It’s so weird, back then, I was young but I thought the Cigarette Smoking Man was old. And have to admit I was surprised he was still alive today, more than 25 years later to still be around. I guess to my young eyes, William B. Davis looked like an old guy... but he is 80 now, he wasn’t really that old in 1993 
I guess CSM is immune to the effects of a bad smoking habit.
Should we still be calling him CSM here or just Carl? |
I can’t call him Carl, sorry
And David Duchovny is 57 years old today, so the CSM was actually younger than present-day Mulder at the start of the series
He definitely always came across as late 60’s-early 70’s to me, I wasn’t really expecting him to still be acting by the time of the revival either
I guess how wrinkled and lined CSM’s skin was when he was only in his 50’s is an effective warning for staying away from smoking
