Work on the X-Files

Goodwin watched the pilot episode, met with Chris Carter, and shortly afterwards was hired as Co-Executive Producer. As Co-Executive Producer, Goodwin was chiefly responsible for all aspects of physical production on the show. He also directed a few episodes per season, usually the first and last episodes of the season.
Goodwin's work on the series ended at the end of season five when the show moved production from Vancouver to Los Angeles.
