Kim Manners; the prolific director and producer whose long showbiz career stretches from 1971's "Valdez is Coming" to "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr.," "MANTIS," and "Harsh Realm," passed away Sunday night following a battle with cancer.
Manners directed 53 hours of "The X-Files," including the 2002 two-hour series finale, "The Truth." His last directorial effort was "Metamorphosis," the Oct. 9 episode of "Supernatural."
The talent and the man will both be missed.
