So, I love that my character is placed in a position of these two worlds and these two kind of warring communities, but hoping to be a liaison and hoping that we can tell a story of tolerance and a story from two perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jared Padalecki on Working with Lindsey Morgan &amp; Genevieve on Walker | TV Insider\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ueIDU21fyUs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Now_Then_Mitch_Pileggi\"><\/span>Now &amp; Then: Mitch Pileggi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mitch Pileggi, perhaps most famous for playing Skinner on <em>The X-Files<\/em>, guest-starred in a 1998 episode of <em>Walker, Texas Ranger<\/em>.
