"I left the show because it was just simply time to go," he said. "I was pretty much playing a boyish, older brother-ish kind of character on the show. I was getting older; I was losing my hair."
"A lot of the original gangsters on the show, like the people who created it, were all moving on to other careers," Burns continued. "I just had a gut feeling like it was time to go."
