At least in TV terms, I think that was revolutionary, and it strengthened our performances because it was something Gillian and I could both sink our teeth into.”Īnderson agrees, but adds that there’s another, simpler component to her onscreen chemistry with Duchovny, as well as the rest of the cast. Mulder was kind of this guy being instinctual, emotional, irrational, while Gillian-Scully-was rational and stoic. “But, you know, I do think there's also something to the fact that we kind of flip-flopped the gender roles early on, before it was ‘smart,’ or whatever, to do. “There is a lot of soul there,” Duchovny says, clearly in agreement with Carter. “I tell people all the time, it's a little bit of a miracle that David and Gillian have so much chemistry, because when we cast them as individual actors we couldn’t put them in a room together and simply say, ‘Chemistry.’ We just hoped that it would work, and remarkably it did from the moment I first saw them on the first day of shooting in Vancouver in 1993. ![]() “There’s a lot of soul at the heart of The X-Files, and that wouldn't be there without David and Gillian,” Carter says. “There’s a lot of soul at the heart of The X-Files, and that wouldn't be there without David and Gillian,” creator Chris Carter says.

In what creator Chris Carter (and many other TV writers and critics) calls the Golden Age of Television, the series was able to reboot in a six-episode story arch that avoided the drag of the old-school 24-episode season while garnering solid reviews and getting bang-up ratings in the process.
