20 Mind-Blowing X-Files Facts You Didn't Know

3. Skinner Married Scully's Stand In

While everyone was busy obsessing over the blossoming relationship that may or may not have been happening on screen, there was a real life one taking place off it. Actress Arlene Warren was hired to work as a stand in for Gillian Anderson in a number of scenes before eventually being cast as AD Skinner's secretary. Mitch Pileggi, who played Skinner, took quite a shine to the Scully-a-like and in 1997 the two married. Nearly 20 years later and the two are still together and have one child.
