He was a cast member of Party of Five from 1997–1999, Carnivàle from 2003–05 and Tell Me You Love Me in 2007. He has also guest-starred on a number of top-rated television series, including Seinfeld, Friends, CSI, My Name Is Earl, NCIS, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Scrubs, and Chuck.

Early life
Tim DeKay was born June 12, 1963 to Jim and Jill DeKay in Lansing, New York, where he and his brother Jamey grew up. Growing up DeKay enjoyed athletics, and he played both varsity basketball and baseball, the latter of which is a generational tradition in his family. He also enjoyed the arts, and performed in his high school's production of Oliver!. He attended Le Moyne College to study Business and Philosophy, where he also played baseball, eventually deciding to pursue a career in theater.[2][3] After graduating with a bachelor's degree in business administration in 1985, he planned for a career in business or law, but eventually realized that the theater was his true calling. After taking a few courses in directing at Syracuse University,[4] he attended Rutgers University, where he received an Master of Fine Arts and met his wife, actress Elisa Taylor.[3]
Career
He appeared in two episodes of Seinfeld: "The Soul Mate" and "The Bizarro Jerry", as Elaine's boyfriend Kevin. He would work with Julia Louis-Dreyfus again in The New Adventures of Old Christine, where he played a temperamental boyfriend of Louis-Dreyfus's character in a three episode story arc. His resume includes numerous theatrical credits, with performances in plays both on and off Broadway, including: Ridiculous Fraud at the McCarter Theatre; Billy Budd at the Circle in the Square Theatre; Someone to Watch Over Me with the Denver Theatre Company; The Merchant of Venice on the Hartford Stage; and the national tour of The Lion in Winter. In 2009, he was both director and producer of the short film This Monday. The film was included in several short film festivals, including Cannes Short Film Corner and The Palm Springs International Short Film Festival (ShortFest).[citation needed]
In 2009, DeKay began starring in the USA Network comedy-drama White Collar as FBI agent Peter Burke. He made his directorial debut in the episode "Stealing Home", which premiered in 2012.[5] In March 2015, it was announced that he will play FBI agent Duval Pritchard in the FOX pilot, Frankenstein.[6]
DeKay returned to Le Moyne College in May 2010 as the commencement speaker, and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa.[7][8] He is a member of the Actors Studio. He taught as an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California.[4]
