RIP Charles Cioffi

Actor Charles Cioffi died on May 22 aged 90 (Deadline article).

The X-Files fans know him as FBI Section Chief Scott Blevins, who recruited Scully in the 1X79: Pilot. He appeared again in 1X03: Conduit and came back years later in the momentous 4X24: Gethsemane / 5X02-03: Redux trilogy.

I think his character could have been used more in the series, but he was a busy actor in theatre, TV and movies. Most relevant for TXF, he was the main antagonist in one of the big paranoid thrillers of the 1970s, Klute , where he acted opposite Donald Sutherland and Jane Fonda. I am guessing that Carter cast him because of that role.
