I just started watching The X-Files with my bf Steve. He is also the person who introduced me to the wonderful, now my favorite show ever, LOST. We have noticed, in just the first season of X-Files, how many actors have also been on LOST! I wanted to see how many actors have appeared on both shows and I was hoping that there would be a definitive list out there that I could look at, instead of having to meticulously go through IMDB and figure this out on my own… alas, there is not, so I figured I would provide this information to the internet, because I am nice like that.
I will be starting with Season 1 of LOST, combing through IMDB and figuring out which actors, even in bit parts, appeared in both shows.
It is possible that I have too much time on my hands.
Once an actor has been listed, I will not post their name again, even if they appear in more episodes of LOST. It would just be too much to have to write Terry O’Quinn for EVERY episode!!!

So, 24 episodes and 12 actors in both shows. I am not sure how big of parts any of these people played on the X-Files, since I have only seen season 1. But, it is still somewhat interesting.
Seasons 2-5 (and counting) will be looked at as I have time. I already know quite a few people (Man in Black, Horace Goodspeed, Jacob, Ben) who have been on both shows, but I will continue with my episode by episode system…for now.
