Darby played Guy Mann in February 2016, in the third episode (“Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster”) of season 10 of The X-Files. He, a long-time fan of the show, was excited by his experience on set. Darby saw this as an opportunity that only comes around every so often and said he’d return to the set the first chance he received. He also starred in the HBO show “Our Flag Means Death” in 2022 as a fictional version of Stede Bonnet. Darby’s co-star in the show is Darby’s frequent collaborator Taika Waititi, who plays Blackbeard. “Our Flag Means Death” gained praise for its non-binary and LGBTQ representation, which in part was due to the romantic relationship between Waititi and Darby’s characters.
