David Duchovny is one of the most highly acclaimed actors in Hollywood. The star of FOX's hit "The X-Files," David Duchovny was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series, and he was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his highly acclaimed and some say risqué appearances on "The Larry Sanders Show" and "Sex And The City."

David Duchovny has been nominated for a total of three Golden Globes, three Screen Actors Guild Awards and a TV Critic's Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series.

David Duchovny brings a fierce intellect, a quiet intensity and an acerbic wit to his roles on both the small screen and the silver screen. From 1993 to 2002, millions of self-proclaimed "X-philes" spent their Sunday nights in wide-eyed anticipation as their hero, the brilliant and sullen FBI agent Fox Mulder (Duchovny), explored cases deemed unbelievable or unsolvable by the Bureau. David Duchovny's remarkable performance earned him the title of "Zeitgeist Icon" by Laura Jacobs in The New Republic and "the first Internet sex symbol with hair" by Maureen Dowd in The New York Times.

David Duchovny added the role of director to his already extensive list of accomplishments when he wrote, directed and starred in two critically acclaimed episodes of "The X-Files" and "Hollywood A.D.," starring Garry Shandling and Téa Leoni. David Duchovny made his feature directorial debut with "House Of D," which he also wrote and appeared in.
