The X-Files Revival Spoilers: Wil David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson Mulder/Scully Lose Skinner?

Back by popular demand, Fox is just a month away from bringing back their iconic sci-fi/horror series. In the upcoming revival of The X-Files, will agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) find themselves losing Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi)?

As we previously mentioned,13 years have passed since FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully were on the TV screen solving weird and supernatural cases. The reboot of Fox's popular sci-fi series continues with an all-new 6 episode arc. Not only are the two leads back to reprise their iconic roles, creator Chris Carter will takeover as showrunner once again for the franchise that launched his and many other careers.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Shocker actor describes Skinner's position in the FBI, "The dedication, I think he's a very dedicated person at what he does. He's very dedicated to Mulder and Scully, but before that, he was very dedicated to his job in the FBI. He, obviously, has connections with people who have power, because he is still there. And I would assume, he has something to do with the X-Files being reopened. No one else in the FBI is going to [take that step] ... what those connections are, I don't know."

The Sons of Anarchy actor also details Skinner's love life, "All I can say is the first day of shooting, I forgot to take my wedding ring off. So, continuity-wise, he's married. So my story is, he married his secretary [from the original series] - who is my [real-life] wife. [Laughs.]"

Pileggi adds if this is the last time we'll see Skinner, "f it continues, I'll always want to do this character. Whether [Carter] wants me to do it or not, or whether he has things for me to do are another thing."

The X-Files returns with a special two-night event beginning Sunday, January 24, 2016, following the NFC Championship Game. The event continues Monday, January 25, 2016 (8pm).
