biography
Creator of one of the 1990s definitive pop-culture television phenomena, Chris Carter turned the phrase, “Trust no one” into the mantra of a generation of sci-fi fans. A former journalist, Carter aspired to scare television audiences with a brand of thriller that interwove the supernatural with fact-based science. With the cult hit, “The X-Files” (Fox, 1993-2002), Carter did just that; not only a success with sci-fi fans and conspiracy theorists, “The X-Files” put Carter’s name at the top of television’s creative list and earned him multiple Emmy nominations and three Golden Globe awards.
