The Stars: Duchovny, holding English-lit degrees from Princeton and Yale, lands a recurring role as cross-dressing DEA agent Denise Bryson on the cult favorite TV series Twin Peaks like The X-Files, it is an unsettling show with supernatural components. The road to ‘The X-Files’ went through 'Twin Peaks.'

We’re not saying aliens are real, but let’s recall the line from the show: Trust no one. That’s part of why we’re so thrilled that The X-Files, which ran for nine seasons from 1993-2002, is returning as a miniseries, with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson and writer Chris Carter along for the ride.Īs we wait, here’s where Duchovny and Anderson’s lives have gone from The X-Files and beyond – and how they’ve dovetailed with some inexplicable goings-on in the skies. We’re more Mulders than Scullys, really spotting flashing objects in the night sky and deciding they’re scout craft for alien explorers, not just 747s on some flight path.
