After being spotted on the show Hunter opposite Fred Dryer, Borlenghi was tracked down by execs and offered the role that brought him to national attention, playing Brian Bodine on All My Children in the early 1990s. His character was the main romantic interest of Hayley Vaughan, played by Kelly Ripa, until he quit the show in 1993 in favor of doing comedy TV.

He also guest-starred on Melissa and Joey and other shows. He directed a short film, Jack, which won him awards on the film festival circuit. He played the title role in the independent film Jack Rio, which he also co-wrote and produced with director Gregori J. Martin ("The Bay"), and more recently, "Branded" and "Friend Zone".
