Titus Welliver Looks Back on "The X-Files"

[JamesG]

“I got warned off The X-Files,” Titus Welliver remembers. When the sci-fi show was in its first season, the actor was a fan — but his then-manager wasn’t.

“He went, ‘Oh my. That show’s awful. Why would you want to do that? It’s not performing.’ He’s like, ‘It’ll be lucky if it sees another episode.’ And I said, ‘Well, I don’t care. I really like it, I think it’s smart, and I want to do it.’ Lo and behold, I got lucky and this role came up.”

Welliver played eco-terrorist Doug Spinney “and became longtime friends with David Duchovny,” he notes.
