|
| BIOGRAPHY |
Prior to his starring role in Tarzan, Mitch Pileggi was
perhaps best known to television audiences for his performance
as FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner on the long-running
hit series The X-Files. Parlaying a guest-starring appearance
in its first season into a recurring role and finally a
series regular position in the show's third year, Pileggi
earned three Screen Actors Guild Award nominations in a
row as part of the acclaimed ensemble.
Born in Portland, Oregon, Pileggi lived in Turkey, Germany
and Saudi Arabia as a teenager, due to his father's profession
as a defense contractor. After two years in Iran, he lived
briefly in Austin, Texas, taking part in a series of regional
theater productions as an actor and set builder while also
supporting himself as a carpenter, cab driver and janitor.
Among his most memorable stage appearances during that time
were Lonestar, Bent, Chicago, Jesus Christ Superstar (as
Pilate), Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune and Buried
Child. Before settling in Los Angeles to pursue acting full
time, Pileggi made his film debut in the 1984 Spanish production
Rio Abajo (On the Line). Pileggi's varied career subsequently
included the lead in Wes Craven's Shocker and roles in Paul
Verhoeven's Basic Instinct, Takedown, Three O'Clock High,
the feature film The X-Files and the crime thriller Gun
Shy, opposite Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock. On television,
he starred in numerous television movies, including Knight
Rider 2000, Raven Hawk, Night Visions and 1st to Die, based
on the James Patterson novel. Pileggi has also hosted the
specials Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed and Conspiracy
Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? Among his numerous guest-starring
appearances are China Beach, Falcon Crest, Dallas, ER, Dharma
& Greg and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Pileggi lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter
but will reside in Toronto during the filming of the series.
