In recent years Burnet also completed a number of roles in feature films and on the New York stage as well as small writing roles. He currently plays Casey Finney on American TV series Ray Donovan and Mike in American TV series The Affair.
Burnet was born in London, England. He is multilingual. He attended Holland Park School where his interest in drama first developed, taking an A level in the subject.
Before becoming an actor, Burnet aspired to become a professional footballer. He attended Queens Park Rangers Soccer School. He subsequently undertook trials and played in various locations throughout Europe and in Tel Aviv, Israel before returning to London to complete his A levels.
Guy is also an amateur Boxer with a few bouts.
He still plays football, taking part in a football match on 2 June 2007 at the new Wembley Stadium prior to England's first match at the stadium. In September 2007 he played for England in an England v Russia charity match in support of the Give Life Foundation.

Burnet joined the cast of Hollyoaks in 2002 as a main character and series regular following his second ever audition. On 3 August 2007 Hollyoaks Producer Bryan Kirkwood confirmed on Digital Spy that Burnet was quitting Hollyoaks. He said, "I am genuinely gutted that Guy is leaving the show, but after five years he feels the time is right. He's an amazing actor and has really come into his own through his work on the Craig and John Paul storyline - and has helped turn it into one of Hollyoaks' biggest ever storylines. We've left the door open for him to return and I wish him the very best of luck for whatever he does next."
