Answer 3

Dude I am an X-files, but your examination's of this fact a little to much..... I know what your saying but the fact is maybe hes a friend of someone on the show.  If anything, bit%^ about how it took them 10 years to put out the last movie!  

Answer 4

that can happen alot for "character" actors

in the 70's character actor andrew prine was on Barreta/ Hawaii 50 and i think it was Barnaby jones- Twice as different characters

In BBC's Doctor Who there have been several actors that played different roles in the show more than once over the yrs--in fact 6th doctor colin baker was a guard in one episode before he became The Doctor
