Shondaland Interview: David Duchovny Is Just Getting Started

Today, Duchovny shows no signs of slowing down. This month alone, he’s promoting two very distinct projects. First up is The Estate, a dark comedy in which a family of truly terrible people (Duchovny, Toni Collette, Anna Faris, Ron Livingston, and Rosemarie DeWitt) attempt to win over their terminally ill aunt (Kathleen Turner) in the hopes of becoming beneficiaries to her wealth. In the film, which is in theaters now and on demand November 22, Duchovny plays Richard, a laid-back dimwit who expresses a creepy fondness for his cousin Macey (Collette).

On the other end of the spectrum is Kepler, Duchovny’s first graphic novel, which comes out on December 27. Co-written with and illustrated by Phillip Sevy, the book is a Planet of the Apes-esque “allegorical thriller of environmental disaster, colonialism, religion, history, and adolescence,” according to the publisher. Or, as Duchovny describes it, “a human coming-of-age story with a different hominid.”

New Interview: David Duchovny: “Its tough to have your own mind.” - December 2020

David Duchovny spends some time with Kyle Meredith to discuss his new single, Layin’ On the Tracks, and upcoming 3rd album, Gestureland. The X-Files legend tells us about being inspired by the book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and how daily politics has been a fairly new part of his life, and how he’s finding his voice as a songwriter. Also NYT best-selling author, Duchovny talks about his upcoming fourth novel, Truly Like Lightning, about a desert-dwelling Morman family and their resistance to the harms of the outside world, which he says he’s also pitched to Showtime to hopefully develop into a television show. After 3 years away from acting, Duchovny recently returned in The Craft: Legacy, and he tells us about that experience, what he did in the interim (including almost shooting an adaptation of Bucky F*cking Dent), and playing socially progressive characters throughout his career that include Twin Peaks, It’s Garry Shandling’s Show, Red Shoe Diaries, and The X-Files.
