Some critics say that he has been typecast as a psychopath as this is the type of character he has played on at least three television shows (One Life to Live, All My Children and Family Passions). In 1997 Born walked out of his role on AMC, prompting an emergency recast as well as rumors that Born would never find a job in daytime again. After spending time away from acting (at one point he even pushed carts in a hospital), Born returned to daytime in 1999. He garnered small parts on a few soaps until his 2002 OLTL return.
