David Duchovny believes he’s a writer at heart. And though the Golden Globe Award winner has reached a level of success in Hollywood that would presumably eclipse his proficiency in any other art form, he has a point. After developing a love of books in high school, Duchovny was off to Princeton, and then Yale, to pick up a master’s in English literature. This before ever trying his hand at acting, let alone starring as the enthusiastic Fox Mulder in The X-Files. Duchovny has also written five books, including one that grew into the new film Reverse the Curse, in which he stars. On this week’s episode of Table for Two, the multi-talented Duchovny sits down with host Bruce Bozzi and discusses his favorite authors, the three stars he had to introduce himself to, and the inspiration behind his podcast, Fail Better.
