Cast of Characters (alphabetically by actor's name)
===================================================

Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson)
	Dr. Dana Scully plays the skeptic, insisting that everything has a
logical scientific explanation, although her exposure to the X-Files
certainly has given her cause to question her own beliefs.  She was assigned
to work with Agent Mulder to keep an eye on him and determine if his
activities are worth the time he spends working on them.  She was recruited
out of medical school and saw the FBI as a place to distinguish herself.

Agent Fox "Spooky" Mulder (David Duchovny)
	Agent Fox Mulder is one of the FBI's greatest detectives with his
photographic memory and his background as a psychologist which has helped
him to profile many serial killers.  His interest in the paranormal made him
dig into the X-Files and also gave some higher officials in the bureau cause
to believe him eccentric, reinforcing the nickname "Spooky" which he
received in the academy.  His fascination with extraterrestial life began in
his childhood when his sister disappeared - Fox claims she was abducted by
aliens.


Other Important Players
=======================

Assistant Director Walter S. Skinner (Mitch Pileggi)
	One of the heads of the FBI who seems to have it in for Mulder and
the X-Files division and is searching for a way to be rid of them.

"Smoking Man" (William B. Davis)
	A quiet man of whom little is known, but he does seem to hold a
position of power even though much of his job entails storing top secret
items in the Pentagon.
(Note:  The name "Smoking Man" was taken from the credits following
        "Tooms.")

"Deep Throat" (Jerry Hardin)
	This mysterious and influential man first appeared to warn Mulder
about Ellens Air Force Base.  He has provided Mulder with a lot of
classified information, and in doing so, places his own life in danger.  His
reasons for helping Mulder are his own, but he claims that it is a form of
penitence.
(Note:  The name "Deep Throat" was given to him by the writers and was first
	spoken aloud in "The Erlenmeyer Flask.")

1.11 "Eve"						12/10/93

     the two men's daughters seems more than coincidental.  So, when the

1.12 "Fire"						12/17/93

     w: Larry Barber & Paul Barber	d: Rob Bowman
	A series of sexually related killings confound the two agents who

     w:	Alex Gansa & Howard Gordon	d: David Nutter
	During a trap set for a bank robber, a fellow agent and friend of

     the agent is brought back from apparent death, he takes on the persona

	After a downed UFO crashes near Iraqi airspace, an unmarked truck

     w: Howard Gordon & Chris Carter	d: Michael Lange
	The inexplicable deaths of several people at the hands of a faith
     healer send Mulder and Scully into the Bible belt.  The deaths have
     shaken the miracle worker's faith in his gift, but not before Mulder
     experiences some of the boy's power.

1.19 "Shapes"						4/1/94
     w: Marilyn Osborn			d: David Nutter
	The shooting of a Native American draws Mulder's attention as the
     murderer believed he had shot an animal of some sort.  But an Indian
     myth and some strange evidence seem to indicate the possibility of
     lycanthropy, the very phenomenon which opened the very first X-File.

1.20 "Darkness Falls"					4/15/94
     w: Chris Carter			d: Joe Napolitano
	Mulder pulls some strings to be assigned to a case involving the
     disappearance of 30 loggers in Washington state.  They discover that

     worse than what the judicial system would have done.  Now the two
     agents must try to avoid the same dark fate.

1.21 "Tooms"						4/22/94
     w: Glen Morgan & James Wong	d: David Nutter
	Eugene Tooms, a mutant killer brought in by Mulder and Scully, is
     released based on psychiatric re-evaluation and lack of evidence.
     So, Mulder sets out to prevent Tooms from killing for the fifth and
     final liver he needs, while Scully attempts to locate more definitive
     evidence.  Both tasks made more difficult by their superiors
     insistence that they work by the book.

1.22 "Born Again"					4/29/94
     w: Howard Gordon & Alex Gansa	d: Jerrold Freedman
	A little girl is tied to the deaths of two Buffalo policemen, but
     the possibility that she is the murderer is ludicrous.  So Mulder and
     Scully begin an investigation of the eight year old, turning up
     evidence that may help to solve a nine year old murder case.  The
     case which Mulder believes was the death of the girl's past life.

1.23 "Roland"						5/6/94
     w: Chris Ruppenthal		d: David Nutter
	A mentally handicapped janitor seems to be the only suspect in
     the murders of two members of a propulsion research team.  Yet the
     evidence of advanced theoretical work seems to eliminate the
     possibility, until Mulder and Scully uncover his relationship to a
     scientist whose brain has been cryogenically preserved.

1.24 "The Erlenmeyer Flask"				5/13/94
     w: Chris Carter			d: R.W. Goodwin
	When Deep Throat points out a news story about a fugitive who
     apparently drowned, Mulder and Scully cannot see what makes it
     special.  But with his insistence, they discover evidence of secret
     government experimentation with extraterrestrial DNA.  However, the
     evidence and everyone who has seen it is quickly being eliminated.
