Section Chief Scott Blevins (Charles Cioffi) is with the Violent Crimes
Section of the Bureau. [Pilot] Blevins assigned Scully to be Mulder's
partner, and her field reports were sent to his office. [early episodes]
Section Chief Joseph McGrath (Frederick Coffin) is with the Office of
Professional Responsibility [Fallen Angel] and seemed determined to have
Mulder fired and the X Files shut down.
Assistant Director Walter S. Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is Mulder's and
Scully's superior. He warned both Scully and Mulder that their
unorthodox methods of investiation may have dire consequences [Tooms],
and followed through by shutting down the X Files division at an order
from "the highest levels of government." [Erlenmeyer Flask] He has since
had second throughts and reopened the X Files [Ascension]. He has also
overtly showed his support for Mulder [One Breath; End Game], openly
confronting Cigarette Smoking Man [The Blessing Way; Paper Clip], and is
trying (in vain) to keep Mulder from going over the edge [F.Emasculata;
Soft Light; Anasazi]. The Smoking Man also tried to get Skinner removed
from his office by framing him for murder, but was unsuccessful
[Avatar].Skinner is married and has no children.
ctahmase@ix.netcom.com is keeping an FAQ on Assistant Director
Skinner and his real-life portrayer Pileggi.
