AHLAN: 6 Question with David Duchovny - 2014

He’s best known for his starring role in cult classic The X-Files in which he achieved legendary status as FBI agent Fox Mulder, but his most recent turn as the humorous Hank Moody in Californication brought him a new audience of fans. Unfortunately, the show is in its last season with the final few scenes already completed, but David Duchovny has already secured a role on a new programme called Aquarius. We grabbed five minutes with the smouldering star to find out how he’s coping with the transition between shows. 

How did you feel on the last day of shooting Californication? 

I don’t know how I managed not to cry. I’m kind of the father of the set, so I figured if I started crying, the rest of the team might just break down completely.

"I kissed a man recently, and with romantic intent. I liked and admired him very much, and professionally he is as good as anyone in his field, but truth be told he isn’t conventionally attractive. In fact, he is not tall, lacks any hair whatsoever and is a bit older than anyone I would likely be interested in kissing, regardless of gender.

But I did it anyway, and not without the apprehension you would expect from someone completely new to that sort of thing. I wondered what my wife would think. Since I was being paid for it, I figured she’d be okay with it. And considering the circumstances, I took solace in knowing she wouldn’t be asking me, “How long has this been going on?” or “Do you love him?”

DAVID DUCHOVNY

Californication (Showtime)

It's always hard to end a season. It's even harder when you know it's going to end the series. I would catch myself thinking, "This is the last scene I'm going to do with [actor Evan Handler], aka The Runkles. This is the last god-awful herbal cigarette. This is the last time I try to convince the very English co-star Natascha McElhone to pronounce something incorrectly by lying to her ('I swear that's how we say schedule -- just like you, shedule!')." It was very nostalgic, like being at a three-month wake, but the happy kind, with singing and dancing.

Den of Geek: Interview With Californication's Oliver Cooper

As Californication heads toward the home stretch, we spoke with Oliver Cooper about playing Hank Moody's son and the finals days on set.

When Project X producer Todd Phillips was casting what would become the surprise hit of 2012, he was looking for young, unknown actors to create an authentic party scene to couple with the film’s point-of-view shooting style. Phillips found a rookie actor, Oliver Cooper, to play Costa, one of the instigator of the wildest party ever captured on film.

Since making his film debut in Project X, Cooper has been slowly building up his acting résumé, landing a small role in another Todd Phillips picture, The Hangover Part III, and working alongside Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck in the 2013 crime drama Runner Runner. These days, Cooper has found a home in another star-studded ensemble, after being cast as Hank Moody’s oddly rambunctious son, Levon, in Californication.

'Californication' Final Season: Heather Graham on Adding Conflict to Hank Moody's Life

The "Hangover" and "Flowers in the Attic" actress, who begins her multiepisode arc on the Showtime series this Sunday, tells THR her character brings personal turmoil to David Duchovny's protagonist.

Californication may be ending but it's final season is chock full of guest stars. One of whom is Heather Graham (The Hangover franchise, Lifetime's Flowers in the Attic), who had admittedly never seen the show. It was the chance to work with David Duchovny that was a crucial selling point.

"I had known David a little bit in the past; we have some mutual friends. I was excited about the idea of working with him," Graham tells The Hollywood Reporter of her seventh-season arc.

Heather Graham can't say a lot about Californication Season 7

Glamour: You will also appear in the final season of Californication as the mother of David Duchovny's long-lost son. What more can you tell us about it?

Heather: Well, they’ve been telling me I can’t say a lot about the story, so I guess you got some advance secrets! But I loved working with David [Duchovny] and the show’s creator. In TV, when they cast you, they can sort of write for you, so as I got to play that role, they added a lot of fun stuff. I get to be really sassy—definitely the opposite of Flowers in the Attic. Instead of being this awful, screwed up mother, I’m this over-protective, almost overly doting, and loving mother.

'Californication's' Oliver Cooper: David Duchovny 'makes you a better actor'

After the revelation at the end of the Season 7 premiere of "Californication," you can expect Oliver Cooper's character Levon to be sticking around a while. After all, he's Hank Moody's (David Duchovny) other child.

For Cooper, who achieved his first fame through the found footage movie "Project X," working on the show is a dream. "This is my favorite acting job. There's more acting stuff to do," he tells Zap2it. "Getting to act on the same show as people like Michael Imperioli and David Duchovny makes you a better actor."

AV Club: Pamela Adlon on Californication 7 and meeting Duchovny for the first time

The actor: Pamela Adlon (or Pamela Segall, for those who’ve been following her work from the very beginning) began her acting career when she was just a youngster, making her film debut in Grease 2 at 16. From there, she popped up in a variety of movies and TV series throughout the 1980s and ’90s, eventually carving herself a niche as a voice actor (Recess, King Of The Hill) while also continuing her work in the world of live-action entertainment. Although Adlon is in the home stretch with her role as Marcy Runkle on Showtime’s Californication—the series’ sixth season is now on DVD, with the seventh and final season premiering on April 13— she continues to serve as a consulting producer on Louie, which returns to FX on May 5.

TIME: David Duchovny Talks Saying Goodbye to Californication

The actor tells TIME about letting his rear end call the shots in his career

After seven season, Showtime’s Californication is coming to its end. The series, created by Tom Kapinos, has followed troubled writer Hank Moody as he attempts to navigate family and career while continually womanizing, drinking and engaging in general debauchery. The character of Hank, played by David Duchovny, will hopefully find a satisfying — although perhaps not altogether happy — end during the final season, which premieres April 13.

Duchovny is already moving on to his next project, a series for NBC called Aquarius, on which he’ll play a police detective on the trail of serial killer Charles Manson. That project begins shooting in July, but meanwhile, Duchovny has been reflecting on the end of Californication and what the show has meant to popular culture. TIME spoke with the actor about saying goodbye to Hank, what it means to be a writer and why his ass makes all his career decisions.
