The quickly approachingX-Filesrevival doesnt belong in the summer.
Chris was sitting here on a sunny afternoon saying I hope its a rainy summer, Davis says.
It really belongs in the gloomy depths of the fall and the rainy winter.
The relationship between Davis character and Carters brainchild was never supposed to be so strong.
The longtime stage and screen actor and director was cast inThe X-Filespilot in a cigarette-smoking, non-speaking role.
It took a few seasons, but the character eventually blossomed into a linchpin of the series mythology.
The character I played was really iconic in a way, Davis says.
It was very fun to play, just great fun to do.
Small doses of the character did wonders.
Each drag of a cigarette could evoke as much emotion as a line of dialogue.
Maybe its in his blood.
Davis never lost his knack to command the attention of a room.
He still teaches at the school he founded, The William Davis Centre for Actors Study in Vancouver.
Hes also kept busy with a recurring role in the Canadian sci-fi seriesContinuum.
As an actor its good for me, its good for my career and its stimulating, Davis says.
Chris is really eager to tell his stories again, Davis says.
Theres a sense that they never really finished the story and theres more to tell.
I see fans all the time who were way too young to watch it in the 90s.
It seems like its going to be a somewhat different take than the finale left us in.
What is a logical thing to want to do is to act.
Stardom is so much an accident.
This is a terrific story.
She was fairly unknown and inexperienced when we startedThe X-Files.
After she started to do a whole range of work.
Would she ever have had a chance to do that work if she wasnt in theX-Files?
Probably not, but she had the skill, ability and talent to take advantage of that.
Its a degree of luck.
How many actors were they looking at forThe X-Files?
It was lucky that she got on the show and lucky that it became a hit.
From there, shes done some great work.
Its like coming home.
This is where the show belongs.
