The X-Files: 10 Stars Before They Hit The Big Time

LW It€™s now been over 10 years since agents Mulder and Scully last graced our screens in their search for the truth. With a show spanning 202 episodes (that€™s 55 discs if you€™re lucky enough to have the box set), we were invited to join Mulder€™s investigation into his sister€™s disappearance and Scully€™s journey from sceptic to believer. With episodes covering aliens, vampires, parasites and the occult, we would be introduced to enough conspiracy theories and unbalanced characters to give Fox News a run for their money. As with many TV shows of our youth, the nostalgic enjoyment that comes with re-experiencing something you grew up with now includes the added spotter€™s-badge bonus of a casual, fresh faced appearance by someone who would later hit the big time. You€™d be casually following the story as it unfolds . . . then you see Dave Grohl checking his watch in the background: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWG9cvsQGV4 Strictly speaking, our dearest Dave can€™t be included in this run-down due to the fact that he was the drummer for one of the biggest bands in the world at the time, so you wouldn't really class him as an €œunknown€. The same could be said for Bruce Campbell (€œTerms of Endearment€ 1999) and Peter Boyle (€œClyde Bruckman€™s Final Repose€ 1995). These guys on the other hand . . .

My favourite films are The Big Lebowski closely followed by Jurassic Park. That should tell you everything you need to know about me.
