23-year-old Burns is from Bacchus Marsh, Victoria and has already kick-started an acting and modelling career.
Neighbours marks his first Australian television role, after appearing in The CW series SAF3 last year.
Burns said that the name of his character is coincidentally the name of his six-year-old nephew, saying: "It felt like an omen when I was told the name of the character and my nephew is convinced the role is based on him."
In an interview with Digital Spy in June, McGregor admitted that it would be good to meet some of Mark's family.
"I think it'd be really nice if we could meet some members of his family in the future," he explained. "Maybe it's something I'll speak to the writers about."
