Mitch Pileggi was born in Portland Oregon on April 5, 1952. He was raised in Los Angeles, Austin, and Turkey. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. He moved so much because his father was in the army. Pileggi started by playing small parts on television then moved to Los Angeles.

From 1978 to 1983 he was married to Debbie Andrews. They are now devorced.

On the set of The X-Files he met his future wife Arlene Warren. She is Gillian Anderson's double. Especially, while she was pregnent. Now Arlene is in many episodes as "Skinners Assistant." They were married in 1996 and they had their first child in May 1998.


Mitch enjoys playing the guitar, working out, rollerblading, and he golfs with Nicholas Lea, who plays Krycek.


He says "I believe in aliens, but I don't think they're among us."

Updates: Mitch Pileggi is in two new movies. One is Takedown. This film is based on the story of the capture of computer hacker Kevin Mitnick. I have no idea when this comes out. If you know, please tell me

His other movie is Gun Shy. It is about an undercover DEA agent who almost gets killed, and to continue with his mission he needs to attend group therapy. This comes out February 4, 2000.
