X-Files 2 Updates: Our Favorite FBI Assistant Director Is Back?
More X-Files 2 news has surfaced. Mitch Pileggi, aka Assistant Director Skinner is reportedly back for the latest sequel set to premier in July. We know that he’s been working on Stargate Atlantis, and even a few other TV shows such as Reaper, and (in voice only) on the animated series, The Batman. However, we don’t know yet how much of him we’ll see in the movie.
I think many just don’t care, and want to see Skinner back. Some of the best FBI drama of the series was the episodes that featured Skinner, and his run-ins with the Cigarette Man, Krycek, and the Lone Gunmen.
Assistant Director Skinner was always one of the most credible characters on the show. He’s a Vietnam War veteran and former Marine. His fights with Mulder were classic. In the movie, it’ll be interesting to see if he is still Mulder and Scully’s boss, and if he’ll be the voice of reason when things start to get hairy at the FBI. I always felt that if people like Skinner were really a part of the FBI, there was hope for the world yet.
