6. Mitch Pileggi Was Irked When He Auditioned For Skinner

Actor Mitch Pileggi as Walter Skinner, Mulder and Scully’s grumpy bureaucrat boss, was one of the more enjoyable aspects of the show. He had to audition four times before landing the role, however. The first few times he was called back left Pileggi a little bit bitter, which resulted in his grumpy attitude. Chris Carter, of course, assumed he was just acting well.
