Peter Berkos was a sound effects editor for the Original Series.

Berkos has a long career in the sound effects field of over 35 years, 300 motion pictures, and over 1,000 television shows. He got his start working as a live radio sound effects man in the 1940s. Inspired by Dore Schary’s book "Portrait of a Movie," a book in which sound editing was described as "the place where the creative process begins," Berkos' apprenticeship at Universal Studios was a fruitful one.

In addition to Battlestar, Berkos' numerous film and TV credits include

• The Sting
• The Great Waldo Pepper
• Slap Shot
• Airport
• The Hindenberg
• 77 Sunset Strip

Berkos is semi-retired, but remains active in teaching. Berkos was awarded a lifetime achievement Oscar in 2004 for his outstanding career in sound editing.
