    Loved that guy! Need to rewatch xfiles…

    I actually did rewatch it all a few years ago. Its quite good, but I see now as a older guy that David Duchovny actually wasnt very good playing Moulder. Didnt notice it as a kid but yeah, he is just reading lines with the same facial expression all the time. If you havent noticed, try rewatching with that in mind… :)

    Gillian Anderson is amazing though, really good actress and she was paid much less than Moulder, despite being able to actually act properly.

      That’s basically Duchovny’s whole range, as far as I can tell.

      I think he was in some non-X-Files related movie. I never saw it, but I remember the commercial for it. Duchovny’s character: “Are you here to kill me?” “Yes, are you worried?” “Just trying to plan my day.” All deadpan.

      I got so tired of X-Files stringing me along. It reminded me of some women that I tried to date. I gave up after the first movie (yeah, the one everyone forgets about) - no answers there, either!
