Denver Comic Con 2015 Guest Spotlight: Mitch Pileggi

Written by John Edward Betancourt

It is undoubtedly the dream of any actor to be remembered for playing the perfect role. Not only does the actor get the chance to bring a character to life, but they do such a phenomenal job of doing it, that their likeness becomes the character, and you cannot imagine anyone else in that role.

That is the kind of elite status that actor Mitch Pileggi has enjoyed in his career, one that is rich to say the least. In fact Mitch has managed to land roles in several big time shows. He played Commissioner Gordon in The Batman. He spent some time on Stargate: Atlantis, Supernatural and most recently he has guest starred on Grey's Anatomy and Sons of Anarchy.  

But out of all of his many roles, the one that gives Mitch instant recognition was his portrayal of FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner on The X-Files. In fact this is also the role that has been with Mitch the longest, since he played the iconic character from 1994-2002 on the series and it was recently announced that he would be reprising his role for the revival of the series that will be coming to Netflix soon.  

Oh, and I almost forgot, this fan favorite actor, one that many of us grew up watching on The X-Files is coming to Denver Comic Con 2015. After all, DCC is all about having iconic actors come to the Mile High City to celebrate their work with their many, many fans and this is just another example of how great a job they do in landing some top tier talent. 

I mean seriously, Mitch is a massive addition to this year's convention, and Denver Comic Con just keeps upping their game year after year, bringing some giant names to the Colorado Convention Center.  I know I'm looking forward to meeting Mitch at his table and I can't wait to see what other amazing names the DCC staff still have up their sleeve. It really is going to be an incredible year.
