NEW YORK—They starred together in the hit series “The X Files,” but on Tuesday night David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson played like they were aspirants in the singing contest “The X Factor.”

Duchovny, who played paranormal-obsessed FBI agent Fox Mulder, and Anderson, who portrayed his skeptical partner Dana Scully, reunited and sang together onstage in New York City, performing Neil Young’s “Helpless” on the day Duchovny released his debut album.

The Golden Globe-winning actor sang lead, while Anderson harmonized with his background singers and band.

The popular series lasted nine seasons after debuting in 1993 and spawned two movie versions.

The crowd at the intimate show was enthusiastic for the actor’s 90-minute performance.
