PhileFest: Pileggi/Gish/Lea

More notes from The X-Files PhileFest from last September, this time from the panel with none other than Mitch Pileggi (Skinner), Annabeth Gish (Monica Reyes) and Nicholas Lea (Krycek)!

  • Lots of talk about acting, about life outside acting, daily life, the actors’ strike (they were not allowed to mention TXF by name).
  • NL singles out Bob Goodwin as an unsung hero and one of the main reasons for TXF’s success. [hear, hear!]
  • NL wanted to become an illustrator of archaeological sites when he was young. [this is so out there and personal to me that I had to single it out!]
  • NL remembers touring Europe with MP to promote TXF in the 1990s, about how easy it is to act entitled in show business (in general, NL is very down-to-earth and appears allergic to the whole stardom thing).
  • NL, MP and DD are all also musicians, the fans wonder when will the super-group form?
  • NL was a fan of REM; in an event he met REM bass player Mike Mills and Alice Cooper, and both were big TXF fans.
  • MP thanks Glen Morgan for casting him: when Chris Carter was hesitating between two actors, Morgan told him “always go with the bald guy”.
