Berger started his career in 1978. He provided the voice of Adult Chirin in Ringing Bell. In 1984, he voiced Odie, one of the pets of Jon Arbuckle along with lazy fat cat Garfield, in Garfield in the Rough.[1] Berger would continue voicing Odie in various Garfield media such as Garfield and Friends (in which he also voiced Orson Pig in the U.S. Acres segments), The Garfield Show, and many more. He provided additional voices in Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show, while he voiced Grimlock in The Transformers and its feature film, The Transformers: The Movie.[2]
Berger also voiced Cornfed in the animated sitcom series titled Duckman. In the Spyro video game series, he provided the voices of Ripto and Hunter the Cheetah from 1999 until 2002.

However, Berger did not reprise his role as Odie in the two live-action Garfield films, as Odie was played by an actual dog.
