Carlos Bernard

Actor Carlos Bernard is best known for playing Counter Terrorist Unit agent Tony Almeida on the FOX television drama "24." On the show, agent Almeida faces danger at every turn, and has saved lives, escaped capture by assassins, and was critically injured in a car explosion. Not exactly what we would call living the good life.  In contrast, Bernard (previously named one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People) knows how to enjoy leisurely pleasures such as travel and good food, as we found out in our interview with the Chicago native.
