| Birthplace | Toronto, Ontario |
| Date of birth | March 6, 1965 |
| Role on 24 | Erin Driscoll |
Alberta Watson played Erin Driscoll during Season 4 of 24.
Alberta Watson's name was the basis for the character Alberta Green in Season 1 of 24. Joel Surnow, who also created her previous series La Femme Nikita, wanted to put her in an arc but the network wanted somebody else. The role was renamed "Alberta Green" in her honour and given to Tamara Tunie.
In 2005, she finally joined the cast in the show's fourth season playing CTU Director Erin Driscoll. After just twelve episodes, however, Driscoll was written out of the series, reportedly at Watson's request due to the stressful work schedule.
