Full Xander Berkeley Biography
On the big screen, Berkeley has appeared in North Country, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, A Few Good Men, Candyman, Apollo 13, Leaving Las Vegas, Gattaca, The Rock (uncredited), Air Force One, Sid and Nancy, Spawn, Amistad, Shanghai Noon, and Timecode. Berkeley has the distinction of appearing in both the made-for-TV movie L.A. Takedown in 1989 and its bigger-budget 1995 theatrical remake Heat, both directed by Michael Mann. Several of his earlier roles were in films by director Alex Cox. Most of his roles have been unsympathetic characters.
In 2001, Berkeley became a recurring guest star on 24 as George Mason, the head of the Counter Terrorist Unit. His character, initially presumed evil by other characters and the fans, was revealed to be one of the good guys and became a main character in season 2, only to meet an untimely (but heroic) end. However, the show did give Berkeley the chance to meet his future wife, Sarah Clarke, thus 17 years his junior who played turncoat agent and villainess Nina Myers for the first three seasons of the show. On September 23, 2006, she gave birth to their first daughter, Olwyn Harper Berkeley.
Berkeley is a painter and a sculptor, as well as a skilled make-up artist who designed his own make-up on 24 when his character was suffering from the deteriorating effects of radiation sickness. Both he and his wife have played turncoat federal agents: he played a traitorous Secret Service agent in Air Force One, and he played CTU agent George Mason in 24. |
