Fox's 24

In 2001 he joined the cast of the FOX Network's television drama 24, where he plays Tony Almeida, a government agent for a fictional agency called CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit). Bernard held the role for three seasons until his character, along with several others, was written out at the end of Season 3 (2004). His absence was short-lived, however, as he returned within the first seven hours of the fourth season (2005) credited as "Special Guest Star", and he remained on the show for the rest of the season.

His name returned to be credited as part of the main cast of the fifth season (2006) where his character was apparently killed. However, the character was brought back for Season 7 as a main cast member once more.[2][3]
