The Cleaner, better known as '''Crew Cut Man''', is a character from The X-Files . He is portrayed by Lindsey Ginter .

The Crew Cut Man is a MIB Assassin /saboteur employed by the Syndicate , specifically by Cigarette Smoking Man . In the Season One finale, ''The Erlenmeyer Flask'', Crew Cut Man is working with a couple of other Men in Black to terminate all evidence of a covert Alien-human Hybrid program, which Mulder was investigating. Mulder ends up being taken by the operatives, and Deep Throat , during the subsequent exchange for Mulder's life, is killed by Crew Cut Man.

Scully witnesses the murder and later, in the Season Two episode ''Red Museum'', she recognizes him during a case in remote Wisconsin , where secret experiments with alien DNA were being conducted. He is about his old business again, though working alone this time, and is eventually shot dead by a local sheriff as he tries to set fire to a warehouse where Mulder is trapped.

Like most Men in Black, little is known about Crew Cut Man. While Mulder was being held, his Cell Phone was left by Crew Cut Man unanswered, as he remarked that he had "this thing about unsecured lines."
