35	!!Tropes applying to Burghardt's acting work include:
36	* DarkerAndEdgier: In ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceAndThePauper'', Burghardt portrays WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} as a dastardly manipulator who attempts murder and regicide, making him one of the darkest versions of Pete in any Disney media. {{Inverted\|trope}} after that. Burghardt went on to voice Pete in some spinoff video games, mostly sports games, in which Pete is far less intimidating.
37	* EvilSoundsDeep: Burghardt's deep voice made him a perfect choice to play villains such as [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Devastator]], WesternAnimation/{{Pete}}, and ComicBook/{{Venom}}.
