It's Skinner, with a beard. And frankly, it really, really suits him. Of all things, fans have been debating bearded Skinner, with beard and no beard factions forming. Because that's what really matters, folks - Mitch Pileggi's facial hair. Personally, it looks pretty bad*ss, which is exactly what Skinner should be at this point: the no-nonsense FBI bigwig who isn't afraid to get a little rough and tumble at times. So, stop worrying about the beard and be happy Skinner is back (and that Pileggi gets a spot in the show's opening credits!).
