A profile of the star of “The X-Files,” “Sex Education,” “The Fall,” and “The Crown,” who has edited a new book, “Want,” about sexual fantasies. Rebecca Mead reports.
Anderson’s career was forged in Canada. When she was in her mid-twenties, she was cast as the F.B.I. agent Dana Scully in “The X-Files,” the sci-fi drama that débuted on Fox in 1993. “I got the job on a Thursday, and I was needed in Vancouver on the Saturday,” Anderson said. The first five seasons were shot in British Columbia, and the show’s dark, gloomy aesthetic was partly a product of the region’s meteorological conditions.
” Anderson was devastated. “I wanted to quit,” she said. “I thought, If that’s what happens when I put everything of myself into something, I am not meant to be doing this.” Instead, she moved to the U.K. and embarked on what was effectively a second career, as a British actor. “In the U.S., no A-list actors did TV in that period—it was considered beneath them,” she explained.
