Tim DeKay: From White Collar To Hollywood & Beyond
Ever wondered what happened to that charismatic FBI agent who chased down con artists with a wink and a well-placed quip? Timothy Robert DeKay, the man who embodied Peter Burke on the hit series "White Collar," is still very much a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment world.
Timothy Robert DeKay, often simply known as Tim DeKay, isn't just an actor; he's a storyteller. Born on June 12, 1963, in Ithaca, New York, he has carved a remarkable career across stage, television, and film. While many recognize him instantly as Peter Burke from the USA Network's "White Collar," his journey began long before the show's premiere and continues to evolve. DeKay's upbringing in Lansing, New York, with his parents, Jim DeKay and Jill Vaughn, and his brother, Jamey, laid the foundation for a multifaceted individual. From playing basketball and baseball in high school to starring in the school production of "Oliver!" during his senior year, DeKay displayed an early inclination towards both athleticism and the performing arts. He further honed his skills at Le Moyne College, graduating with a BS in Business Administration, a background that perhaps ironically adds depth to his understanding of the characters he portrays, often navigating complex worlds of finance and deception. His early foray into acting included a role as corporate giant Larry Deon on "SeaQuest 2032," hinting at the diverse roles he would later embrace.
