The X-Files: 15 Guest Stars Who Made It Big

8. Aaron Paul (Season 9, Episode 5: Lord Of The Flies)

On The X-Files: The same episode starring Jane Lynch, Lord Of The Flies sees Doggett and Reyes investigating the death of a high schooler. Aaron Paul plays Sky Commander Winky, a teen whose ambitions to appear on the fictitious Dumb A** show kick off the action of the episode. Most Memorable Moment: Winky removes the helmet of his friend to discover that his head has imploded. How Aaron Paul Made It Big: Getting his start by playing such roles as "Frat Boy" and "Student" in the late 1990s, Paul became another X-Files alum to be cast on Breaking Bad in 2008. Playing meth cook Jesse Pinkman for all five seasons, Paul was the first person to win three Best Supporting Actor Emmys in the Drama category. With major roles on the big screen in Need For Speed (2014) and Exodus: Gods And Kings (2014) as well as executive producer/co-star credit on the Netflix animated series BoJack Horseman, Paul's star continues to rise.

Fiction buff and writer. If it's on Netflix, it's probably in my queue. I've bought DVDs for the special features and usually claim that the book is better than the movie or show (and can provide examples). I've never met a TV show that I won't marathon. Follow on Twitter @lah9891 .
