Nowadays everyone knows David Duchovny. Even people who don't really watch movies know him from „Californication“ the TV series around Hank Moody that went to be a total success all around the globe and everyone who grew up in the 90s would never get Agent Mulder from „The X-files“ out of his mind. David Duchovny has a safe place in the hall of fame of TV stars but he also made it through in Hollywood. Who is that charismatic guy that a famous celeb website even called an „uber-sex god“ - for the record, we find that a bit exaggerated.
David Duchovny was born in Manhattan August 7th 1960 into a Jewish family. He went to Princeton and Yale later, worked on a Master's degree in English literature. Young Duchovny was no fool so to speak but some when the interest in acting took over and he dropped the whole thing to ... have you ever heard of the „Red shoe diaries“ series?
„Red shoe diaries“ was a TV erotic series that started up in 1992. David Duchovny was on board there from the first part released to the 18th in 2002. Now if that would not be a start to a serious acting career. He had caught a few small roles from 1988 to 1991 already but what really made him famous were the three episodes of „Twin peaks“ he starred in 1991.
From that he headed over directly to his role of a lifetime, our all time favorite, Mr Everybody-loves-him, Agent Fox Mulder. At total of 176 episodes, 4 movies and lots of video games and specials were released basing on „Spooky
Mulder“ and Dana Scully hunting for mysterious phenomenons at „The X-files“. A whole generation growing up with the series agreed later that 9 seasons were really enough for the latest movie from 2008 was kinda … boring.
But as mentioned from the start Duchovny also got famous with movies. For example there was “Evolution”, the sci-fi comedy from 2001 with Duchovny in a lead role. He was in “Zoolander” with Ben Stiller in 2001 and a handful of other movies in the last years.
But David Duchovny also successfully tried himself as a writer. He wrote 8 episodes of The X-Files and in 2004 the wonderful movie “House of D” .
“Californication” in 2007/2008 brought him back as a teeny idol and sex symbol and it seems he always grabs the right roles to make it up to the top again and again. This guy had a strange but kind of straight career and for that David Duchovny is one of our highly recommended actors!

that is so true
Fox Mulder was a person who lead a whole generation to this uncompromised search of truth, and brought back the whole mistery genre, probably being a premisse for the whole "alien movie" wave in the ninties
and even if Duchovny was not as successful on the big screen as the "other" tv actor Clooney, it is not because he is less talented, but just because he did not leave the show at the right time, and then suffred what is called "the seinfeld curse", because even nowadays it is hard to think of Hugh Laurie, leaving House M.D and becoming a big movie star.
