She Finally Got Another Job!

Filed under: TV News

Best known for her work on X-Files, Gillian Anderson has been rather quiet in recent years.

However, the actress has finally got a new gig!

Anderson will be the new host of PBS' Masterpiece Theater.

What? She couldn't get any more work that required to actually act????

Gillian is shooting X-Files 2 in Vancouver, BC right now. Shooting started last night. Tonight (december 11th) is there 2nd night on Homer Street. They have put snow on the sidewalks. I know for sure David was filming on Homer Street last night. Its a pretty big production going on right now. Its helping out Vancouver production workers since most shows (Supernautral and Smallville) have halted here because of the WGA strike.

Gillian Anderson has been acting on stage in London for a while. Plus she did some movies over there too. Just because we didn't see her all the time doesn't mean she wasn't working. Check your facts.

She was kind of boring, but Scully and Mulder were the two hottest-looking people that have ever been on television.

37

Perez, we just love your petty critiques! First off, Gillian Anderson will be remembered in history for her acting skills. You, for a smart ass mouth, if at all. Secondly, you don't consider hosting Masterpiece Theater a job? What is it YOU do for a job again? Talk shit about people. (Ok, yes you are good at that.)
Gypsy Gal says – reply to this

Duh! Gillian has been acting in the classics for YEARS. This is a perfect match.

She fucked some car clamp guy and got knocked up. Divorced her husband. I saw he in London a few months ago. She looks like shit.

Honestly, this is so cool! An American female (and ex-punkette no less!) breaching one of the last bastions of veddy proper white euromale worship. I mean, long live Alistair Cooke, but this is awesome! She was fabulous in Bleak House and that Edith Wharton thingie, too.

She's Soooooooo Beautiful! I loved watching her on the X-files:) Pink Redhead I just loved looking at her:) Hey! We all have weeknesses & Pink Redheaded goddesses are mine:) I love Brunettes and strawberry blonds, but what more can I say? Forget about the leather skinned Yellow headed skanks that are the norm (Hollywood/Playboy/Internet porn standard), She's just plain lovely:)…Thank you…

Watch out Perez — Gillybeans rabid fans will defend her to the death. They worse than Brit-Brit's little fansies. A bunch of teenage girls cuming in their panties.

She's way past her expiration date. She'll be a weather presenter any day now. Bad mother. Bad actress. Bad human being.

Oh gee, I wonder which of her many fucking fake accents she'll use for this piece of crap. Idiot. She just had another ugly kid.

54

She was in "Last King of Scotland", one of the best things about that film. It was a small pary, but she was bang on. Her Brit accent was flawless.
James & Forrest says – reply to this

55

Uh, dude, she was in The Last King of Scotland. But she was blonde and had an accent so maybe you didn't recognize her.

BTW, yahoo reported this earlier this morning, wtf took you so long.

Have you seen recent pictures of her — she looks looks like she's been run over by a train. She used to be just boring, now she's sad.

she played the doctors wife in last king of scotland
Mia says – reply to this

58

You're an idiot. Just because she isn't in any of the crap you watch, you assume she's unemployed and desperate for a job.

Did you see Bleak House? Do you even know who Charles Dickens is?

She's been doing real acting over in England for years. She has class. Unlike you.

How did that fool Chris Carter even get the green light for another XF movie. the other one sucked. Can't they replace that horrible Gillian Anderson with someone else. Like, uh, Paris hilton or someone with a brain.
itsme says – reply to this

60

HELLO? She appeared in 2 movies in 2005, 1 in 2006 and has several in the works - one of which includes the new X-Files movie. Also she was nominated for her role in the Masterpiece Theater miniseries. Shouldn't you do some research before writing some flip adolescent comment?

Re: giggity –

They are shooting near my school and I know a couple of people who are Production Assistants, but then again they never tell PAs anything. I'll keep a look out. I can tell you they had about 10 men dressed in green FBI gear waiting to film. Then they closed off the street so we couldn't watch anymore. They are shooting on Panavision cameras on 35 mm film stock.

Hi. My name is FuckTard. I've got nothing else to do but hijack screen names and slander an actress. Everyone pay attention to me. *lays down on floor and throws temper tantrum* MOMMMMMYYYY!!!!!

YOU ASS, STOP USING HAVEN MEMBERS NAMES TO POST NEGATIVE COMMENTS. 9/10 OUT OF THESE COMMENTS ARE FAUX, USING HAVEN MEMBER'S NAME WHO ARE ACTUALLY HUGE FANS OF GA. AND GET YOUR FUCKING FACTS STRAIGHT. GA HAS BEEN WORKING FROM THE MOMENT XF ENDED, EVERY DAMN YEAR IN SEVERAL PROJECTS. BUT OF COURSE YOU KNOW ALL THAT, HOW SCREWED UP ARE YOU. OR MAYBE THAT'S EXACTLY THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET LAID. LAME EXCUSE FOR A TROLL

Just to Let you know most of the nicks used in the comments belong to real Gillian Anderson fans and someone is using them in order to cause troble, posting things that these fans would never say. So I guess your time in Haven is over honey.

You ass. She has been part of Masterpiece theater for a long time now. Because she is really serious and passionate about acting in only selected plays or movies doesn't mean she can't get a job. She already made it. She is a total geek icon. She doesn't care and you are not going to see her anytime soon making movies or launching her perfume like J-lo. She is special Perezito. Don't mess with my diva please. I still love you Perez.

82

just because she isn't on the hills (the only thing you seem to watch) doen't mean she hasn't acted. did u not see the last king of scotland? she has been in many things since the x files.

who are you?. Can you at least pretend to be cultured

Hey now! She's a great actress much better than that lame stoney piece of shit that she had to co-act with in X-files!!

Look whose talking. At least she can do something which is more than anyone can say about you. All you can do is be a bottom feeder and live off the work and lives of others. What would you know about the reality of the competition in the industry. You aren't fit for anything though you have managed a couple of reality tv gigs because you are a circus side show. Sure as hell ain't because you have any talent, value or purpose, it's simply because you are an oddity and the world loves to hate and laugh at how pathetic you are. No one takes you seriously. Everyone knows you are a user, a liar and the worst kind of failure. You are like a loach, you know the fish that lives off the algae and shit of other fish in the acquarium.

ahhh….Hello, she has been working. She was the main character in Bleak House. I guess most people who read ParexHilton never watch PBS. She was also in some other things, Perez…. take 2 seconds to check IMDB

Hey Perez, she has done a bunch of indie movies, got nominated in the UK and the US for "Bleak House" , did TWO plays in the WEst End in the UK, had a baby and is currently starring in the new X Files movie that will be out next summer…sure, she is just slacking off!!!! JERK!!!

So NOT looking forward to the new X-Files movie. No one gave Chris Carter the memo that it's not 2002, when it would've made sense to have a movie? I've really soured on Dave and Gillian, too. Both actors bore me. David… I can tolerate, I guess, but Gillian comes off as such a flake. Disappointing, since Scully was a great, intelligent character. And LMFAO @ the Havenites finding their way here. Man, the fandom never changes.

Dude, do your research. Girl was in a ton of British indies and has like 4 movies coming out in 08 already. Plus a Golden Globe and BAFTA nom.

perez! i'm a loyal reader–and normally a supporter–but I have to say FOUL! Gillian Anderson has been acting on stage in London for YEARS now, and she is quite talented. Because YOU haven't had the wherewithal to keep up with her career doesn't mean that it hasn't been thriving. As an aside, there IS an x-files sequel filming.
