c. Fox Broadcasting Corp. If the names Mulder and Scully mean nothing to you, then your whole life has been a lie . . . But don’t worry, "the truth is out there," and The X-Files are still open for anyone who wants to believe. In 1993, Fox was a fledgling network and actors, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson got their start playing FBI agents, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully investigating paranormal activity for The X-Files every week.
