David Duchovny smoking man, As excitement surrounding "The X-Files" return to TV continues to escalate, the show's star, David Duchovny, revealed some of the other original cast members making a comeback.
"Gillian and I, we're original," he told David Letterman Tuesday about the obvious inclusion of him and co-star Gillian Anderson, who played FBI Special Agent Dana Scully throughout the nine seasons of the TV series and in both feature films.
Duchovny, who will reprise his role as Agent Fox Mulder, said, "Mitch Pileggi will come back, and the cigarette-smoking man — if that means anything to anyone — will be coming back."For fans, the Smoking Man's return means a whole lot. The villainous character played by William B. Davis is Agent Mulder's arch-nemesis, who has multiple aliases, including Cancer Man, CSM or C-Man in addition to the two previously mentioned.
His real name, C.G.B. Spender, was revealed in 1999 during season six, after being exposed to an alien artifact on the hit Fox sci-fi series. But fans continued calling him the Smoking Man since he was always shown chain-smoking Morley's, a fictional brand of cigarettes.
It may come as a bit of a surprise to fans that Smoking Man's coming back since he appeared to be killed by a helicopter rocket in the 2002 series finale.
"No one really dies on 'X-Files,'" the show's creator Chris Carter previously said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.Pileggi will return to play his role as FBI Assistant Director Walter Sergei Skinner for the show's six-episode event set to begin filming in Vancouver this summer for a 2016 release.
"It's a strange phenomenon that people still want to see those characters," Duchovny told Letterman. "But I'm grateful."
