The X –Files actor was getting cold feet about making the new movie until a fan posted a montage of him kissing co-star GILLIAN ANDERSON on the video sharing site.

“I was very excited to do the movie, and then as the date approached I started to get scared,” he said.

“But somebody pulled up one of these homages to the show on YouTube that has a romantic song, and then all these kisses between Gillian and me, and that was actually really helpful to me, to kind of feel the show again. It was very romantic and it was very sweet, and I was like, 'Oh, I could watch that and then that would help me get into work. So maybe I'll do it.' Whoever put that together, I thank them.”
