The Cleaner: better known as Crew Cut Man, is a character from
The X-Files. He is portrayed by Lindsey Ginter.
The Crew Cut Man is a MIB assassin/saboteur employed by the
Syndicate, specifically by Cigarette Smoking Man. In the season one
finale, The Erlenmeyer Flask, Crew Cut Man is working with a couple
of other Men in Black to terminate all evidence of a covert
alien-human hybrid program, which Mulder was investigating. Mulder
ends up being taken by the operatives, and Deep Throat, during the
subsequent exchange for Mulder's life, is killed by Crew Cut
Man.
Scully witnesses the murder and later, in the season two episode
Red Museum, she recognizes him during a case in remote Wisconsin,
where secret experiments with alien DNA were being conducted. He is
about his old business again, though working alone this time, and
is eventually shot dead by a local sheriff as he tries to set fire
to a warehouse where Mulder is trapped.
Like most Men in Black, little is known about Crew Cut Man.
While Mulder was being held, his cell phone was left by Crew Cut
Man unanswered, as he remarked that he had "this thing about
unsecured lines." |
