This isn't the first time Osment has shared screen time with an X-Files star. Osment played Erol, the son of Gillian Anderson's character Markia, in 2013's "I'll Follow You Down." If you're never seen it, it's an interesting tale of time travel and the lengths a man will go to put his family back together. Check out the trailer here.
