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