Trivia

William B. Davis (the cigarette-smoking man) is actually a non-smoker in real-life. He was able to remain that way by using herbal cigarettes on the set.

The X-Files was one of the first TV shows to be promoted online by listing plot and other information for upcoming episodes.

If you'd like to see the X-Files creator, Chris Carter, you're in luck! He actually appeared a couple of times on the show although his parts were uncredited. He's an FBI Agent in the final episode of season 2 titled, "Anasazi". He also appears as a member of the audience in the 19th episode of the seventh season titled, "Hollywoood, A.D."

There were more cast members in the series finale episodes' opening sequences than there were in any other episode. David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Annabeth Gish, Robert Patrick, and Mitch Pileggi all appeared for a total of five!

The X-Files was ranked the #2 best Cult Show ever in the May 30, 2004 issue of TV Guide magazine!

During the X-Files final season, the opening credits included a list of "FBI Contacts, Witnesses, and Contributors." Those names actually came from the names of people who posted messages on the official X-Files message board. In order to use as many as possible, the names were changed for each episode! There were also some other names that were anagrams of the show's characters' names.

Episode #64, "Piper Maru", got its name from Gillian Anderson's daughter, Piper. In episode #103, "Christmas Carol", the young Dana Scully character was played by Gillian's real-life little sister, "Zoe Anderson".
