Okay, who's responsible for this page?

That would be me, Mez, singular webmistress now that Lynne's left us for another actor. [Have I mentioned my abandonment issues?] She still loves ol' Smokey of course, but her John McEnery Homepage keeps her off the streets and out of trouble nowadays.

Not that there's a lot of trouble to be found living in East Podunk, Ioway....

I claim the right to run this homepage by simple virtue of my maiden name, which is Roswell. If you care or dare you can see a picture of me here. Like most aliens I look better in the dark.

I'm a 39-year old American living in England, married to a sweetheart of a Brit named Paul. You can read all about that by visiting my personal homepage, The Roswell Connection. I also run a homepage on British actor Charles Dance ("Jewel in the Crown", "Rebecca"), who, like Bill Davis, is another Thinking Woman's man.

When I'm not futzing with homepages or playing computer geek for the business Paul and I run, I pursue my first love: writing. I also enjoy reading, theatre, and country hikes, although finding spare time is a bit like trying to scoop together handfuls of air. Occasionally I squeeze in eating and sleeping.

Why a page on William B. Davis?

Oh goody, now we're getting to the interesting part!

I've been watching The X-Files since it started. Love the MOTW eps, but always preferred the mytharcs in general. Then, in March '99, Lynne asked the fatal question: "Who plays Cigarette-Smoking Man?", appended with: "He's hot!" So he is, I thought.

Thus the seed was planted.

Next thing I knew, as I rummaged the 'net for info on William B. Davis, I succumbed to the wicked charms of his alter-ego on The X-Files. It's a heady little affair for which I make no excuses. As has been said by others, CSM can inveigle me anytime!

Naturally enough, some of this fascination reflected back on Mr. Davis. I found that the more I learned about him the more he charmed me, and now that I've actually met him in person I can verify that he's one of the sweetest, most interesting people around. He just never stops enjoying and encouraging fans. And if you think his talent stops at acting, think again. He's also an impressive director, screen-writer, teacher and lecturer, not to mention outdoor sportsman. (I'm still hoping that one day he'll teach me how to get down the slopes with both skis on.) So why didn't this versatile performer have a website other than X-Files/CSM pages? What an oversight!

Originally it was Lynne's idea to create this website. Envious as that left me, I just didn't think I could find the time to plan, code and maintain one myself. But as with her initial interest in William B. Davis, the idea of creating a site for him soon inflamed me. Now Mr. Davis has his well-deserved niche in cyberspace, a regular clearinghouse of information regarding his career for everyone to share. Of course it wouldn't be half of what it's become without his direct participation, for which I couldn't be more grateful.

Enjoy the site! ~ Mez
