The world’s eyes focus on Vancouver next month with the opening of the Winter Olympics, but Boyd McConnell, President of Pendrell Suites, a boutique hotel in that city's downtown wants any of the actors, producers and directors who were involved in filming the over 60 productions at his building since 1989 to come for the games.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and my little hotel is available for any of the actors and their families for the games,” McConnell stated.

“We’re probably most famous as Agent Scully’s Washington, D.C. apartment on the TV series "X-Files," when she was abducted. That same suite was used as Anne Heche’s 4th floor Manhattan apartment in the NBC TV series "Men in Trees,” he added.

"The latest shoot was the remake of 'V' in which the characters come in front of the hotel and stare up at the alien spaceship hovering over the hotel," McConnell said.

"Then the character who is in love with the lady living in our suite three, turns out to be an alien. So, despite the scepticism of Agent Scully, we do have aliens at the hotel," McConnell clarified.

Action star Jet Li fought two kung fu fights in hotel's meditation garden in the feature film "Romeo Must Die," which garden also played a Los Angeles restaurant on the MTV series "Noah’s Arc."

Most of the actors and producers who have been at Pendrell Suites, including those that just stayed there while working on other projects, such as Billy Zane, Ned Beatty, James McCaffery, Alyssa Milano, Ron Moore and more are all invited to contact McConnell for time and space at the hotel.

“I am hoping David Duchovnny, Gillian Anderson, Jet Li, Anne Heche and Sunli—along with Hollywood, Beijing TV filmed at the building, too—come to Vancouver for this monumental event,” McConnell stated.

"Finally, my Mom who knows them all would love to see everyone, again," he concluded
