Davis. During that time, she also worked as a dancer in Toronto.Redmond's first television role was in an episode of The X-Files; this introduced her to director David Nutter and writer Chris Carter, who later gave her a recurring role in the series Millennium, and a part in the 2008 film The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
