You can’t spell Xander Berkeley without X. Unfortunately, the actor’s films are without X ratings too. Of course, that doesn’t mean Xander didn’t flash a little flesh in his career. After making his movie debut in Mommie Dearest (1981), the Brooklyn native bared his chest in the horror flick Deadly Dreams (1988). Nothing frightening about that! In fact, the chiller diller should have been called Wet Dreams instead! Mr. Berkeley also enjoyed stints on several small screen series, from The A-Team (1983-1984) to The X-Files (1993) with a host of shows (Being Human, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, ER, Law & Order, M*A*S*H, Moonlighting) in between. Fans will know the boob tube babe as George Mason on 24 (2001-2003); Percy Rose on Nikita (2010-2012); Sheriff Thomas McAllister on The Mentalist (2008-2013); Magistrate Hale on Salem (2014-2015); and Gregory on The Walking Dead (2016-2018). Meanwhile, on the big screen, Xander acted alongside John Cusack in Tapeheads (1988) and The Grifters (1990); and Gary Oldman in Sid and Nancy (1986) and Air Force One (1997). Through the years, Xander also appeared in The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) with Michelle Pfeiffer; Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) with Arnold Schwarzenegger; Heat (1995) with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro; Barb Wire (1996) with Pamela Anderson; Gattaca (1997) with Jude Law; Shanghai Noon (2000) with Jackie Chan; North Country with Charlize Theron; Taken (2008) with Liam Neeson; Kick-Ass (2010) with Nicolas Cage; and Lockdown (2022) with John Savage. Needless to say, Xander has got a big, wide… range!
