An older Agent Mulder sits on Forrest Gump's bench.
There is a funny story for this. Of course, I don't have a photographic memory, so I was searching for some stock footage of Gump sitting and waiting. Among other things, I found a fellow who had re-created the famous scene, but only twelve inches high. The cotton suit that the Forrest Gump doll wears is immaculately tailored and correct to the smallest detail, except that it was made to fit a doll. No matter how carefully you design doll clothes, they won't drape like human clothes. I thought the stiff pose of the doll and the bagginess of its clothes were comical, so I used that to give old Mulder an exceptionally frumpy and out-of-place look.
