Which is pretty easy to do, when you no longer have a hit tv show.

Former X-FILES star Gillian Anderson will never appear on TV again, claiming it is destroying society.

The actress has stuck to movies since quitting the series in 2002 – recently appearing in Academy Award-winning film The Last King Of Scotland. And although she is rumoured to be reuniting with David Duchovny for another movie version of the hit sci-fi show – she insists she would rather be unemployed than return to the small screen.

Anderson tells PageSix, “My God, I don’t even watch television. I don’t like television. I never have liked it. The whole concept of sitting down in front of a TV feels like one of the things that’s destroying society, as far as I’m concerned.”
