David Duchovny talks X-Files, sports fandom and Bucky F*ing Dent | Petros And Money | AM 570 LA Sports

youokay-mulder:

David Duchovny is best-known for his golden globe-winning performances on The X-Files and Californication, but his career has also included a wide-array of ventures ranging from directing and producing to writing.

Duchovny’s newest novel, “Bucky F*ing Dent”, is a father-son tale that draws its name from the lesser-known Yankees Player that crushed the Red Sox in a 1978 playoff game. On Tuesday, Duchovny joined Petros and Money to discuss the book, his sports fandom and the similarities, if any, between himself and Hank Moody from Californication.

And, of course, Duchovny touched on his continued work on The X-Files more than two decades after the iconic science fiction drama originally aired.

Below is an excerpt of what Duchovny had to say about why he keeps coming back to The X-Files series.

“First of all, I think the show is great, the frame is great and the characters are great,” Duchovny said. “But that wouldn’t be enough to just keep coming back over and over again. What I figured out the last time is it’s a very interesting challenge for any actor. I think it’s unique for [co-star Gillian Anderson] and I to be able to play the characters over so many years. I can’t play [Fox Mulder] the same way I played him 20 years ago. It would be obscene in a way, it just wouldn’t fit. So you ask: How do I play the same guy 20 years later? It’s an interesting question.”

David Duchovny Q&A in Seattle

*these are not exact, not all questions or full answers are included*

Lately it’s Always December is least played at concerts, why?

“It’s a slow song. It’s a hard song to play. Ask Tom.”

My daughter wanted me to ask if you prefer book writing or song writing?

“She’s still on facetime? Tell her to go do her homework or something! They’re two different things…” (my mother handed him her book, “Facing the Talk: Conversations With My Four Daughters About Sex”) “My daughter’s 18. I don’t know if we’re there. Maybe we’ll see how badly I fucked up”

Who did you write the rain song for?

“A person… Hey Colin! Are we doing The Rain Song in Seattle? We are.”

*didn’t hear question clearly*

“I never thought I’d be writing songs…”

Someone asked about some sort of slippers or shoes??

David had no idea what they were talking about… Someone handed him the shoes. “Maybe I’ll put these on, kick my feet up and read that book.”

Who’s on your top five?

“It’s private. I’ll tell you my top five boys… *starts naming off band members*”

What are your favorite cities or some that have surprised you?

“I love the Northwest… I’ve spent some time up here filming… Haven’t spent much time in Seattle… I think I filmed a pick up game here… (something about the rain…) I love the West Coast of the United States of America. I loved Oregon, hadn’t been to Portland before. Seattle was the first concert on this tour to be sold out.”

Which did you enjoy filming more? Californication or The X Files?

…It depended on my mood. The X Files was very difficult.

You wrote for both of them…

“I never wrote for Californication… I directed both The X-Files and Californication. Californication was more fast paced.”

Joke’s on you David, I’m a responsible adult and got all my homework done on Friday night.
