In 2001, Berkeley became a recurring guest star on 24 as George Mason, a head honcho for the Counter Terrorist Unit. His character, initially presumed evil by other characters and the fans, was revealed to be one of the good guys and became a main character in season 2, only to meet an untimely (but heroic) end. However, the show did give Berkeley the chance to meet his future wife Sarah Clarke, who played turncoat agent, and much-loved villainess Nina Myers for the first three seasons of the show.
