Another cornerstone role is that of the suave and tactical fox demon Kurama in the classic series Yu Yu Hakusho. In the Dragon Ball franchise, he has been the definitive voice of the disciplined martial artist Tien Shinhan for decades, a role he has voiced in numerous series, films, and video games since the Funimation dubs began.

Beyond his on-screen performances, Burgmeier has had a significant behind-the-scenes impact as a writer. For many years, he served as the Head Writer at Funimation, a role from which he retired in 2018. In this capacity, he was the lead script writer for the English dub of the long-running series One Piece and contributed to the adaptation of numerous other series. His writing credits are extensive and include work on acclaimed titles such as Eden of the East, Attack on Titan, Steins;Gate, Deadman Wonderland, and the Rebuild of Evangelion films. This dual talent for voice acting and script adaptation has made him a versatile and invaluable figure in the industry.

Outside of voice acting and writing, Burgmeier is also a musician and a member of the rock band El Gato, in which he plays guitar and keyboard. His career, spanning from the late 1980s to the present, demonstrates a sustained and versatile contribution to English-dubbed anime, making him a familiar and respected voice among fans.
