No Gillian Anderson in X-Files

[Berra]

I think that someone suggested that they wouldn't cast Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully and have some "blond bimbo" with scilicone brests. Then what?

Depending on how 'bimbo' the bimbo is, the show draws a smaller audience and goes for fewer seasons. No movie made. And David Duchovny doesn't go on to Hollywood fame, though he may get a chance at TV fame in other series. He would be good, just not hugely successful without Scully.

Would the producer whose name I forget get the chance to make that overhyped other serial killer show whose name I forget? I doubt it.

Actually, they wanted Anderson because she wasn't hot, so the audience would just look at her as a sex symbol. Kinda backfired, I'd say. I always thought she was hot.

I aggr that she was hot. don't hang up on the bimbo-thing.

Gillian Anderson ands up arrested for freaking out on a plane, not being famous.The X-Files is just a flash in the pan.

The Xfiles would last two seasons at the most. Millenium, would never be.

Anderson was an epitome of the non-hot hottie. The kind of woman who is terribly attractive just because you don't expect her to be.

She was cold as ice, man. She's not hot at all. Perhaps aesthetically pleasing, but not my cup of tea.

Or rather, not my label of wine cooler.
