Rancid's Tim Armstrong Guest-Starred on 'The X-Files' Last Night
On Monday night (Feb. 8), The X-Files' limited-edition revival went punk.
The episode was called "Home Again," and 50-year-old Rancid singer/guitarist Tim Armstrong played a guy whose dark thoughts (and artistic creation) came to life in the form of a terrifying, giant, murderous creature who actually tore people limb from limb, then recycled some of their parts and threw the rest into the back of a garbage truck before climbing in with them and letting the compactor have at it. The tearing was over-the-top gross...he just ripped the first victim's arms right off his torso.
The Trashman, as Armstrong was known, wasn't really a villain, it turned out. He was an artist concerned about homeless people, inadvertently manifesting a creature who came to life and took grisly revenge on people mistreating or profiting from the homeless. When the beast was done killing, it disappeared.
