X Files

Mulder and Scully turn to the retired Black - who has quit in order to ensure the safety of his daughter, Jordan - hoping that he can help them.

"I felt I owed it to Chris Carter to do the episode. He worked hard on Millennium. The people who didn't work hard were Fox. They didn't promote it enough, otherwise it would still be on the air. Millennium was getting pretty good ratings it just felt like we were dumped."

"When Chris approached me about doing the X Files, I felt 'Let's give Millennium its dignity , because Fox certainly didn't. I was happy to do it. It was closure. I don't ever want to do Frank Black again. If we did a feature I would, but he's done as a TV character. And I liked the point of the episode. It's 2000. The ball falls. And we are all still there."
