The actor tweeted a cheeky confirmation:
Skinner evolved to be an ally to Mulder and Scully, with the Cigarette Smoking Man and Alex Krycek on the other side of the table. (Or the gun, as the case eventually was.) He appeared in spin-off show The Lone Gunmen, and also in the first X-Files film. As perhaps the most consistently-used character other than Mulder and Scully, the return of Skinner to the new X-Files season was assumed, but we’ll take the confirmation as a pleasant offering.
