David Duchovny gets his spook back on
Sometimes, David Duchovny’s wit cuts like a knife. Just ask Vancouverites who still recall how the actor created an uproar by mocking the city’s wet weather.
He was on the Conan O’Brien show chatting about filming The X-Files series there when he jokingly said, “Vancouver is a very nice place, if you like 400 inches of rainfall a day.”
Ten years after that gaffe, Duchovny grimaces a little when he’s asked about returning to the Canadian West Coast to film the latest X-Files movie, I Want To Believe, which opens Friday.
“Yeah, let me try to say this in a way that’s right,” he says while making quotation gestures around “right,” then adding sheepishly, “just doing those quotation marks will get me into trouble.”

X-Files Film Gets World Premiere
Hundreds of fans packed onto Hollywood Boulevard, many having queued overnight, to cheer on the welcome return of Mulder and Scully at the world premiere of The X-Files: I Want To Believe.
Lovers of the show, which first aired on TV in 1993, screamed and went crazy as David Duchovny arrived early to spend some time with the crowds. The actor was swiftly joined by actress Gillian Anderson, dressed in a blue satin dress that had been designed to fit snuggly around her tiny baby bump.
Speaking on the red carpet Gillian said it had been a pleasure to reunite with her former cast mate: “I think that our appreciation for each other has increased over the years. We’ve been in contact and we’ve gotten older, but I think we were both hugely excited to come back together again and it felt like a treat. Like I’m having an opportunity now to work with somebody, as opposed to ‘ehrrghhh another day, not again!’”
Look for a more mature Mulder in ‘X-Files’
BEVERLY HILLS – David Duchovny looks uncomfortable.
Having to face 200-plus reporters, bloggers and columnists in a darkened hotel ballroom is not the best way to discuss his sexually charged Showtime comedy series, “Californication.”
He’s sharing the stage with Mary-Louise Parker of “Weeds,” Michael C. Hall of “Dexter” and Jason Clarke of “Brotherhood” – all of whom also look uncomfortable in this painfully slow news conference during the Television Critics Association’s fall preview tour here.
Dressed in jeans, black shirt and black jacket and with his hair tussled and stubble on his face, Duchovny looks like his Hank Moody character: a burned-out, bed-hopping novelist who supplies the fornication in the title of the show.
