Fox's X-Filesreboot will officially welcome back another veteran alongside David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. Mitch Pileggi has signed on to join the six-episode revival series, TVGuide.com has confirmed.
Pileggi tweeted the news on Monday.
Very happy to announce that Walter Skinner will once again be getting all grumpy and bitchy with his two wayward kids. Very happy.
The actor starred as Walter Skinner, Mulder and Scully's boss and friend, though occasionally an enemy, throughout The X-Files' nine-season run. He also appeared in both movies and the short-lived spin-off The Lone Gunmen.
