HW: The film was very heartfelt and thought provoking, similar to some of the early episodes. Did that play a part in coming back to this after all this time?
DD: No. My coming back was not based on script. At this point I have almost complete blind trust in Chris [Carter] and Frank [Spotnitz] to come up with the goods. So my only concern was that it should be a stand alone and not something that you needed specific knowledge of 'The X-Files' to enjoy
GA: I had stated my interest in being onboard sometime ago as well and by the time I read the script it was kind of a given that this was something that we were going to do. So I don't think there was ever a point where I jumped more onboard or had an opportunity to back out of it…
DD: She wanted a musical.
GA: We're not allowed to sing.
