Some episodes centered on Mulder and Scully's boss at the FBI, Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi).



...while others centered around The Lone Gunmen, a trio of conspiracy theorists who eventually merited their own spinoff.

California native Chris Carter, who had previously met with limited success writing for television, was given the opportunity to produce new shows for the struggling FOX network in the early 1990s. Tired of the comedies he had been working on,[13] inspired by a report that 3.7 million Americans may have been abducted by aliens,[14] and recalling memories of Watergate and '70s horror show Kolchak: The Night Stalker,[15] Carter came up with the idea for The X-Files and wrote the pilot episode himself in 1992. He initially struggled over the untested concept — executives wanted a love interest for Scully — and casting. The network wanted either a more established or a "taller, leggier, blonder and breastier"[16] actress for Scully than the 24-year-old Gillian Anderson, a theater veteran with minor film experience, whom Carter felt was the only choice after auditions.[17][18] Nevertheless, the pilot with both Anderson and David Duchovny was successfully shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in early 1993, and the show was picked up for the Friday night 9:00PM slot on the American fall TV schedule. Carter started a new company called Ten Thirteen Productions, named after his October 13th birthday, to oversee The X-Files.
