Tom Braidwood (born September 27, 1948) is a Canadian actor and director known for the role of Melvin Frohike, one of the conspiracy theorists known as The Lone Gunmen on the American television series The X-Files.
He has a small role in the 1985 film My American Cousin, and wrote an episode of the Canadian TV series Danger Bay (on which he was also an assistant director).
Braidwood's initially one-shot part as Frohike developed into a recurring character, seen in 39 episodes across all nine seasons of the original run of the show.
In addition to The X-Files, Braidwood also co-starred as Frohike in the spin-off series The Lone Gunmen, which aired 13 episodes in 2001.
Braidwood essentially retired from both acting and production work around 2010, but returned to reprise the role of Frohike in a single episode of The X-Files revival series in 2016.
