TV Gillian Anderson The X-Files David Duchovny Image Safe Chris Carter about 11 months ago by Joey Paur As you know, The X-Files star Gillian Anderson has been very vocal about not returning to play Agent Scully in The X-Files after the eleventh season, which was released in 2018. Inside Gillian Anderson’s feud with X-Files co-star David Duchovny The pair are now firm friends, we’re glad to say! The X-Files follows the careers and personal lives of FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). Special Agent Mulder is a talented profiler , conspiracy theorist , and an ardent supernaturalist . David William Duchovny /dʊˈkʌvni/ (born August 7, 1960) is an American actor, writer, producer, director, novelist, and singer-songwriter. He is known for playing FBI agent Fox Mulder on the television series The X-Files and writer Hank Moody on the television series Californication, both of which have earned him Golden Globe awards. Early life. Gillian Anderson, who played agent Dana Scully on the "The X-Files" snapped a selfie with her David Duchovny, who played agent Fox Mulder on the hit show. Not only that, but she also introduced Contents. Gillian Anderson/David Duchovny, also known by the Portmanteau Gillovny, is the RPF pairing of actors and writers Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny. For some fans, it revolves about shipping the two actors together while for others the term represents the deep rooted, 25+ year friendship of the two The X-Files actors. . | So remember back in April when award-winning actor & producer Gillian Anderson (The Crown, Sex Education) was asked during a profile interview what it would take for her to return as FBI Agent Dr. Dana Scully if there was to be another revival of The X-Files (like in 2016 and 2018)? "It just feels like such an old idea. I've done it, I did it for so many years, and it also ended on such an unfortunate note," Anderson explained, in reference to the reveal that Scully was pregnant. "In order to even begin to have that conversation [about another season] there would need to be a whole new set of writers and the baton would need to be handed on for it to feel like it was new and progressive. So yeah, it's very much in the past." During an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment in support of his new novel The Reservoir, Anderson's co-star David Duchovny (FBI Agent Fox Mulder) is weighing in on Anderson's comments and sharing his thoughts on another revival. THE X-FILES ('The X-Files' image courtesy of 20th Century Studios) "No, that was the first I'd heard of it [Anderson's comments]. Personally, I don't like to air creative grievances like that in public, so I was surprised to see it actually" Duchovny said of Anderson's comments expressing her displeasure with how her character was handled. As for his interest in a return, the actor, writer & director is always willing to keep the door open. "I thought the first seven years were enough! But I'm always up for more, clearly," Duchovny said. "Someone sent me a clip of Joel McHale from the 2016 episodes we did, and it's a spot-on description of where we're at six years later. I don't think ['The X-Files' creator] Chris Carter gets enough credit for being [prescient]. Forget about the ins and outs of plots and who gets pregnant or who gets shot. I mean, every show turns into a soap opera, so you have limited options. People are going to die or get pregnant or go to prison, right? Or become president." He continued, "I think like it's a little bit in the weeds to worry about characters' fates when you realize that Chris [Carter] somehow made a show in 1993, and again in 2016, that predicted what 2022 would be like. If he wanted to do more, I'd certainly listen to him. I'd say, 'What have you got?' Because I want to know the future, too, you know what I mean? And not denigrating Gillian's [Anderson] feelings about Scully being pregnant or the character. I certainly had misgivings about my character throughout the run. It's in the nature of a long-running thing. But to take the long view, what that show is able to embrace thematically is really the key to its longevity, and if we were to do it again, it's just a question of: 'What have we got to say?"
