During a recent appearance, Gillian Anderson disclosed that two actual accidents occurred on the set of a memorable X-Files episode, "War of the Coprophages." The first incident involved a car crash that took place behind her during a scene, which Anderson confirmed was real and involved stunt performers.
Adding to the on-set chaos, Anderson also revealed that a moment where a man ran into her was another unscripted event. Reflecting on these occurrences, she noted that while she stayed in character then, her reaction might be more pronounced if such incidents happened today.
The X-Files, which premiered in 1993, became a massive hit. The series has since spawned films and a recent revival. Notably, director Ryan Coogler is developing a reboot, and Anderson has expressed her well wishes and willingness to be involved.
