    According to the 24 directors, Tony's coming back at S7! Carlos, you rock! hide show

    24 Uses Of Carlos Bernard:

    Season 1: Tony was a pain in the ass here. He was one of Jack's nemesis, but in the later parts, he was great and much more helpful than before.

    Season 2: Tony was under Mason's orders. Tony was a whole lot better. He was engaged with Michelle, a new 24 character who seems to have a difficult past.

    Seson 3: WOW! Tony was shot in the neck! Apparently, he recovered but was less energetic. Once he was in the hospital, Michelle took his place as Head of CTU.

    Season 4: He saved Jack and Audrey at the last second and interrogated Dina Araz, helped Jack fake his death, supported in a lot of things, so I see that he is very useful.

    Season 5: USELESS.

    So, I have to say carlos Bernard is great, and I am looking forward for his S7 return!

    I will miss Tony on 24. Hope he gets his own show. hide show

    This guy related to the regular people out there. It wasn't just the good writing that made 24 a good show.. The good acting put it over the top and created a show that was not only exciting but somehow real. Tony had to compete with Jack and his MOCHO style. I like to see shows that create relationships that give you a sense of reality. You could tell that Jack and Tony had a good time acting out the parts that were given them. Tony's expressions got your attention. He made his part believable. Hope to see him on his own show.

Carlos Bernard is probably my favorite t.v character in HISTORY!!!!!!!!! i really hope they bring him back!!!!!!!!!! i love him!!!!!!!1

    I only know Carlos from his work on 24 as Tony Almeida, but I think that his role on that show will single handedly be the role that is able to define his career. Carlos was everything that 24 needed, a character that we could fall in love with without having to be in the field with Jack Bauer. Carlos played his character well, portaying a leader and someone that everyone in a building could look to for guidance. By having someone like that on the show, it allowed for smoother episodes as any scene without Jack Bauer could have the other fan favorite in Tony Almeida. His on screen connection with the actress that plays Ackio as well as Keifer was outstanding. The eventual death of Tony on the show was devastating and I think it was one of the biggest mistakes the writers could have made. Either way, Tony was one of the best things that could have ever happened to 24 and I think his time on the show was well spent.
