At last! An X-FILES book that tells you about ALL of the popular series’ incredible actors!
Just released from Citadel Press is an exhaustive 260-page book which spotlights over 100 familiar faces and supporting actors from one of the most watched TV series of the decade. While the storylines of THE X-FILES engage viewers, it is the actors who truly bring the show to life. And while David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are terrific, they don’t carry the series by themselves. They’re not the ones who swim through sewage in a rubber Flukeman outfit, or wear prosthetic limbs, or fight off rapes by invisible lovers, or get a charge from lightning bolt-throwing friends. And though they may be at the center of the conspiracies that swirl around them, they aren’t the faces behind the conspiracies.
Giving THE X-FILES its mysterious quality and eerie edge week after week are its wonderful character actors, many of whom look familiar but have not become household names - even though they’ve appeared in scores of movies and television shows and most viewers have seen them dozens of times.
Beyond Mulder and Scully takes a look at the men and women who make the show so watchable, with over 100 in-depth profiles, exhaustive credit lists, over 50 photos, and a whopping total of 31 actor interviews!
