Trivia / Millennium (1996)

• Development Hell: The creators have expressed interest in doing a movie following The X-Files: I Want to Believe, but details are sparse.
• The Other Darrin: The Polaroid Man (credited as "The Figure") was played by Paul Raskin in "Paper Dove". In the next episode Doug Hutchison, known to the producers for playing Eugene Victor Tooms on The X-Files, took over the role.
• Real-Life Relative: A funny retroactive example, as Jeff Yagher, the actor playing the actor playing Frank in "Thirteen Years Later" would later marry Megan Gallagher, who had played (the actual) Catherine Black.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Lance Henriksen had always been Chris Carter's first choice to play Frank Black, but Fox wanted William Hurt. Neither actor was interested in doing a TV show at that point, but Carter's emotional plea to Henriksen and the quality of the pilot script sold him.
  • The Peacock family from The X-Files episode Home was going to appear in an episode in an attempt to boost Millennium's low ratings. Fox found out and put an end to it.
