Today I learned that the actor who played C.G.B. Spender (More commonly known as 'The Smoking Man') from the X-files, William B. Davis, was an ex-smoker when he took the role as Spender and was given the option of tobacco or herbal cigarettes.
Davis originally took tobacco cigarettes but soon switched to herbal cigarettes because it was "dangerous" to his health as well as his fear of becoming addicted to them again. During the time he was on the show, he campaigned with various anti-tobacco organizations.
Davis was not only an ex-smoker, but he was a vehement skeptic who believed in neither the occult or aliens.
