Fox's 24
In 2001 he joined the cast of the FOX Network's television drama 24, where he played 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 name returned to be credited on the main cast at fifth season (2006), and it was recently confirmed in a FOX press release that Carlos will return to the show in the season 7 premiere as a main cast member once more.[3] [4]
