The X-Files Season 11: 10 Things We Learned From Plus One

10. Karin Konoval Gets Her Place In X-Files History

Karin Konoval may not be a household name, but she is now the answer to an obscure trivia question: name an actress who has portrayed multiple characters on The X-Files. In a single episode.

The X-Files is well-renowned for recycling actors. Prior to portraying the murderous Agent Krycek on the show, actor Nicholas Lea appeared in the first season episode Genderbender in a small role as "Michael" — a young man on the wrong side of an encounter with an alien looking to experience life on Earth. Nor is Lea (or Konoval) an isolated case. In season ten, the show brought back Alex Diakun, which marked his fourth appearance on the show in four separate roles.

Despite that milestone, Konoval may in fact be the first woman to portray three separate roles on the series. And she is definitely the first woman to portray three roles in a single episode. Konoval plays the telepathic schizophrenic 'Little Judy,' and her more sinister alter-ego. She also plays Chucky, Judy's brother (and if you really want to get technical, she also plays his doppelganger).

It's a heck of a performance, and if Chucky seems a little "odd" at first, it's likely because he's being portrayed by the same woman you watched moments earlier wearing a gown playing hangman in a psychiatric hospital.

It's a heck of a turn from Konoval, who also appeared as Madame Zelma in Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose and Mrs. Peacock in Home.
