Cary Elwes has joined the cast of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s drama "The X-Files." According to the Hollywood Reporter, he will play the recurring character of FBI assistant director Brad Follmer, ex-boyfriend of special agent Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish).
"It's not just adding a terrific actor, it's adding somebody of a certain stature to the show," creator/executive producer Chris Carter said of Elwes' signing. He said the producers' goal was to cast someone very different from special agent John Dogget (Robert Patrick). "(Follmer) is a guy who is a little more buttoned up, a little more polished; he represents a different kind of FBI," Carter said.
