LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
 Y FAMILY and
I arrived on the Fox lot Wednesday morning. We went into the Ten
Thirteen production office building where I saw Chris Carter's office.
Our tour guide showed us around the Fox lot
where we saw various sets and props from different shows. We went into
the Foley room where they create all the sound effects for various
shows, and into the sound stage where there was a main area with a room
to house an orchestra. Mark Snow has used both rooms. We saw wardrobes
and props inside other rooms. Outside we also saw where David Duchovny
and Gillian Anderson's trailers are.
Finally it was time to go into the X-Files
set. There, I saw Gillian's stand-in, Michelle Chaldu, Brett Bell,
David's stand-in and stunt double, and Steve Kiziak, David's photo
double.
I was then told about the episode that was
being filmed. It is called Hungry, and is about a brain eater. I
also saw Rick Milikan around this time.
We were taken over near the side door of the
set where they were filming.

When that part of the scene was
over, Gillian walked out, followed by David.
The characters in the scenes I watched were
Mulder, Scully, and the brain eater - Rob Roberts. David and Gillian
were sitting on apple crates behind the camera, and Chad Donella (Rob)
was on the couch in the living room. David had on sandals that did not
go with his suit! Of course though, they were not filmed.
Mulder tells Rob about the body they found, and
that in the autopsy Scully found a shark tooth-like object in the
victim's head, with the brain missing. Rob asks why they are telling him
that. Mulder tells him, "I think you know."
During the rest of the interrogation, Rob says
that there is no such thing as monsters. On the way out, Mulder tells
him to watch out for monsters.
Gillian walked over to me and shook my hand. I
told her that I had met her backstage at the Expo in New York last year,
and showed her a picture. She remembered me! She had to finish filming,
and said she would be back to talk to me soon.
Someone told me to sit in Gillian's chair so I
could see better! I watched the scene being filmed in front of me, as
well as on the screen that Kim Manners was watching.
