Cigarette-Smoking Man and Walter Skinner Returning to THE X-FILES
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are set to reprise their roles as Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in the upcoming X-Files limited series. But they won't be the only familiar faces that we see! Duchovny recently appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, and there he revealed that Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi), and the Cigarette-Smoking Man (William B. Davis) will be reprising their roles in the series, which is awesome.
It's interesting to hear that the Cigarette-Smoking Man is returning, especially since he was supposedly killed by helicopter rocket in the 2002 series finale of The X-Files. I guess that means he didn't really die. However, series creator Chris Carter has said in the past, "No one ever really dies on X-Files." So there ya go!
You can watch Duchovny talk about the series below. You can also read an interview in which he discusses the series coming back, and how Mulder was a terrible FBI agent right here.
