"The X-Files" Team Members Reunite for Charity

November 01, 2009 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
Actress Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully), actor Mitch Pileggi (Walter Skinner), executive producer/writer Frank Spotnitz ("The X-Files", "Millennium", "The Lone Gunmen") and executive producer/director Rob Bowman (currently EP and director on "Castle") hit the Beverly Wilshire hotel on November 14th, 2009 at 2:00pm to reminisce and answer burning questions (eg all those rumors about X-Files 3 and the 2012 mythology). This is a rare opportunity for fans to get behind-the-scenes scoops on the process of making this iconic television show, ask questions about the panelists' new, exciting projects and raise money for some very worthy causes.

"The X-Files", created by Chris Carter, aired from 1993 to 2002 and spawned two feature films. Considered one of the most successful shows in Fox's history, the award-winning show's characters, theme song and slogans have a permanent place in pop culture's history. Whether you were a fan of the mythology episodes or the monsters of the week, there is no denying that "The X-Files" made audiences ponder, gasp, laugh and hide their eyes-occasionally all at the same time.

In addition to the attending the main Q&A event, some lucky fans can also bid on chances to hang out backstage with the stars! "Meet and Greet" chances are being auctioned off on eBay right now (packages to meet Gillian, Mitch, Frank and Rob are currently available at: Bidding Links).

Would you love to ask a question, but can't attend the event? You can still be part of the fun. For a small donation, you will be able to submit a question to the moderator for inclusion in the live Q&A event. Details can be found at: Tickets. DVDs of the panel event will also be made available.

Proceeds from this amazing event will be donated in support of the participants' chosen charities, including The Santa Monica-UCLA Rape Treatment Center, Off the Street Kids, Fezeka and Children of the Night.

The event will be hosted by IBG Inc. In 2008, IBG established an official non-profit campaign focusing on utilizing the power of philanthropy through the arts to benefit a wide range of charities worldwide. IBG acts as a "fundraiser facilitator" for underfunded and start-up charities that would otherwise struggle with the logistics and costs associated with event fundraising.
