Gillian Anderson used to get asked this cliched question all the time and she would offer the same response: That I am agoofball. Nobody believed her. It was as if she was trying to hurl this kooky energy out into the universe but all anyone could see was the woman who played the rational Agent Dana Scully over the course of 218 episodes on “The X-Files,” the skeptic who never wavered from the view that extraordinary things could always be explained in the most mundane fashion.

“She always put people at ease,” Anderson says, “so it’ll be interesting to dive into that.” Perhaps develop that aspect of yourself? I ask. “Maybe.” Or ... reveal it, like her silly side? “Yes!” she says, without hesitation. Finding satisfying work has not been an issue of late, though the pandemic paused everything after she wrapped “The Crown” last February. Anderson resides in London with her two sons, who are 14 and 12. She cops to being “quite a hermit,” so the lockdown didn’t faze her much. She painted walls, listened to podcasts, did innumerable puzzles. She couldn’t quite shake Thatcher early on, finding she’d revert to “Thatcher face” when concentrating on solving a puzzle.
