The actors, who appeared as Mulder and Scully together on the classic science fiction TV series from 1993 to 2002, and returned to their roles for two movies and a revival series in 2016, took to the stage at the Shrine Auditorium to present the award for outstanding ensemble cast in a drama series.
In a video she posted in July 2024, Gillian said: “OK so I’ve been told that you guys want some information about when I won the Emmy back about a century ago and I kissed David first and why did I not kiss my boyfriend Rodney.”.
More than a decade since they last appeared as their iconic characters, the pair announced the ensemble award with David joking: “‘Ensemble,’ I believe that's a French word that means: ‘Thank God I only have to work three days a week.’”.
“There was a long time, working on the show, where we were just not even dealing with one another off-camera,” David said on his podcast Fail Better, where Gillian was his guest.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles last night featured many celebrity reunions on stage and off, including X-Files stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.
