Nov 5, 2023 · “If I'm acting and directing, I usually like playback because if the camera’s moving I don't know exactly what it caught,” Duchovny explains. “But I don't need it as an actor, I feel it actually slows things down a lot and makes you feel you've done something when you haven't.

Big year academically: You had just graduated from Princeton with an AB in English, you had the honorable mention for a college prize from the Academy for American Poets. At this point in your life, where did you think you were heading? If we’re going to go back to college let’s also put in Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. [Cheers.] No, I didn’t...
Working Girl is one of your first minor roles where you’re kind of a slick haired yuppy, which you later played in Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead and Beethoven. What do you remember about this time in your life? What were some of your fears? What was the leap like from academia to acting? I was doing a lot of auditions. Twin Peakswas the only...
When you landed the role of Special Agent Denise Bryson on Twin Peaks, did you feel like things were starting to turn around? No, it was really with The Rapture. When I got The Rapture, which was a role that a lot of people at that time wanted, they weren’t going to go with a name. So a lot of young actors wanted that role. It was a hot script. It ...
With The X-Files, producer Frank Spotnitz has previously stated you brought a lot of character ideas to Fox Mulder. What were some of your earliest contributions? I remember — and I teased Chris [Carter] about this over the years, and this will date the pilot script — is that the description of Mulder was more MTV VJ then FBI agent. And I’d say to ...
Photo by Moviestore/REX/Shutterstock One of the funniest bits of The Larry Sanders Show was your ongoing man crush with Garry Shandling, a gag you actually carried over into The X-Files. Did you two ever discuss doing something for Californication? Garry use to visit us on the set, and I talked to Tom Kapinos from time to time about trying to figur...
Return to Meis one of the most underrated romantic comedies of the last 20 years. Why you think Bonnie Hunt hasn’t written and directed since? That’s an excellent question. Bonnie is really a unique comic voice. You talk about women directors, Bonnie Hunt, to me, should be way up above Nancy Meyers, who’s directing supposed romantic comedies. I see...
You tried your own hand at writing and directing with House Of D, which starred the late Robin Williams and Anton Yelchin. Have you revisited it recently? I haven’t watched House Of Din awhile. I think it has the flaws of any kind of first movie. It was a personal, kind of a smaller film. A film that I’m surprised got made at all, because it’s real...
Enter Hank Moody, another Golden Globe-winning role of yours. Originally, Californicationwas supposed to be a movie, right? I think Tom Kapinos , he had started writing it as a movie. He had about 50 pages, or maybe half the movie, and he kind of set it aside because he was trying to write pilots. His wife Megan said, as he was pitching ideas to he...
In 2015 , you published your first novel (Holy Cow: A Modern-Day Dairy Tale) and you recorded your first album (Hell or Highwater). Are there any other art forms that you wish you could have explored, or that you still want to explore? By now, you’ve done pretty much everything. I’d like to write and direct a play, but I don’t have anything happeni...
Looking back, if you could have ended The X-Filesat any given time — so from where you are now to the beginning — is there a point that you felt like, “Yeah, this is good, this is enough, we can fade to black, I think we did it”? Or have you always wanted it to keep going? Well, I left at the end of the eighth year and I felt like I was done with t...
