Actor Mitch Pileggi recently tweeted that he had worked with Michael Bay on the new Transformers movie, Transformers the Last Knight. From the wording of the tweet, it sounds as though he has already completed his part in the film, and he’s giving no hints as to what his part might be.
Had the extreme pleasure of working on the new Transformers movie with @michaelbay. It’s fascinating watching this cat work.
For those unaware, Mitch Pileggi is perhaps best known for his recurring role as FBI assistant director Walter Skinner in the X Files. He also played the role of Colonel Steven Caldwell in Stargate Atlantis. Whatever his role is, we’re sure that it will bring some gravitas to the new movie.

You can say that again. I didn't even see him at all in the movie.

I'd say human is more likely.
That could happen.
Too early in the filming process for voice recording. That won't happen till like later this year/early next year.
sad but true.

Another cool addition to the movie.

Another good actor who'll probably be wasted in this movie.

Yeah it's been present, it's all Sci-fi. But since x-files has a way more vast depiction of the extraordinary maybe now transformers can become even if just a tiny more sci-fiish would be good.

Yes. Oh my goodness yes!!! A crossover of the X-Files in a Transformers movie is all I have ever wanted. Make it happen!

My first thought was that this was some X-Files element in TLK, which to be fair has been present in all the past films. But I think that may be too easy.
I'm curious as to who he will be playing.

That's awesome. Skinner was my second favorite character in the show, love to seen more of Pileggi
Windsweeper II
Now that is cool.
Hollywood Hoist
What a "Shocker" of an announcement.
optimusprime42
yes former dallas actor Mitch Pileggi who played Harris Ryland just made the movie even awesome
MyloTron
It's a good sign that they hired a x-files guy. Because that show is one of the pioneers of sci-fi. And we all know that in order for something to be possible it has to be imagined first.

Neat!

Been watching Breaking the Magician's Code on Netflix & he narrates that. Prob the perfect narrator for that show. Was also cool in X-Files & I remember him from 1 ep of that 70s show, where he played an old friend of Red's that had become a swinger.

I'm stoked. I've been binge-watching the X-Files. Now we just need Cancer man to voice Kup or something so the cigarette/cigar carries over lol.
Darkryt
I saw some of Stargate: Atlantis and him in it. I think he would complement the Transformer movies well, if true.

LOL! … The truth is out there.

Oh look, Dean and Sam's maternal psychotic Grampa is in T5. We have a Supernatural connection, possibly in more ways than one

I'm excited to see who he'll be in this new movie! Could there be any chance of him voicing a former? BTW, Really enjoyed him in X-Files.
