[edit] Grounded for Life Career

Burbage played the youngest child on the show, Henry. He was often seen tagging along with his older brother Jimmy. Henry could be labeled the 'oddball' of the family. He would often get himself into strange but funny situations. At the end of the fourth season, Burbage decided to leave the show. When the cancellation of Grounded for Life surfaced, it was rumored that he would appear for the series finale. He was however, referenced a few times, such as in the final episode, at his sister Lily's graduation, when his grandfather said 'Henry's around here somewhere'.

[edit] Recent Appearances

Burbage is now a contestant on the third season of a YouTube version of The Mole. A huge twist in this season is that two competitors (Paige and Julie) are twins, and are treated as one player by selecting which one of them competes in the challenges, and taking the questionnaire together. They will be eliminated together, win together or possibly even be the mole together. Jake won the first exemption on offer in the game. The series, entitled The Mole: Surf City, can be found on YouTube here. He recently won the competition, defeating both Evan (who was runner-up) and Ryan (who was the mole).
