David William Duchovny (pronounced doo-KUHV'-nee), 6'1" tall, 170 pounds, was born August 7, 1960 (Sun in Leo, Moon in Aquarius) as second of three children in New York City. His parents, Russian-Jewish father Amram (a publicist for the American Jewish Committee) and Scottish mother Margaret (an elementary school teacher) divorced when in 1972, when he was eleven. Then he and his siblings were primarily raised by their mother. His father moved to Boston after the divorce and now lives in Paris. He has an older brother, Daniel, and a younger sister, Laurie. He was named David after his father's favorite sculpture, Michaelangelo's David. His mother provided his middle name, William, as a tribute to her father. His surname is derived from the Russian word meaning 'spiritual'. David's father abandoned the 'h' from his name because people used to mispronounce Duchovny, making it rhyme with 'anchovy'.
In 1973, Duchovny won a scholarship to the prestigious Collegiate Prep School in Manhattan, where his classmates included John F. Kennedy Jr. and actor Jason Beghe. Duchovny earned his undergraduate degree from Princeton University (where he played one season as shooting guard on the school's basketball team) and a masters degree in English literature from Yale University, where he prepared for a teaching career in the Ph.D. program. While working on his thesis in 1987, Duchovny strayed from the academic path to pursue a full-time acting career. He began to commute twice a week to New York to study acting as a background to screenwriting. He performed on stage and in the coffeehouses of Manhattan's Lower East Side, making his first professional appearance in a Lowenbrau beer commercial which required him to toss a pretzel in the air, and catch it in his mouth. He has also done voiceovers for Labatt's beer and a New York phone company. He appeared in Ford Mondeo commercial, as well as in Nokia telephones commercials. On stage, he has appeared in such plays as "The Copulating Machine of Venice", "California" and "Green Cockatoo".
He made his feature film debut in "Working Girl" in a minor role. Eventually, he relocated to Los Angeles where he tried his hand at television. He briefly appeared on the series Twin Peaks, in which he gave a notable performance in his memorable role as the transvestite detective Dennis/Denise Bryson. In 1991, he landed his first two leading roles in the independent films "Julia Has Two Lovers" and "The Rapture". Shortly after, he took supporting roles in the more credible films "Ruby" and "Chaplin". In 1993, he was cast opposite up-and-coming actors Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis in the thriller "Kalifornia".
Duchovny maintained moderate success in films, but his TV appearances were what elevated him to stardom. His recurring role as the love-lorn narrator on Showtime’s anthology "Red Shoe Diaries" established him as a sex symbol.
In 1993, he reluctantly accepted the part of cynical agent Fox Mulder on "The X-Files". Ironically, it turned out to be his wisest career move to date. The paranormal drama teamed Duchovny with actress Gillian Anderson. Despite initial low ratings, the show erupted into a phenomenon with acclaim from critics and fans alike. Duchovny's performance earned him a 1997 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series. In the eight season, he lessened his appearances and at the end of the season, he left the show for good. Duchovny has also guest-hosted "Saturday Night Live" and guest-starred on the critically acclaimed series "The Larry Sanders Show". Most recently Duchovny starred in the romantic comedy Return to Me, opposite Minnie Driver and Carroll O'Connor. Rapidly emerging as one of the most highly-acclaimed young actors in Hollywood, Duchovny brings a fierce intellect, a quiet intensity and an acerbic wit to his roles on both the small screen and the silver screen.
He resides in Malibu, California. On May 6, 1997, he married a sitcom actress Téa Leoni (pronounced TAY'-ah lee-OH'-nee) ("The Naked Truth", "Cheers", "Deep Impact", "Hollywood Ending", "Jurassic Park III") in New York City. Their first baby (a girl) named Madelaine West was born on April 24, 1999 in Los Angeles. She weighed 7 pounds, 5 ounces (3.3 kg) and was 20 1/2 inches (50.1 cm) long at birth. Their second baby (a boy) named Kyd Miller Duchovny was born on June 15, 2002. He weighed 7 pounds, 10 ounces. His name comes from 16th-century English playwright Thomas Kyd, and Miller was Duchovny's mother's maiden name. When not working on The X-Files he spends his free time playing basketball, practising yoga and reading poetry in local clubs. He has a passion for rock music and the seventies, loud techno music, rap, and Lionel Hampton's jazz. He has a dog, Blue, a descendant of the Border Collie that appeared in the episode "Ice", which is named after the Bob Dylan song, "Tangled Up In Blue". Blue appears in David's episode "Hollywood A.D.". Téa's dog's name is called George.
His favorite episodes are "Duane Barry" and "One Breath". His favorite X-Files writers are Glen Morgan & James Wong, Darin Morgan and Vince Gilligan.

Gillian (pronounced jill'-ee-an) Leigh Anderson stars as Special Agent Dana Scully, the exceptionally rational agent who, trained as a medical doctor, is a true believer in the power of science to explain what at often times seems unexplainable. Playing ying to her partner Fox Mulder's yang, Scully refuses to cede to his hypotheses that there exists in the universe anybody or anything that does not conform to the laws of nature and the rules of science -- alien beings and human anomalies included. For her performance on The X-Files, Anderson has earned the respect of television fans and critics alike who have cited her character's intelligence, wit and integrity as veritable breakthroughs in television drama. In May of 1995, Movieline dubbed her "a better actress than most of the women you see in movies". Anderson received the 1996 SAG Award for Outstanding Actress in a Television Drama, an honor voted on byher fellow professional actors. She also received a 1996 Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama.
Prior to her role on The X-Files, Anderson was an award-winning off-Broadway actress, recipient of a Theatre World Award for her performance in Alan Ayckborne's "Absent Friends" at the Manhattan Theater Club, and co-star in Christopher Hampton's "The Philanthropist" at the Long Wharf Theater in New York.
Anderson, 5' 2" tall, smallish build, auburn hair, hazel eyes, was born August 9, 1968 (Sun in Leo, Moon in Pisces) in Chicago, Illinois, to Ed and Rosemary Anderson and is one of three children. She lived in Puerto Rico and moved to London, England with her family when she was two years old. When she turned 11, her family moved back to the United States and settled in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She attended Fountain Elementary and then City High School. There she began acting in a community theater, where she developed a passion for the stage. After graduating in 1986 she studied with the National Theater of Great Britain at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, then she moved to Chicago and attended the Goodman Theater School at DePaul University (a major theater conservatory), in Chicago, IL where she obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. While attending DePaul Univeristy, she also studied at the summer program at the National Theater of Great Britain at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. When she moved to Vancouver, she lived in Steven Williams' house (Mr. X).
Gillian is separated from former X-Files director Clyde Klotz and has a daughter Piper Maru, born on September 25, 1994 (8 lb. 10 oz.). She and her family reside in Vancouver.
Although Gillian was pregnant during the latter part of first season and the early part of second season, her condition was not reflected in the show's scripts. Anderson appeared in the first six episodes of second season and was written purposely out of the seventh. She returned in the eighth episode, "One Breath". The production company filmed "creatively" to disguise the pregnancy (you will not see any shots of her below the chest in the first six episodes of Season 2, except "Ascension", where the shown belly is her own).
She is not related in any way to Jo Anderson who appeared as Diana in the television show Beauty and the Beast. Nor is she the woman salesperson that appears in the Saturn commercials (that woman's name is Katie Brown -- she's not an actress).
Gillian had also done a spoken word dance single with the group Hal in an opening track "Extremis" on a Virgin Records 2CD compilation "Future: A Journey Through The Electronic Underground".

There will be no romance between Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.
Everyone readily admits that there is some attraction, a "sexual tension", between the characters. However, neither series creator Chris Carter, nor actors David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, nor many X-Philes, want a full-blown romance to develop.
Carter "firmly believes that a series can be 'ruined' if the characters cross the boundaries of sexual tension". [Starlog #201, April 1994] He has also confirmed that Scully and Mulder will not have a romance in almost every online conference and interview that he has had. In the AOL conference in March, when asked when the two characters would get together, Carter replied, "When Hell freezes over." Carter continues to reiterate his opinion publicly at the various Creation X-Files conventions.
Anderson [Starlog Platinum #2] says, "I don't want that to happen, David doesn't want that to happen, [Chris Carter] I don't think wants that to happen. The show's not about intimacy between us; it would be a huge mistake to make it about that. Both of our characters are single-minded about our work and respectful enough not to complicate it in any way. We [eventually] warm up to each other, and there are times when there's more sexual tension than others, but it's not going to be a romantic relationship."
Duchovny's viewpoint [Starlog #202, May 1994]: "Having a friendship and a professional working relationship with a woman is much more interesting... It's very easy to just jump into bed. That doesn't take much imagination."

So: don't even think about it!

(After few occasions of resolved tension, this article is more than funny :)

Mitch Pileggi (pronounced "Puh-legdy" with emphasis on the second syllable) was born on April 5th 1952 in Portland, Oregon and grew up in various locations all over the U.S. and the world. He now lives in Valencia, Calif. He is 6'2". He was literally raised all over the world, as his father Vito was a subcontractor for the Department of Defense. Hence, Pileggi attended Fullerton College; school in Turkey; the University of Maryland in Munich, Germany; and the University of Texas at Austin. Mitch recently married Arlene Rempel, 30, who is Gillian Anderson's stand-in on The X-Files. She also appeared as Skinner's secretary. His hobbies include working out, reading and roller-blading. His favorite authors include Anne Rice, Stephen King, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Kurt Vonnegut and Michael Crichton.
After working briefly with the Department of Defense, Pileggi got involved with regional theater in Austin, Texas, performing in Jesus Christ Superstar, Lone Star and Bent. After landing a few small parts on television, Pileggi made the move to Los Angeles.
Mitch Pileggi on Walter S. Skinner:
"Skinner is walking a fence", the actor admits. "He wants to help Mulder when he can, but he has to be careful of his own back, especially with the 'smoking man.' It's funny, but the guy who plays him [William B. Davis] doesn't actually smoke, and I do. In one episode when he's in Skinner's office, there's a sign on the desk saying NO SMOKING."
While he enjoys playing Skinner, Pileggi sometimes wishes for a little more action, especially out in the field. "I keep on saying, 'Get me out of the office,'" he reveals, "They've built me a great set, but get me out. Usually, all of my stuff is hot in that office and I do my scenes in one or two days. Then I come back to Los Angeles or just hang out in Vancouver for awhile. I don't know how realistic it is to have a director get out in the field, but I'd like to have my own encounters, maybe with some monster besides the 'smoking man.'"

William Bruce Davis was born on January 13, 1938 in Toronto, where he also started his carrier in child-roles. His acting career began in Toronto when he was just 11 years old in a summer stock festival in Ontario, Canada. He followed with roles on stage and radio before continuing his education at the University of Toronto, where he earned a BA in Philosophy. He trained in England at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, worked as a freelance director in British repertory theaters and ran the Dundee Repertory Theatre in Scotland.

In 1965, Davis returned to Canada, where he became Artistic Director of The English Acting Program at Canada's National Theatre School. He now serves as director at The William B. Davis Centre for Actor's Study in Vancouver, British Columbia, and is the former Artistic Director of both the National Theatre School and the Vancouver Playhouse Acting School.

Steven Williams was born on January 4th in Memphis, Tennessee. At age 9 he moved to Chicago, Illinois with his mother where his early years were filled with many challenges. During the height of the Vietnam war, Steven was drafted to serve in the US Army. After serving in the army, Steven returned to Chicago and worked as a postman. The Chicago winters are very cold so he went to work in the garment district selling women's clothing and shoes. He was also modelling. Later in his career, Steven had the opportunity to co-star with Chuck Norris in Missing In Action II, which focuses on the MIAs of the Vietnam War. One of the roles he is most remembered for is that of the compassionate Captain Adam Fuller from the hit TV series 21 Jump Street. Jump Street has been praised by many youth organizations for responsibly addressing the social issues of the time and is still currently in syndication in over 60 countries.
Steven appears on The X-Files as the menacing Mr. X. X's character is one surrounded by mystery and mayhem, with his motives and background unknown. Steven took this undefined character and developed it into one of the most captivating recurring roles on the show. Since the show's creators have left his character's background a mystery, Steven was left to create one of his own. "His first name is Leroy which is why they call him X! There is more but if I told you I would have to kill you! But seriously, a character's development is a combination of a lot of different variables. If the script is well written and the role well defined, I can interpret what the writer's vision is for the character. If it is not well defined and something is missing than I put something together in my head that is a drawing point for the character." In addition to Steven's recurring role as X, he is also starring in a new series, LA Heat. In LA Heat, Steven plays August Brooks, a cop and loving family man.
When Steven isn't acting, he dedicates much of his time to youth-oriented programs. The Make-A-Wish Foundation, Alta Bates Hospital, and The Children's Cancer Center are just a few of the organizations Steven dedicates his time.

Ivan Simon Cary Elwes (pronounced El-ways) joined the cast on the beginning of season nine in the role of Assistant Director Brad Follmer. Boyishly handsome actor who has established his versatility in a number of comedic and dramatic roles. Born on October 26th, 1962 in London into a family of painters (he is the third son born to Interior Designer Tessa Kennedy and the late Portrait Painter Dominic Elwes), Elwes left England (where he attended Harrow) to study actiong at Sarah Lawrence College in New York; after gaining stage experience in off-Broadway plays, he returned to England and made his film debut in "Another Country" (1984). Elwes costarred in the historical drama "Lady Jane" (1985), and then made his first big impression playing for laughs as the farm boy Westley in the hit "The Princess Bride" (1987). Since then, he has been seen as Tom Cruise's racing competitor in "Days of Thunder" (1990), Matthew Broderick's gallant second-incommand in "Glory" (1989), the absurdly ego-ridden fighter pilot in "Hot Shots!" (1991), and the helpless fiancé of ill-fated Lucy (Sadie Frost) in "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992).

Lucy was born Lucille Frances Ryan on March 29, 1968, in Mount Albert, Auckland, New Zealand; she was the 5th of 7 children, of Frank and Julie Ryan. Lucy enjoyed acting and appeared in many plays in high school. Later, she attended Auckland University and studied German, Italian and French for a year. As many young people from New Zealand do, she then headed for her overseas experience. Lucy left college and headed for Europe where she and her boyfriend, Garth Lawless, traveled around Switzerland and Germany. Then Lucy and Garth headed to Australia; they found work with a gold mining company outside of Kalgoorlie, about 500 miles from Perth. They were married in Australia in 1988, and then returned to New Zealand where Lucy later had a daughter, Daisy (1993). Lucy was chosen Mrs. New Zealand in 1989. She did a "really bad, cheesy commercial for travel" which led to her first real acting job in a New Zealand comedy troupe show called "Funny Business." Later, Lucy landed the job as co-host for Air New Zealand Holiday, a travel magazine. Lucy worked in numerous television and film productions. Finally, she got her breakout role of Lysia in "Hercules and the Amazon Women" (1994). Shortly thereafter, the producers needed someone to play Xena. Lucy, tall (5' 10-1/2"), athletic, with brown hair and blue eyes, was perfect for the part. But there was a snag: at first, the producers did not want Lucy for the part of Xena-- after all, she had played a different character already. So, Lucy dyed her light hair a dark brown, making her look a bit different, and history was about to be made! Lucy, in her leather outfit and armed with her mighty Chakram, was thus cast in her signature roll of Xena in 3 episodes of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" (1995)-- "The Warrior Princess"; "The Gauntlet" and "The Unchained Heart"-- that would lead to her own spin-off series, "Xena: Warrior Princess" (1995). Although "Xena" immediately got a huge fan following in America, ironically "Xena" was not being shown in her native New Zealand, so Lucy did not achieve her tremendous popularity in her homeland until a bit later. In October 1996, Lucy came to America to be on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno". She was to do a publicity stunt, making a grand entrance by riding a horse in the parking lot. The horse tripped on the cement, Lucy fell and broke her pelvis. (Ironically, for the entire 6-year run of "Xena," Lucy-- doing her own stunts and riding horses-- never received a serious injury.) After convalescence and another season of "Xena," Lucy returned to America for another visit; she made her Broadway debut playing Betty Rizzo in "Grease" from September to October, 1997. In 1997, she was chosen by "People" magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World. She also (divorced from Garth in 1995) became engaged to "Xena" executive producer Robert G. Tapert at that time. They married in Santa Monica, California on March 28, 1998. On October 16, 1999, they had a son, Julius Robert Bay Tapert, born in New Zealand. "Xena" has been canceled after a 6-year run.

In 1991, she studied drama at the William Davis Center for Actors Study, under William B. Davis, also known as Cigarette-Smoking Man. She joined "The X-Files" in the first episode of ninth season, however didn't become a recurring character.
