Gillian Anderson stars as Special Agent Dana Scully, the exceptionally rational agent who, trained as a medical doctor, is a true believer in the power of science to explain what at often times seems unexplainable. Playing ying to her partner Fox Mulder's yang, Scully refuses to cede to his hypotheses that there exists in the universe anybody or anything that does not conform to the laws of nature and the rules of science --alien beings and human anomalies included. For her performance on THE X-FILES, Anderson has earned the respect of television fans and critics alike who have cited her character's intelligence, wit and integrity as veritable breakthroughs in television drama. In May of 1995, Movieline dubbed her "a better actress than most of the women you see in movies." Anderson received the 1996 SAG Award for Outstanding Actress in a Television Drama, an honor voted on byher fellow professional actors. She also received a 1996 Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama.
Anderson has emerged to become one of television's most popular young actresses, boasting two on-line fan clubs, the "Gillian Anderson Testosterone Brigade" and the "Gillian Anderson Fan Club." Prior to her role on THE X-FILES, Anderson was an award-winning off-Broadway actress, recipient of a Theatre World Award for her performance in Alan Ayckborne's "Absent Friends" at the Manhattan Theater Club, and co- star in Christopher Hampton's "The Philanthropist" at the Long Wharf Theater in New York.
Born in Chicago, Anderson moved to London, England with her family when she was 2. When she turned 11, her family moved back to the United States and settled in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
