Gillian Anderson was the most notable no-show at Duchovny’s Walk of Fame event, but she did send a letter that was read aloud, a mock eulogy that ended with her jokingly saying, “He’ll always be my shining star. That aside, he retains a reputation as a bit of a playboy and there continues to exist a prurient public interest in his private affairs. In 2008, he threatened to sue the Mail On Sunday over a story alleging he had an affair with a Hungarian tennis instructor, which both parties denied. His battle with sex addiction led him to check into a rehab facility in 2008, and his on-again, off-again marriage to fellow actor Téa Leoni, with whom he has two children, has made them both fodder for tabloid speculation. That fame offers a variety of perks, but it’s also a burden for someone as seemingly introverted as Duchovny. The 55-year-old has now been a globally recognised face since The X-Files premiered in 1993. To hear a guy go out there and say, ‘I love Dave.’ I felt exposed.”ĭuchovny has spent a major part of his life being exposed. It’s so hostile the way we communicate socially now, and so ironic and so meta and distant and multilayered. Listening there, I don’t know what Garry is going to say, and I hear him try to say heartfelt, loving things as a friend, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, he’s really trying to communicate, and that’s beautiful and ballsy.’ Because people are out of that habit. If you pull back a certain way, you want to just run. “To hear Garry go up there in this quite probably cheesy ceremony from another time – you know, campy, kitschy, in a crappy part of Hollywood – it could be just awful. “You know, we live in an ironic age,” he says. It is a fitting location in which to discuss one of the more artificial, touristy traditions of Hollywood, one about which Duchovny seems ambivalent. The entire building reeks of a pungent perfume, as though the staff were covering up an even more heinous smell. “You know, Garry can stand there and tell you I’m this or I’m that,” he says, “but that’s not really the narrative that’s out there, and that’s OK.”ĭuchovny’s hotel room is an ornate, whimsical pastiche of styles and patterns. In his slow, laconic drawl, he says it is. A few hours later, at a nearby hotel, I ask Duchovny if this is true. During the ceremony that follows, his friend, the comedian Garry Shandling, refers to him as a “sensitive, vulnerable guy”. Duchovny’s closest confidantes are here, too – X-Files creator Chris Carter, Californication co-star Pamela Adlon, his manager Melanie Green, his brother – but they’re outnumbered by the strangers, the autograph seekers, and the tourists who will stop anywhere they see a fence and some security guards in LA.ĭuchovny is a recovering sex addict and a famously private man. They are here to see David Duchovny, most famous for the newly resurrected science-fiction drama The X-Files, whose star is being unveiled on the Walk of Fame today. Carrying rolled-up copies of Variety magazine and holding up mobile phone cameras, they press their flesh as close to the metal barricade as possible.
Easily 10/10.A small crowd has gathered in front of the Fox theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. There are many other pluses for the episode. Morgan and Wong seem to have a certain group of actors that they love working with and in this episode the special actor happens to be the Sheriff played by Tucker Smallwood and he does a great job as always.

I also love during this scene how Mulder is so determined to watch TV that he is willing to watch some nature show with a terrible picture rather than just go to sleep. I love how it is dead silent through out the entire town and how the lack of music accentuates this and also gives more emphasis to the Jimmy Mathis song playing in the car. I think one of the creepiest scenes of any show that I have ever seen is the Peacocks going to the sheriffs house. And then if you get the DVD you can watch the stuff that got taken out. I guess we can just thank our lucky stars that it got past the censors in the first place. Every moment of this episode is disturbing and it is definitely no wonder that this got banned from television. "Home" has to be the best contribution that Morgan and Wong gave us for this show.
