David Duchovny has revealed that he always wanted The Simpsons to appear in The X-Files.

The actor, who plays Fox Mulder, came up with the idea after he and co-star Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully) provided their voices for a 1997 episode of the cartoon.

Duchovny told WENN: "The Simpsons should have come on our show. I had an idea around the seventh or eighth year and thought we should try a Roger Rabbit-style episode, where they crossed real folk and animation.

"We could do Homer comes to the FBI and deals with cartoon characters. I still feel it's a good idea."

New X-Files movie I Want To Believe is in cinemas now.
