Gillian Anderson stories

With the 2008 X-Files movie I Want to Believe a critical and commercial dud, you couldn't blame actress Gillian Anderson (FBI Agent Dana Scully) if she wanted to hang up her gun and badge for the successful period drama career she's carved out over the past decade. But, it turns out she may still have some fight left in her to take on a few more aliens and government conspiracies.
There's no doubt David "Mulder" Duchovny and Gillian "Scully" Anderson made the perfect pair of alien-hunting feds on The X-Files, but that doesn't mean they didn't need a little tweaking. You never see it on screen, but to compensate for Anderson's small stature, the show's crew devised a very simple method to keep her on par with Duchovny: the "Scully Box."
