CANADA V5N 3X5 Cast of Characters (alphabetically by actor's name) =================================================== Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) Dr. Dana Scully plays the skeptic, insisting that everything has a logical scientific explanation, although her exposure to the X-Files certainly has given her cause to question her own beliefs. She was assigned to work with Agent Mulder to keep an eye on him and determine if his activities are worth the time he spends working on them. She was recruited out of medical school and saw the FBI as a place to distinguish herself. Agent Fox "Spooky" Mulder (David Duchovny) Agent Fox Mulder is one of the FBI's greatest detectives with his photographic memory and his background as a psychologist which has helped him to profile many serial killers. His interest in the paranormal made him dig into the X-Files and also gave some higher officials in the bureau cause to believe him eccentric, reinforcing the nickname "Spooky" which he received in the academy. His fascination with extraterrestial life began in his childhood when his sister disappeared - Fox claims she was abducted by aliens. Other Important Players ======================= Assistant Director Walter S. Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) One of the heads of the FBI who seems to have it in for Mulder and the X-Files division and is searching for a way to be rid of them. "Smoking Man" (William B. Davis) A quiet man of whom little is known, but he does seem to hold a position of power even though much of his job entails storing top secret items in the Pentagon. (Note: The name "Smoking Man" was taken from the credits following "Tooms.") "Deep Throat" (Jerry Hardin) This mysterious and influential man first appeared to warn Mulder about Ellens Air Force Base. He has provided Mulder with a lot of classified information, and in doing so, places his own life in danger. His reasons for helping Mulder are his own, but he claims that it is a form of penitence. (Note: The name "Deep Throat" was given to him by the writers and was first spoken aloud in "The Erlenmeyer Flask.")
