David Duchovny BiographyDavid William Duchovny is an award-winning actor best known for his role as FBI agent Fox Mulder on The X-Files, which aired throughout the 1990s.
Duchovny was born on August 7, 1960, in New York City, New York. His father, Amram, was a writer while his mother, Margaret, was a teacher. He has two siblings: Daniel and Laurie. Growing up, Duchovny attended The Collegiate School for Boys located in Manhattan, where he played on the varsity basketball team with the hopes of winning a scholarship before an injury to his eye sidelined his athletic career.
Duchovny went on to graduate from Princeton University, New York, where he was a member of the Charter Club. He then obtained his Master’s degree in English literature from Yale University and was just shy of receiving his Ph.D. before he dropped out. While attending Yale he was classmates with actress Jennifer Beals, whom he recommended for a role on The X-Files.
While attending Yale, Duchovny began commuting to New York City to take acting classes and soon began starring in off-Broadway plays. He chose to leave school just before graduating in order to pursue acting full time.
Duchovny’s career began when he landed a part in a Lowenbrau beer advertisement in 1987. He then received a recurring role as a DEA agent on the series,Twin Peaks, which starred Kyle MacLachlan. In 1993, Duchovny landed the role on the sci-fi series The X-Files, which made him a star, alongside Gillian Anderson. The series became the first big hit on FOX Networks and soon led Duchovney to a starring role in The X-Files movie in 1998. Duchovny married actress Tea Leoni on May 6, 1997, and she gave birth to their first daughter, Madelaine West on April 24, 1999. Their second child, Kyd Miller, was born on June 15, 2002. They currently reside in Malibu, California.
Duchovny remained on the show until the series finale in 2002 when he claimed a contractual dispute; he filed a $25 million lawsuit against producers of The X-Files claiming that he was cheated out of his share of profits from the show.
While still working on The X-Files, Duchovny caused a controversy when the show moved its filming location to Vancouver, , to Los Angeles, California , in 1998. Although residents of Vancouver claim he was poking fun at the city, Duchovny maintains that the only reason he requested the show be moved to Los Angeles was because his wife lived and worked in LA.
In 2006 David did voiceover work for Pedigree brand dog food commercials. In October 2008, after a brief stint in rehab for alleged 'sex obsession', David discovered his wife Tea had been involved with Angelina Jolie's ex husband, Billy Bob Thornton. David immediately filed for divorce. YUDDY |
