Chris Owens

So, welcome back.

The big return is Chris Owens as Jeffrey Spender, who is in some very big makeup.

And it's a very interesting decision they make, or I should say David Duchovny makes.

The disguise... is not clearly Mulder, but it is not clearly not

Absolutely not.

I refuse to believe it.

No. What? Although the voice, I mean, I will give it to Chris Owens.

That is a tough role because he's gotten to be kind of three characters all at once.

What Monster and actually Single Blade of Grass have in common is that because of the actor gene pool in that this episode in Monster has a lot of X-Files characters in it.

Chris Owens, the sheriff, he plays Mulder's brother.

You've got Robert Wiseman.

So it's a different character, then? Oh, yeah, different characters.

So we talked about the Redskins.

So the scene when Duchovny or Mulder is on the phone talking to the cryptographer, Daniel Bernstein, was a little wink and a nod to, and it's a character that kind of stays throughout the series, kind of pops up sporadically, was a wink and a nod to David's own brother, who's named Danny.

So they named the character.

It was just kind of a little, you know.

He was good.

Tessa was played by Shelley Owens.

We won't see her again, but we will see, and X-Files fans know very well, her brother Chris Owens, who will be back repeatedly and in a very significant role later on down the line.

Uh,
