He wrote the classic episode
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, in which Peter Boyle plays a psychic who can foresee how people will die.
Quote:
Clyde Bruckman: You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified way than autoerotic asphyxiation.
Mulder: Why are you telling me that?
Clyde Bruckman: Look, forget I mentioned it. It's none of my business.
