“Ten centuries ago the Mayans were so afraid that their calendar stopped on the exact date that my story begins. December 22, the year 2012. The date of the final alien invasion. Mulder can confirm the date. He saw it at Mount Weather… where our own ‘Secret Government’ will be hiding when it all comes down.”

– CSM, ‘The Truth Pt II’

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”

– The Well Manicured Man, ‘The Blessing Way’.

“The 98-mile road owes its mythic status to Area 51, the nearby military base where the government either 1. tests cutting-edge planes or 2. experiments on little green intergalactic pilots and their downed space craft, depending on who you believe. You can hear both sides argued at the Little A’Le’Inn, a UFO-themed restaurant and motel along the route in Rachel, Nev. The owner, Pat Travis-Laudenklos, has been selling Saucer Burgers and green alien-headed coffee mugs to X-Files fans and kitsch-loving road-trippers for 26 years. She claims to have seen a UFO herself and can direct you to the gates of Area 51 or point you towards the infamous “black mailbox” (actually white) that serves as a meeting spot for sky scanners.”-Chris Baty, Via AAA magazine

Comments:

“I loved the X-Files and had a chance to meet William B. Davis when I lived in Vancouver, very nice man.” – Trev Murphy [email]

“I have a pack of Marlboro Cigs signed by William. He came and spoke to a crowd locally years back. He’s a brilliant speaker. Very entertaining.” –  ‘Yellow jacket’ [Posted in the Virtual Firefly Forum at Fireflyfans.net]

“I have ‘Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man’ and it is excellent!” – Listener Karen [posted on the X-Files Truth Facebook page]

“There is more to William B. Davis than merely portraying the Cigarette Smoking Man. Through his remarkable life story, you can clearly see his passion for the entertainment arts. Great read!” – Agent Summer

“When the Cigarette Smoking Man actually first spoke on The X-Files, we found out what a truly talented actor Bill Davis is. Now in this absorbing, fascinating book about his rich and exciting life, we discover he’s equally talented as a director, teacher, lover, skier, and much more” – R.W. Goodwin, executive producer, writer, director of The X-Files [from the back cover of Where There’s Smoke… Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man]

“Bill Davis’ remarkable career in the performing arts makes for a vivid memoir and a valuable cultural history. an entertaining and addictive read.” – Jerry Wasserman, actor, critic, and head of the Department of Theatre and Film at the University of British Columbia. [from the back cover of Where There’s Smoke… Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man]

“Bill Davis’ memoir is a lively personal story and a document in the history of theatre. He tells a revealing tale of how determination and chance lead him to be a stage director in England, a producer, director and teacher in Canada and to his own astonishment, a film actor who achieved celebrity for his television performances in The X-Files. His account of his life is thoughtful, amusing, even mildly scandalous. This is not how it should have been, but how it was.” – David Helwig, poet, novelist, and essayist [from the back cover of Where There’s Smoke… Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man]

“For anyone who is a student or lover of theatre, or anyone involved with the profession in whatever capacity, the book is a treasure trove of history – full of detail and insight. A fascinating historical perspective of a particular period in Canadian and British theatre. Thoroughly enjoyable.” – Tom Braidwood, actor (“Frohike”), producer, director (The X-Files, The Lone Gunmen, Da Vinci’s Inquest) [from the back cover of Where There’s Smoke… Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man]

“What a great actor Mr. Davis is. I’ve never seen anything else he was in, but I recently watched the entire run of the X-Files for the first time, and whether you loved him or hated him the best episodes (in my book) were the major plot-line episodes when he was on the show. As only a master at his/her craft can make you do, I often found my emotional hatred or love for his character swinging back and forth like a pendulum throughout the series! What a treat when he was the only “cameo” appearance in the final episode that wasn’t dead and a figment of Fox’s imagination!!!!!! In the end, if what he said in his final dialogue to Fox was true… what a truly sadistic bast**d Cancer Man was. I wonder if he weighs in on the fact that his book is coming out in 2012 and well, yanno… Here’s hoping for the 3rd X-Files film this year, when it’s still relevant. I’m going to definitely try to be there for the chat. I’m not usually the type that gets all excited about celebrity meet and greets, but WBD is awesome!” – 6ixStringJack [Posted in the Virtual Firefly Forum at Fireflyfans.net]

“I appreciate and love his work, especially in the X-Files and wish him the best of health for many years to come.”  – Listener Devaleena  [posted on the X-Files Truth Facebook page].
