From X-Files to Californicator
David Duchovny’s back on series TV after he departed from the wildly popular Fox series “The X-Files” in 2002.
He’s now on a series trying to cope through drugs, alcohol and sex in the Showtime series “Californication.” He plays a writer whose best-seller has been turned into a crappy sitcom. Now he’s facing a writer’s block bigger than a Hollywood actor’s ego, dealing with his girlfriend’s new relationship with another guy and their 12-year-old daughter testing her sexuality.
But don’t expect David’s wife Tea Leoni to appear on the series.
“We’ve always tried not to work together, mostly because she doesn’t want to work with me, ” he joked. “But I honestly can’t imagine anything creepier than watching people who actually have sex having sex on TV. It’s a funky feeling to act with your wife anyway.”
In the series, David may become the first leading man in a TV series who has sex with a minor.
“Two things I have to do,” David says in response. “Update my resume and call my mother.”
