... and Fox didn't think she was sexy enough ...


Was at a record store the other night, just browsing around and enjoying that brick-and-mortar, we-stock-vinyl (even if you don't want buy it) vibe when I saw this poster. And literally did a double take.

Yes, that's former "X-Files" star Gillian Anderson. The one who always wore those smart, buttoned down suits and spouted brilliant brainy stuff. Talk about Dr. McDreamy! I couldn't help but think with some amusement about Chris Carter, and the big-ass I Told You So he got to lay on Fox execs. Apparently he had to fight to cast Gillian, not so much because she was a relative unknown, but because she wasn't viewed as smokin' hot. You know, no implants. Un-blonde hair. The ability to say doctor stuff without seeming like she'd learned her lines phonetically.

I guess those Fox execs never saw this poster!
