. In 1991, when he finished college, he, fortunately, got a scholarship and entered DeSales University in his country.
Interestingly, he got admission to the degree of Theater, but he dropped out in just the second year due to some situation. It may be because he knew he could act well and so didn’t require a degree; he left his studies and moved to New York and started his professional life.
He chose acting to be his professional career. He started as a voice-over for several TV commercials, and then he got a chance to work in movies.
Steve Burns is 48 years of age now. After going through an audition process, he got all the fame when he first showed up in Blue’s Clues in 1995.
Career
The career of Steve Burns had already been started when he came to New York and started doing films. His famous movies include Life in the Street, Law and Order, and Homicide. But these films never got him as much fame as the children’s show did.
Steve Burns got the chance to give an audition for a children’s show. Without knowing that this show would turn his life, he just randomly gave the audition. Without having any preparation before the audition, he just wore a wig of very long hair, and the army wore out pants and an earring.
He tried to look funny as the show was for small kids. To his luck and surprise, he won the audition among the other 100 participants and got selected. This was nothing but amazing and a huge success. This show was Blue’s Clues, particularly for pre-school kids.
Blue was a dog who had to act alongside Steve in this show. The show got so much success in no time that even the mothers with their children in their early teens started watching the show.
Many people asked about how he felt about this huge success and if there was something that he disliked. He said the only tricky thing was to act on a blue screen as it felt like performing at the base of a swimming pool.
Who knew that Steve Burns would leave the show one day so suddenly and leave everyone in awe. It happened after the 100 episodes of the show when people were so used to watching the show. He convinced the show owners to replace him with Donovan Patton, who was already performing as his brother in the show.
After leaving Blue’s Clues, Steve Burns performed as a voice-over artist for another children’s play, called Roll Play. He did this show from the year of 2006 to 2010. Steve Burns also played with small bands in his early school and college. He was a rock musician, and the interesting fact is that he got this interest from his father’s gift.
His father brought him a toy guitar when he was a child, which made him go further in music. After leaving Blue’s Clues, he started giving time to his passion for music. He worked with David Fridmann and Steve Drozd. They made his mind towards writing his own songs. Moreover, he learned about developing different sounds from them and then released his first album named Dust Mites in 2003.
He kept on working, and then the second album was released in 2009. Its name was “Deep Sea Recovery,” and people loved it. The interesting fact is that he initiated his own band with the title of “Steve Burns and the Struggles” in 2009, and this band consisted of all these old friends from 2003.
Reason Behind Leaving Blue’s Clues
There were many personal reasons associated with leaving a successful show. He said in an interview that he felt like the show had already been expanded so much. He added that he had full hair on his scalp when he started doing the show, and in the end, he was almost bald.
He started the show when he was just 29 years old, and performing 100 episodes made him worn out. Moreover, many of his show mates had already left and were doing other things, so he too wanted to move on and try new things.
