Recorded in 2018, just ahead of the highly anticipated ten‑episode return of The X‑Files, this conversation with Mitch Pileggi is a heartfelt, insightful look at the legacy of one of television’s most influential genre series. Mitch reflects on the show’s cultural impact, the passionate fandom that has kept it alive for decades, and the evolution of Assistant Director Walter Skinner — a character who became far more than the stern bureaucrat he first appeared to be.
