The X-Files Turns 30! On Set for Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny's First Interviews

It has been 30 years since we were introduced to Mulder and Scully on 'The X-Files.' ET looks back at our first on-set interviews with Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny in 1993.

The X File's came at the right place at the right time. It exploded into a worldwide phenomenon and became a cultural zeitsgist. It practically influenced everything and became one of the greatest shows of all time. ..

[@deanwalker9605]

The greatest chemistry I've ever seen on television. This show was the best of the 1990's. Trust No One.

[@bmarie216]

I miss this show so much. They’re both great actors! ❤️😊

[@gerry-p9x]

[@MabyMJ]

I love them and I miss them so so so much!!!!!

The one tv series that truly marked my childhood in the 90’s! Gillian and Dave’s acting were out of this world. Funny thing is that I never bonded with the comeback in 2016, because they would never be able to capture the atmosphere or image graininess/sound so typical of those times.

2023…! Tooms is due to rise again. Aw they were so cute here they were babies. Love how they spoke about the show. X-Files was my life as a kid. Got me through some rough times I wouldn't be who i am today without having David and Gillian to look up to.❤😊

[@shady200S]

The Best tv show of 90's and one of my favorites ever

[@knowleitallsuper-soldier2056]

Thank you, ET!! 30 years🎉

[@pangaeus]

Wow, this must have been filmed during their first month of filming- crazy. I wish the camera didn't cut off the interaction when DD came over to GA.

[@knsnsy]

clever and “spooky” ending

[@gizmomac1520]

Happy 30thh!! 🥳🥳

[@missezramay]

They’re so baby here 😩

[@LauraDonLee]

How have I never seen this interview!

[@wennapark8329]

Love this show❤❤❤❤❤

[@Dominion-1]

1. (1:19) Background guy looks like Chris Carter.
2. (3:52) Scully says 2023...👽

[@denisefreitas6727]

Great show!

[@virginiasale5773]

Best TV show ever❤

[@emilybarker3240]

Still my favorite show of all time… no relationship can ever beet Mulder and scully

[@X-1993]

Young and beautiful

[@dotbotha5898]

Loved that program

[@quo33]

3:46 My god, he was so handsome/cute. I love the 90s. There was a softness to things that we don't see like that anymore.

[@Cshaw-kv3zf]

He was gorgeous in 3:46!!!!

[@hs2874]

I recognise her hair, this is from either the episode Tooms or Squeeze. It's that monster dude who resurfaces every 30 years to harvest livers. She looks gorgeous here.

[@zammmerjammer]

Me too! I thought "They must be shooting Squeeze because I don't think we ever see Scully have that hairstyle again"
Because I am the world's biggest X-Files nerd.

[@i.a.2023]

Thanks for sharing this. When I was a kid, I recorded ET programs just to watch X files interviews. ❤

[@rayc.8555]

I really miss this show. There has been nothing like it since. Many cheap copies but nothing like the original. I wish they would bring it back.

[@Patriot1791-BOR]

The one FBI agents you could trust.

[@gerry-p9x]

The showabout the glowing roaches and bambi. Birnbaum and saying roaches are et s. Was classic

[@rosarioruiz958]

mi serie favorita

[@azv343]

Gawd I love how videocameras worked in the 90s... PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE OF FOCUSING ON THE FOREGROUND SUBJECT BEING INTERVIEWED... The wall? Perfect! Tack focus! Every single nook and cranny in sharp relief... the person being interviewed? Can't even tell where their pupils start and their eyebrows end!

[@markelinebrayner9730]

Two babies who hadn’t a clue the cult they started. 😅

[@Madbandit77]

I knew it was going to be a hit because it had to be because sci-fi/horror/fantasy TV shows, before this series, were one and done and/or destined to be cult favorites. The X-Files took itself and its audience seriously. Without it, Buffy, Supernatural, Lost, Game Of Thrones, Westworld wouldn't have existed.

[@empath3133]

2023 😮

[@torobustamante8548]

ahora que puedo ver otra vez las temporadas completas que cada vez admiro más, ver sus personajes como se metieron en esos papeles donde habia mucho dialogo muy interesante, que sin duda fue la mejor pareja del momento por la química

[@ritalafleur4417]

COME BACK!!!!

[@androssteague]

This show paved the way for every unisex crime procedural show after it.

[@stephenbarnes9196]

I wonder if the feds was a consultant on the show

[@yumpox]

They had a former FBI agent as a consultant, yes.

[@Juan0003]

Can't wait to see Tooms come back! lol
