Observer: Pamela Adlon on Discovering Wooden Dildos With David Duchovny - September 2016

FX is on a bit of a great comedy streak lately. First, Donald Glover’s Atlanta managed to be effortlessly hilarious while still illuminating a part of black culture practically nonexistent on TV before. Better Things, debuting tonight, takes a different but no less distinctive path — it’s a simple, grounded comedy that just so happens to be virtually devoid of white men.

Creator Pamela Adlon–best known for seven seasons of Californication, frequent collaborations both on-screen and off with Louis CK or as the unmistakeable voice of Bobby Hill–stars as Sam, an actress living in L.A. juggling landing gigs and raising three young daughters. It’s a warmer Louie, minus the schlubby sad-man aesthetic, a comedy that mines a great deal from life’s small moments: A daughter asking for a weed, the humdrum of L.A. auditions, the struggle of finding suitable porn past a certain age. We met up with Adlon recently at the TCA Press Tour in Beverly Hills to discuss finding these small moments, the allure of Los Angeles, and surfing the middle-age porn scene with Californication co-star David Duchovny.

Sunday Times: David Duchovny: Mulder and Scully bury the hatchet and start unearthing secrets again - Feb 2016

Relations used to be cold, but the actor says he now has fun with his co-star Gillian Anderson. Though he has to admit he forgot about their baby

THERE are only two reasons to go to Hollywood Boulevard: to see the stars or to buy drugs. David Duchovny fans can now do both at once. His star on the Walk of Fame (the 2,572nd), which I watched being unveiled two weeks ago, sits in the midst of the dope dealers and a few feet from the Smoke House, a shop specialising in hookah pipes, vaping kit and anything you might need to satiate the munchies.

I realise how fitting this is when I meet Duchovny in a Los Angeles hotel a little later on. I find a man so monosyllabic and monotone that he appears either to have been smoking heavily or to be on the brink of falling asleep. In fact he is just tired.

Washington Times: Duchovny brings debut songs to Howard Theatre, talks of ‘X-Files’ spring resurgence

The truth may still be out there, but David Duchovny has effectively turned the lens inward. After two decades in the TV and film spotlights, Mr. Duchovny has just released his first rock album, appropriately titled “Hell or Highwater.”

“I’d never really played any music before five years ago, so it was something where I took up the guitar pretty damn late in life just to kind of amuse myself,” Mr. Duchovny told The Washington Times, adding that he wrote the tracks on “Hell or Highwater” with “the best intentions.”

Mr. Duchovny learned to play under the tutelage of Los Angeles-based guitarist Carlos Calvo, who was the official guitar coach on “Californication.” Mr. Duchovny subsequently hired Mr. Calvo to coach him privately — even taking his teacher along to his new show, “Aquarius,” and insisting his character have it written in that he was a guitarist.

Herald Sun: David Duchovny is better than ever, and pumped for the new X-Files

AFTER seven years of playing an alcoholic womaniser on Californication, you might think David Duchovny has had his fill of performing in sex scenes. However, now on the TV drama Aquarius, in which he plays a detective in search of a missing teenage girl, it seems that scenarios of a sexual nature are synonymous with the 54-year old actor.

“I find sex scenes to be a little embarrassing and they’re usually a little awkward, “he admits. “Although when they make sense, they’re great. I’ve always said that there are many scenes in life, most of them you have your clothes on, but some you don’t. But if the scene is just for the purpose of getting your clothes off, then let’s not do it. It has to mean something. If it’s just to show tits or body parts I’m not interested — not as a viewer, not as a writer, nor as an actor.”

David Duchovny on an NC-17 'Aquarius' Cut and Why Mulder is a 'Very Bad Cop' on 'The X-Files'

"There's the cut, and there's the fucking cut."

With "Aquarius," NBC is doing two things never done before on broadcast TV: releasing an entire season of television simultaneously and making David Duchovny play a real cop. Much has been made about the Peacock's decision to distribute the full first season of John McNamara's period cop drama the day after its traditional broadcast debut, but some may be surprised to hear Duchovny doesn't think of his past characters as cops. Yes, even thatcharacter.

"Aquarius" marks the actor's first role on broadcast television since playing FBI Agent Fox Mulder on "The X-Files" — a role he'll be reprising for a new season in 2016 — but he's not straying far from cable. "Aquarius" is a hard-edged network drama, and Duchovny (as well as series creator John McNamara) said there's more than what you'll see on NBC. An "NC-17" cut has been created, even if it may not be available domestically.

Hell or Highwater: Duchovny on Inspiration for Album, 'X-Files'

Whether you remember him as Mulder on "The X-Files" or Hank Moody on "Californication," David Duchovny now wants you to give him a try as something else: a recording artist. His first album, "Hell or Highwater" was recently released.

Buzzfeed Interview: How David Duchovny’s Love Of Television Brought Him Back To X-Files

The 54-year-old Aquarius star talks to BuzzFeed News about the ever-evolving state of network television and how the upcoming X-Files reboot plays into it.

When The X-Files ended in 2002, David Duchovny wanted to choose a role that was 180 degrees away from FBI Agent Fox Mulder, the beloved character he’d played on Fox’s sci-fi drama for nine seasons. “When I finished X Files, I probably thought, I don’t want to do that anymore,” he admitted to BuzzFeed News during a party for his upcoming NBC series Aquarius at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles this week.

Deadline: David Duchovny On NBC’s Manson-Family Drama ‘Aquarius': “I Did ‘The X Files’ – Nothing Creeps Me Out”

NBC’s new Aquarius, about a cop working in Los Angeles at the time of the rise of cult leader Charles Manson, originally was envisioned as a novel series, creator John McNamara said this afternoon. Until Marty Adelstein told him it was a terrible idea, because in a novel you can’t hear the music and music was one of the main characters. “That was 2008 and we’ve been developing it ever since,” McNamara said.

One year ago last month, NBC announced that, following the end of his Showtime series Californication, David Duchovny would reunite with former Showtime topper Bob Greenblatt for the period drama. NBC gave the event series a 13-episode straight-to-series order, marking a return to broadcast TV for Duchovny, who starred in Fox’s hit The X-Files, with which Greenblatt also was involved as a Fox exec at that time.

Shortlist Interview: DAVID DUCHOVNY "HANK MOODY WOULD PROBABLY HATE ME"

As an actor, David Duchovny already has a special place in many adults' hearts. Playing Fox Mulder in The X Files, he was one of the heroes of one of the biggest TV shows of the 90s. Then as a personally disastrous writer in Californication he won a new legion of, less alien-obsessed fans in the 2000s.

Now Duchovny is turning novelist. His first book, Holy Cow, is a madcap story of a bovine on a road trip to India. We sat down with Duchovny to talk animals, S&M and further adventures in alien-hunting.

Netflix is always adding to it’s seemingly endless catalog of titles that stream, and one of the hidden gems available now is the hit Showtime series Californication.

The David Duchovny series was a hit when it aired and recently wrapped up its final season on the air this summer. Unlike some shows that take time to get their final seasons on to Netflix, Californication was rather quick in adding it’s name to the roster as all seven seasons of the show are now available to stream.

After six seasons on CALIFORNICATION, Madeleine Martin admits she was hoping to see the rebellious daughter of David Duchovny and Natasha McElhone finally meet her maker.

Californication Season on DVD

Californication: The Final Season:  The last 12 episodes of the Showtime comedy series continue the wild ride that has been the life of Hank Moody (David Duchovny). His portrayal of the flawed novelist has featured enough emotional highs and sexual lows to earn Duchovny a Golden Globe.

Through each season, Moody has tried to adjust to being a New Yorker in sunny California. It’s not been easy. The final season finds him in the writer’s room as his never-released feature film “Santa Monica Cop” has been turned into a television series. In typical Moody fashion, he has trouble getting along with the other writers.

David Duchovny Talks Wilco-Influenced Debut Album, Marilyn Manson Duet - July 2014

The actor also intends to put out his first book, a fable, next year

David Duchovny, who recently said goodbye to his show Californication, will be making a foray into music when he releases his debut album next year. And even though he recently tweeted a since-deleted picture of himself playing guitar with Marilyn Manson, he says his music would be more beautiful than "Beautiful People." "I can only compare my music to artists that you know, so it's going to sound like I'm bragging," the actor tells Rolling Stone. "But in my wildest dreams, I would sound like Wilco or R.E.M. I'd put it somewhere in there – if I'm lucky."

The sun set on Californication last night, after seven years of drug orgies and actual orgies. And finally, David Duchovny's character – the Bukowskian author Hank Moody, who took part in hilarious Dionysian fetes that would've made even Fellini wince – has gotten the bittersweet ending he deserved.

Variety David Duchovny Interview: Californication season 7 finale: Here's how Hank and Karen's story ended

WARNING: “Californication” fans who have not watched the series finale should stop reading. This interview with star David Duchovny contains spoilers about that episode.

After seven seasons of charting the booze-soaked escapades of writer-cum-lothario Hank Moody (David Duchovny in a role he was born to play), Showtime’s Emmy Award-winning series “Californication” comes to its fruitful end, awash in the sunny promises of happily-ever-after and the power of the epistolary proclamation of love.

Hank and Karen are back together. Again. At least for now.
