Richard Burgi at an event for In Her Shoes (2005)
Trailer :90. PhD student Esther connects unusual tremors in L.A. to rogue scientists, who are desperately seeking Nikola Teslas lost notebook. If captured, Teslas deadly research will enhance the destructive power of their master plan to manipulate thoughts and to manufacture an epic earthquake to take out world leaders during the G-20 World Economic Summit. The key is the professor, who has vanished along with the notebook. Esther and her crew of misfits are the only hope to find him before the G-20 is reduced to ashes and rubble. Final Frequency stars Charles Shaughnessy (The Nanny, The Magicians, Days of our Lives), Lou Ferrigno Jr. (SWAT, Stargirl).

Richard Burgi was born on July 30, 1958, in Montclair, New Jersey (a town roughly 15 miles west of New York City), to a musical family: His father was a drummer, his mother was a singer, and one of his three siblings became a drummer. Burgi started participating in community theater during his youth; after graduating from Montclair High School, he traveled throughout Europe for a while.

Burgi began his acting career in the mid-1980s, and from 1986 through 1989 he had recurring roles on two daytime staples, Un autre monde (1964) and As the World Turns (1956); he also appeared in one episode of On ne vit qu'une fois (1968).

Throughout the 1990s, Burgi continued working steadily in television series, along them Des jours et des vies (1965) and the crime drama The Sentinel (1996), where he was one of the leads, Det. James Ellison. He also had roles (some one-time, some recurring) on 24 heures chrono (2001), Amy (1999), Point Pleasant: Entre le bien et le mal (2005), Las Vegas (2003), Chuck (2007), Les frères Scott (2003) and Desperate Housewives (2004).

Burgi's film work includes the sci-fi "alien bugs vs. humans" sequel Starship Troopers 2 : Héros de la Fédération (2004), Cellular (2004), the Jim Carrey comedy Braqueurs amateurs (2005), the Cameron Diaz comedy In Her Shoes (2005), Hostel, chapitre II (2007), and Vendredi 13 (2009). In 2013, he landed a recurring role as D.A. Dan Russell on the series Body of Proof (2011).

Burgi is married to Liliana Lopez and is the father of two sons, Jack (b. 1996) and Sam (b. 2000).
