For a sci-fi show, there wasn't a whole lot of high tech in The X-Files. But one of the tech trends that did make it's way into the show was cell phones. When Mulder and Scully starting using them, it let the characters connect across autopsy bays, motel rooms and weird crime scenes. At FAN EXPO Denver, David Duchovny let fans in on a secret about his end of those calls. He used them to remember his lines.
The fun confession came during the reunion panel at the Colorado Convention Center, where Duchovny and Gillian Andersonappeared together for the first time in almost a decade, with the click making the rounds on TikTok. They were joined by Mitch Pileggi, Robert Patrick, Annabeth Gish, Nicholas Lea and William B. Davis in what organizers billed as the biggest X-Files cast gathering ever, a centerpiece of the four-day convention that ran May 28 to 31.
"Thank God for cell phones," Duchovny said during the panel, recalling that the technology arrived around the show's third season and finally let the two leads film separate scenes. Then he turned to Anderson. "Did I ever tell you my cell phone trick? It's what the kids call a hack." On a normal phone scene, the script supervisor would read the absent actor's lines off camera. Duchovny asked for the opposite. "I would say, just do my lines, and then I would just repeat," he explained. Anderson, who spent nine seasons on the receiving end of those calls, seemed genuinely delighted. "It's pretty brilliant," she said. "I can't believe I've never thought about that before. That's such a good idea."
