TV Guide’s Hollywood 411 interviews Carlos Bernard

The Southfork ranch is going to have a bit of a CTU vibe to it when TNT’s Dallas reboot debuts next summer. Vulture has learned that 24 icon Carlos Bernard, who played Jack’s faithful sidekick (until he wasn’t, then was, then wasn’t … ) Tony Almeida, has landed a recurring role on the drama, which will start early in the season. Bernard will play a suave Venezuelan businessman trying to hammer out a deal with J.R. (and hopefully, said deal will include crafty terrorists and several fake deaths). Bernard is currently playing the father of a serial killer in a season-long CSI: Miami arc.

Carlos Bernard

CSI: Miami‘s Horatio Caine (David Caruso) is no stranger to formidable foes, but this season his opponent will be quite a doozy. 24 alum Carlos Bernard has been cast as Horatio’s spectacularly wealthy season-long nemesis, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

“We’re going to slowly position Horatio in opposition to a very subtle, but powerful, political patriarch,” co-executive producer Barry O’Brien tells us. “He’s kind of a Donald Trump meets the Kennedy family. …There will be a very high-octane relationship between the two. A hero is as heroic as his opposition is deadly, so we’re really going to go there with this character.”

Bernard’s character, which hasn’t yet been named, is all the more ruthless because he uses his political sway to keep his depraved serial killer son safe from the law. [click to continue…]

Gideon's War by Howard Gordon

Normally 24 fans have a new season of the show to enjoy in January – unfortunately that’s not the case this year. But Howard Gordon, longtime executive producer and showrunner of 24, is hoping to fill that void with his novel debut Gideon’s War (previously known as “The Obelisk”).

Gideon’s War tells the story of two estranged brothers. Gideon Davis is a expert peace negotiator at the United Nations who has travelled the world. His older brother Tillman is the complete opposite, a man accused of being a ruthless terrorist that goes by the name of Abu Nasir; a drug smuggler, arms dealer, and pirate that seizes ships for large ransoms.

Peggy Kennedy 24 casting director

On Sunday (Dec. 12), a large group of friends, family and colleagues gathered at the Darryl Zanuck Theater on the 20th Century Fox studio lot in Los Angeles, Calif., to pay tribute to casting director Peggy Kennedy, who died on Friday, Dec. 3, at the age of 65 (a number which, during her life, appeared to have been a source of comic dispute) after a brief battle with cancer.

Carlos Bernard at 24 Marathon Challenge

Carlos Bernard

He played: Tony Almeida, Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7.
What he’s doing now: “I’m producing and starring in a pilot with Deran Sarafian (‘House.’) It’s called ‘The Blue Wall’ and is the true story of an ex-police officer who was chosen by New York mayor David Dinkins to go after corrupt cops. It’s a really interesting story. We’ll see what happens. I still get recognized as Tony. People yell out, ‘Hey, Tony!’ That’s good. It means they enjoyed me on ’24.’”
Which series he’d watch a marathon of: “‘Dexter.’ I like that show. It has great acting, great writing and really strong directing. That’s one of the few shows that I watch.”

Check out the full interview – with responses from Gregory Itzin, Necar Zadegan, Jon Cassar, and Lou Diamond Phillips, over at TV Squad.

Kiefer Sutherland Carlos Bernard and Jon Cassar

Kiefer Sutherland has revealed he tried to move in with his co-star Carlos Bernard.

The 43-year-old actor is best known for his portrayal of top federal agent Jack Bauer in hit US drama 24, which ended this year after eight seasons.

Kiefer gets on incredibly well with his co-stars from the show, notably 48-year-old Carlos Bernard who plays Tony Almeida.

The two actors once enjoyed such a fun night out that Kiefer suggested they move in together, although Carlos’ actress wife Sharisse Baker wasn’t too keen on the idea.

“Earlier this year Carlos Bernard and I went to a party and didn’t leave until 5am. I tried to move in with him that night and he said, ‘Maybe…’ and his wife said, ‘No’,” laughed Kiefer in an interview with Empire.

The talented actor cites working alongside Carlos as one of the ultimate highlights of starring in 24. Kiefer still keeps in touch with many of the actors who have had roles in the programme over the past decade.

“The incredible friends I’ve made,” he responded when asked what the best thing about making the show was.

“I still see Leslie Hope, who played my wife (Teri Bauer) and was killed in season one.”
