It’s just shy of 20 years since Fox’s creepily addictive drama The X-Files debuted on TV. The series launched the careers of series leads David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson and forever cemented the names of Mulder and Scully in the pop culture hall of fame. Creator Chris Carter crafted a rogue’s gallery of memorable characters lurking in the shadows throughout the nine seasons of the series (and two theatrical movies). Snakkle takes a look at some of our favorites and checks in with where the actors are now.

Before the stars of this 2010 hit ran onto our screens as they escaped from shuffling zombies, they were movie and TV stars! With the Fall 2014 return of the show for its fifth season, take a look and see who you remember seeing before they wandered the wasteland of Atlanta.
