At 20, she made her big screen debut with a small role in the movie In the Name of the Father (1993). A bigger role followed in Circle of Friends (1995), starring Minnie Driver. Burrows' first starring role was in the Australian film, Hotel de Love (1996). In 2000, she was nominated for a Blockbuster Entertainment Award as Favorite Actress - Newcomer for Deep Blue Sea (1999).
More films followed, including Time Code (2000), Frida (2002), Troy (2004) and Reign Over Me (2007), but it wasn't until she joined the cast of Boston Legal in 2007 that Burrows' face became familiar to American audiences.
She stayed with the show for a year, then returned to the big screen with roles in films such as The Bank Job (2008) co-starring Jason Statham and Love and Virtue (2008), starring alongside John Malkovich, Peter O'Toole and Michael Madsen.
