The X-Files - Annabeth Gish, Mitch Pileggi, Robert Patrick & William B. Davis Eyed To Return

28 Mar 2015

Share on Reddit


Thanks to Ricky, Maria Scot and Hank for the heads up.

Robert Patrick and Annabeth Gish were main cast members for the final two seasons, playing the parts of Special Agent John Doggett and Special Agent Monica Reyes, respectively. While Mitch Pileggi, of course, played FBI Assistant Director Skinner from the closing episodes of the first season onwards.

While sources have stated that the trio are being eyed to reprise their roles, it should be stressed that none of them have deals in place as of yet. In fact, studio insiders tell me that there are no deals in place for anyone outside of Chris Carter, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny. The deal making process will be getting underway in the days and weeks ahead, with some of the actors thus far only receiving feelers to see if they would be available.

Sources have indicated that Robert Patrick, for instance, would perhaps appear in a limited number of episodes if he agreed to return, in part because of his contractual obligations to CBS and their drama series Scorpion.

In addition, William B. Davis, well known for his role as CGB Spender/Cigarette Smoking Man, is also being lined up to appear in the revival.

    YES for Doggett and Reyes, I never understood why in the second movie they had Xhibit and that actress I don't know her name when they could have easily put Doggett and Reyes in the movie, that always bothered me so they better come back for at least a couple episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I absolutely love Doggett and Reyes so just an appearance or two would be fine with me! And yes to everyone else too.

  9. I'm honestly geeking out over seeing the Cigarette Smoking Man again. I don't know why.

  11. I loved Monica Reyes and I really hope they get her back.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Also this will be a really crowded 6 episodes... hope they can extend it by two at least.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Cool news about Skinner, he's my favorite character. I liked Dogget and Reyes but I understand that Robert Patrick has other obligations although I hope they can work something out.

    Any word on Krycek/Nicholas Lea? I don't remember his fate, did he in fact die on the show?

    So was CSM, so why is he back?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I don't remember either dying, I only looked up Krycek because he wasn't mentioned.

    ReplyDelete
  16. They weren't too popular with fans (due to obvious reasons, replacing the leads is always a though job but being objective: they perfectly filled the void)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Annabeth and Robert need to come back for sure! I LOVED Doggett and Reyes together. And fans never got closure with them. Did they officially get together? Everything was left so ambiguous! I adore these two actors and characters.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Not true. Many fans loved Doggett/Reyes together and were rooting for a romance for them. Sure, fans missed Mulder when David left the show. But Doggett/Reyes were also popular with the fans...

    ReplyDelete
  19. Granted I didn't interact with the fanbase at all, especially since I wasn't even born when the show premiered but the way I was told by other former fans people didn't cope with change too well.


    But good to hear that they're popular with the fandom, I liked both characters when bingewatching the show

    ReplyDelete
  20. ROBERT PATRICK CAN'T LEAVE SCORPION!!!!!! so it BETTER be a LIMITED amount!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. oh Robert Patrick won't have any conflict with filming?

    ReplyDelete
  22. There will always be people who don't like change. :) But surprisingly in this case, both characters were well received by lots of fans. I think due to both actors being talented. And also their characters were interesting and unique.


    Season 9 is actually one of my favorites. I especially loved the Doggett/Reyes centric episodes...and there were a good amount. Like when she was in a car accident and stuck in limbo...it was quite a powerful episode. Or when he was shot in an alternative universe...certain episodes really showed their connection and love. And I enjoyed the whole season a lot.

  23. It will only be 6 episodes for X-Files. Robert can easily be in those episodes. Plus, Scorpion cast will finish filming early this week.

    ReplyDelete
  24. If filming takes place in April - early July, then no. :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. awesome, i can relax now LOL

    ReplyDelete
  26. 6? wow, that's short but awesome that it won't interfere with Scorpion

    ReplyDelete
  27. True Scorpion season 2 will start filming in late July/August, and X-Files is said to film summer, so probaly earlier around June.

    I'm sure he will be back even for one episode, or two episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Awesome, true he can film the show, but I think Doggett will appear in one to two episodes at least, so they can certainly work it in.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I love the characters, and liked them. The only reason people hated them because they thought they were replacing mulder and scully.

    Whats the big deal in having allies, in this new show, they can appear and have screentime like skinner, but not be a major focus. Nothing wrong with that.

    ReplyDelete
  30. why DID they switch the leads though, that's a risk they took by not having their original viewers leave them, i know I would've left

    ReplyDelete
  31. As much as i love X-Files once upon a time, can someone remind me what the point of this is? I might be the minority on this, but i would've liked it if they did this with another show.

    ReplyDelete
  32. CJM dies in the series finale when a missile hits the Mexican rock he'd been living in. And I remember Krycek dying in I think S8. In a parking garage. Skinner was there. Man, it sure has been awhile!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh lordy, mac! So young! And here I was already in college in its final years. I do recall some online resentment for those characters though. I always liked them. Probably helps that I was already a fan of both actors.

    I miss Scully and Mulder, so there's that. But I don't need to see Doggett or Reyes, nor the CSM for that matter. He died in the finale, so they should leave him that way.
    What I'm not so sure about is what I want them to do story-wise, in one way I'd love for them to complete the invasion storyline and set the show in 2012, but the whole Alien/Colonists-plot got so overly complicated and was so over the place that it might actually be better to not try and tie it together with the previous mythology. 6 standalone cases might be really cool, just to see the whole dynamic of Scully, Mulder and Skinner again, but it would be weird to ignore E.T. life and UFO's all together. Maybe a series of cases indirectly linked to the colonists but with ignoring all the unnecessary bagage (hybrids and stuff)?

    Oh yes, and they should really leave Samantha Mulder out of this, her abduction/cloning/death story was (while clumsily) tied up in the show and it was stupid to have Mulder still obsessed over it in I Want To Believe. The episode where he said goodbye to her ghostlike spirit was reachng, but it gave him closure.

    i can't believe this is happening , excited is an understatement for the feelings i have .

    ReplyDelete
  36. Its actually all due to netflicks. I read the only reason is back is because of that deal.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I agree, I so wanted her to be alive, but since shes dead, I accepted it.

    She should stay dead, no more clones of her. But yes she can be mentioned.

    ReplyDelete
  38. My favorite character was TCS so YES to William B. Davis and I think Skinner is a must.


    I read that they won't use tie-ins to Season 10 comics, but Carter said nothing about the upcoming Season 11, which I believe there is an in between special issue featuring Reyes and Doggit?! I'm surprised they are interested in bringing those two back, because I remember fans not liking them very much, but I think it would be fun to catch up with them again...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Yes, but there is a silhouette of a 'smoking man' featured in a grave yard scene of Season 10 (Cannon Comic). Most speculate that he was revived somehow...

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ugh. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ok. Not a fan of when comics become canon tbh. It's not a medium I follow.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Well Season 10 is not suppose to tie into this mini-series, so it's not like anyone has to worry about it, nor does it explain CSM's possible revival (although clones seem a likely scenario). I just brought it up, in case anyone cared about his former existence.
