Two New Agents Join “The X-Files”
Deadline is reporting that Robbie Amell (“The Flash”) and Lauren Ambrose (Psycho Beach Party) have signed on as Agent Miller and Agent Einstein, respectively, in the upcoming six-episode 10th season of Fox’s “The X-Files“. They will both be appearing in one episode, although it hasn’t been determined which episode or what their roles mean.
I remember seeing Lauren Ambrose in Psycho Beach Party and really enjoying her performance. I haven’t seen her in Six Feet Under but I know that people absolutely adore that show, so she’s got a good following from that. As for Amell, I don’t think I’ve seen a single thing he’s been in, so this will be my first experience checking out his skills.
The series returns to Fox on January 24th, 2016. You can see 15-seconds of all-new footage below.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
