You go into an episode thinking you want it to be more intense. But then on the set you see David wants to improvise. And it wasn’t until we were on set that it hit me that we split them up in “Home Again,” and that was wrong. So I let them monkey around and do jokes and he’d come back and say, “Don’t cut them out!”
Glen Morgan about his episode “This” (x)
I’ve been defending DD a lot on here because I simply HATE to hear supposed fans trashing him. Saying he’s selfish (again) and wants to keep making X Files because of money… or because he can’t find another acting job. (Truth is he had so much fun being Mulder in S11, he wants to keep going. For the joy of it. He’s got plenty of $$.. c’mon people.)
In that face of that crap… I LOVE hearing shit like this above. The truth is, Duchovny has been the best friend of MSR for a long time. He wrote that incredible hallway scene in “Amor Fati” … he wrote “The Unnatural” .. he’s the one who danced with Gillian unscripted in “PMP” .. and he enjoys the romantic banter and sexual innuendo enough to beg Glen Morgan not to cut them out. He’ll go with the scripts he’s given, whether M&S are broken up or together, but he still tries to bring in the romance. And of course, HE’s the one who kept referring to Scully as Mulder’s WIFE – over and over, despite Chris Carter’s corrections. I think he sees M&S now as a sort of Nick and Nora “The Thin Man’ couple – loving each other, man & wife solving crimes and kicking butt. (Younger fans – google “Thin Man” movies from the ‘30s)
