Former X files star Gillian Anderson has spoke out saying she was force to appear in the show against her will. Gillian played FBI agent Dana Scully for nine years.
Gillian spoke to Stella Magazine, and said: “I couldn’t get out of it. I didn’t have a choice. I had to sign a contract for five-and-a-half-years before I even went to my first audition - when I didn’t know if I’d got the part. Back then I was all innocent and I thought, Wow that sounds wonderful. But then, when I started, I realised I’d be in a Canadian wood working 16 hours a day for nine months a year. And the reason I stayed so long was because the only way I could get more money was to commit myself to doing it for another couple of years.”
