The role consequently went to Ivanek. (X-Files Confidential, p. 75) Assisting Zeljko Ivanek with the part was thrilling for David Nutter. "I really enjoyed working with him, and making his portrayal as real as possible," the director related. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 26/27, No. 6/1, p. 58) The portrayal ended up garnering high praise from cast and crew of The X-Files. (The Complete X-Files: Behind the Series, the Myths and the Movies, p. 50) Nutter was one of the production staffers who were very pleased with the actor's performance, thinking Ivanek "did a wonderful job." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 26/27, No. 6/1, p. 58) In agreement, Chris Carter described Ivanek's appearance in the role as "just an amazing performance" and further remarked. "This guy, Zeljko, should have won an award for this. I thought he was just fantastic [...] and he turned in a terrific performance which, for me, made the episode." (X-Files Confidential, p. 75)
