Xander Berkeley

...however, Percy is a dumb name for the leader of a covert ops group. Really... Percy? Who could possibly take a name like that seriously when the are A) a terrorist, B) a senator funding a counter-terrorist organization, or C) a person working under him? Although Xander Berkeley is a better actor than Maggie Q, his dumb name in the show really prevents him from shining in the role. I mean, I literally giggle every time someone says his name. How am I supposed to enjoy a show with a character who is supposed to be scary and ominous in his evilness when I keep thinking that the consequences for crossing him are that he will over sugar your tea?



Shane West bad.

Another fine example showing how someone can step into a powerful role and make it their own regardless of what the script may tell them that they have to say. I think Xander is one of the best actors on 24 when it came to showing his emotions with hand gestures. Caughing and pretending to be infected with Radiation was a tough job for someone who obviously is suffering from no such think but Xander reached into the soul of his character and pulled off a great performace. I thought his death episode was one of the greatets episodes of all time and I loved the way he pulled everything together with his acting right until the very end. George Mason joins the very big list of amazing actors who I would love to see back on the show, but can't.

The only movie with Xander Berkeley I have ever seen is Air Force One. I love how he does Agent Gibbs. I also think that he is perfect in doing people like traitors. I kind of find it sad that such an awesome character like Agent Gibbs was killed so horribly at the end of Air Force One, but that is what the bad guys get.
