I haven't watched the X-Files in years, but I remember that episode, in part because I recognized the name Clyde Bruckman. He was a screenwriter for early Hollywood comedies by Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Laurel & Hardy, and W.C. Fields. He was also listed as director on many of their movies, but it is generally accepted that he really just stood by while the stars created the film.As I recall, he committed suicide with Buster Keaton's gun. Didn't Boyle's character also kill himself in the X-Files episode?
