This year, Smith starred opposite Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ed Harris in "Radio," reuniting Riley with director Mike Tollin, who directed him in his first television pilot. Smith’s character (Johnny) is the star athlete in the high school whose father tries to turn the town against Cuba’s character (Radio.) Smith’s character changes his hostile feelings toward Radio and champions him to succeed and win the support of the community.

He starred as 'Kyle Singer,' who was targeted by Jack Bauer (Sutherland) and C.T.U. for potentially transporting a deadly virus from a terrorist group, threatening the city of Los Angeles with a potential outbreak. Smith starred in the first six episodes of this season.
