Gillian Anderson is an American actress of television and film. While Anderson had some smaller credits at the beginning of her career, it was the hit sci-fi series The X Files that gave the actress her big break. On the show Anderson played Agent Dana Scully, a character she also played in the film version of the television show. In 2008, Anderson reprised her role of Agent Scully in the movie sequel The X-Files: I Want To Believe.

Early Life
Born to a computer analyst and owner of a film post-production company, Anderson was born in Chicago, Illinois but moved around quite a bit as a young girl. First living in Puerto Rico and then London, her family finally settled in Michigan. As a gifted student who explored her identity, she was named "Most Bizarre" and "Class Clown" in high school. Although originally wanting to be a marine biologist, she took this quality of being different and placed it in her passion for acting. -
Getting the XFiles
One of Anderson's first TV credits was a guest star on a FOX show called Class of '96'. From that guest appearance, X Files creator Chris Carter sent Anderson the pilot script to his new sci-fi show, but while Carter wanted Anderson for the role as Agent Scully, FOX wanted an actress with previous credits. While more actresses were sent in for the role, Carter stood by Anderson and she was eventually cast. -
Film Career
While starring on The X Files, Anderson also starred in several films including The House of Mirth and voiced the character of Moro in Princess Mononoke. As the series came to a close she continued her theatrical platform in the films, The Last King of Scotland and Straightheads. -

Reddit, who do you find strangely attractive?
[...] sex. I can only imagine what it would be like to share the sack with a mass murderer of children and Gillian Anderson. That's straight up bonercide. Although, gotta admit, Gillian Anderson is beyond fuckable. [...]ianandris | http://www.reddit.com/ Original | Permalink (November 23, 2009 09:56 AM) -
Reddit, who do you find strangely attractive?
I would kill a thousand orphans to have a 3-way with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. Also, I find the chick from Fringe to be strangely alluring. Maybe I just have an unhealthy love of sci-fi.ottothebobcat | http://www.reddit.com/ Original | Permalink (November 23, 2009 12:18 AM) -

Armchair Casting Director: ‘Fringe’
Man, I don't like the idea of Gillian Anderson as Walter's wife. It would make strong some comments about Fringe being only a copy of the X Files (which I consider an absurd!).But I can't think about any other actress.
