Reviews of Karin Konoval as Chucky and Judy in The X-Files “Plus One”
“Judy Poundstone…an enjoyably foul presence, rivalled only by her twin, Chuck, for sheer toxic charisma. In an inspired bit of casting, both siblings are played by Karin Konoval, who relishes the chance to repeatedly top her own performance, as we boomerang between the pair.” Vodzilla
“Karin Konoval has already made her mark on The X-Files thanks to her iconic performances as under-the-bed villain Mrs. Peacock in “Home” and fortune teller Madame Zelma in “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose,” but her latest role(s) in this week’s “Plus One” could make her mark on the Emmys. As twins Judy Poundstone and Chucky Poundstone and their two dopplegangers, Konoval effortlessly portrays four complicated, quirky characters who have a telepathic link.” Goldderby
“Whilst on the subject of Judy, it would be remiss not to mention the utter perfection of Karin Konoval‘s performance(s). Essentially playing four characters, Konoval gives a tour-de-force performance, equal parts hilarious and chilling. If we hadn’t known prior to watching the episode that she played both Judy AND Chucky, we wouldn’t have guessed she was playing both parts, so perfect and unique is her performance.” Critical Popcorn
“Chris Carter’s best episode also gives us the best supporting performance from a veteran of the series, Karin Konoval. Playing both Judy and Chuck Poundstone, Konoval is riveting in her dual role.” Vulture
