Peter Berkos’ career in Sound Editing began in live radio in the 1940’s on a small station in Hines, Illinois. He moved to Hollywood in 1950 and began creating sound effects for movies and television in a career that spanned over 35 years. In that time he worked on close to 300 motion pictures, and over 1,000 television shows.

His impressive list of important feature films are:

  • The Sting
  • Thoroughly Modern Millie
  • The Great Waldo Pepper
  • Sweet Charity
  • Slap Shot
  • Grey Lady Down
  • True Grit
  • The Hindenburg for which he won the Academy Award in 1975

His television credits include the popular series Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 25 Century, and 77 Sunset Strip.
