DAVID DUCHOVNY (FBI Special Agent
Fox Mulder) is the brilliant and sullen FBI
agent whose belief in the existence of the
unexplainable drives him to explore cases
deemed unsolvable by the Bureau. For his
work on "The X-Files," Duchovny won the
1997 Golden Globe for Best Actor in a
Dramatic Series; he had received two prior
Golden Globe nominations. He was also
nominated for two Screen Actors Guild
Awards and a TV Critic's Award for Best
Actor in a Dramatic Series. His work on
"The X-Files'" fourth season won him a 1997
Emmy Award nomination for Best Actor in a
Dramatic Series. Duchovny was also
nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding
Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his
highly acclaimed and some say risqué
appearance on "The Larry Sanders Show" in
1997. He just completed work on the series
finale for that landmark show. His passion for
renegade films has brought him critical
acclaim for his performances in the feature
films "Kalifornia," in which he co-starred with
Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis; "The Rapture,"
the controversial film directed by Michael
Tolkin in which Duchovny starred opposite
Mimi Rogers; and "Julia Has Two Lovers," in
which he turned in a much heralded
performance as a telephone hustler.
Duchovny played Roland "Rollie" Totheroh,
Charlie Chaplin's longtime confidante and
cameraman in the Sir Richard Attenborough
directed "Chaplin," which starred Robert
Downey, Jr. in the title role; and starred in the
smash hit "Beethoven," opposite Charles
Grodin, as the evil yuppie determined to take
over Charles Grodin's company. He recently
appeared in the lead role of 'Dr. Eugene
Sands' in the action thriller "Playing God."
Still recognized for his role as
'Dennis/Denise Bryson', the transvestite
detective in David Lynch's breakthrough
television series "Twin Peaks," Duchovny
has also spent five years as the
impassioned narrator of Zalman King's
erotic anthology series "Red Shoe Diaries,"
which began as a feature length telefilm for
Showtime. On stage, Duchovny has
appeared in such plays as "The Copulating
Machine of Venice, California" and "Green
Cockatoo." Born and raised in New York
City, Duchovny attended Princeton University
(where he played one season as shooting
guard on the school's basketball team), and
then received his masters degree in English
Literature from Yale, where he also pursued
a Ph.D. He is married to actress Tea Leoni.
GILLIAN ANDERSON (FBI Special Agent Dana Scully) plays Agent Mulder's partner, a medical doctor who provides the skepticism to Mulder's beliefs. For her performances on "The X-Files," Anderson has earned the respect of television fans and critics alike who have cited her character's intelligence, wit, and integrity as veritable breakthroughs in television drama. In 1996, Anderson won her second Screen Actors Guild award as well as a Golden Globe award. The following year she was awarded an Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award for best dramatic actress in a television series. Anderson studied at the Goodman Theater School at Chicago's DePaul University, where she obtained her BFA degree. She moved to New York City and consistently worked off-Broadway. She co-starred in Christopher Hampton's "The Philanthropist" at the Long Warf Theatre, and received a Theater World Award for her performance in Alan Ayckborne's "Absent Friends" at the Manhattan Theater Club. Anderson's other film and television credits include an episode of the Fox series "Class of '96." She also appears in the Miramax film "The Mighty," directed by Peter Chelsom and starring Sharon Stone and Gena Rowlands, to be released in October. She has a cameo role in the independent film "Chicago Cab," also starring John Cusack and Julianne Moore. This summer Anderson is filming her second Miramax film, "Dancing About Architecture," in which she joins an ensemble cast including Sean Connery, Dennis Quaid, Madeleine Stowe, Gena Rowlands and Angelina Jolie.
