David Duchovny is a Method Actor

LOS ANGELES (AP) - David Duchovny has entered a rehabilitation facility for sex addiction. In a statement released Thursday by his lawyer, Stanton Stein, the actor said he did so voluntarily, adding: "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."
The actor's publicist, Flo Grace, confirmed the rehab report, which first appeared on People.com.

She and Stein both declined to elaborate further.

Duchovny, 48, plays a sex-obsessed character on the Showtime series "Californication," which earned Emmy nominations for casting and cinematography. The show's second season begins Sept. 28. Showtime had no comment Thursday.

The actor appeared in the film "The X Files: I Want to Believe" earlier this summer. He has been married to actress Tea Leoni since 1997. They have two children.
Californication indeed!

If I was married to Tea Leoni, I'd be a sex addict too but I don't think that is what this article implies...

Okay, I do NOT understand the logic of releasing a statement telling everyone that you're addicted to FUCKING and then bust out, "oh, but I want PRIVACY NOW, thanks y'all!". Are you kidding me?! I mean, he's not a huge celebrity anymore. This is hardly news. If you want privacy, why bother even telling anyone about it? Even if it had leaked out, it wouldn't even be the top story on ET, anyway, and we'd be back on Amy Winehouse death watch in two days.

You underestimate the ego of an attention craving male celebrity. I know a lot of guys who would treat having to be admitted to a rehabilitation center to keep him from fucking as a badge of honor. Of course, they also pay for their dates' dinners, if that speaks to their character at all.

He should have announced this before X-Files 2, might have brought in another million or 2.
Or not.

Still, they could have used the publicity. I'm sure Chris Carter is thinking the same thing right about now.

A couple of reasons...

It was the most recent picture available (it was from a UK paper a day or two ago with regards to him swimming in some charity thing I believe) and it adds more comedy to the article since the wetsuit is telling, if ya know what I mean.

Weren't there rumors about this before he got married? Personally, my hat is off to him if he's been living with this horrible affliction for more than a decade. Be strong, David!

Yeah, it must suck to be a pretty successful actor with a hot wife and a lot of female fans and wanting to get laid all the time. Poor, poor bastard.

There is no known cure for this disease. All he can do is treat the occasional outbreaks with excessive beat-off sessions. God be with him.

Treating having a lot of sex as some sort of affliction instead of reveling in it spits in the face of the demographic that made him a star.

Bad form Duchovny, bad form.

Not disagreeing with you and I would hardly be surprised if the intent of the statement was to keep Duchovny 'relevant,' but I also feel like it might just be his publicist's impotent attempt at controlling his image. If they didn't come out with it, it might come off like he's trying to keep it secret or something. So they just come out with it instead of coming off like they're hiding something.

Maybe like his character in The Rapture he'll find Jesus. And marry Mimi Rogers. And then get shot by a disgruntled employee.

Or maybe I just watch too many movies.

Californication does not seem to be a good show, but making out with a new naked person every week seems like a bad way to battle your sex addiction.

If his character suddenly stops sleeping with everyone, that might make him interesting. Duchovny always has this Richard Gere-esque look of entitlement and light arrogance on his face... although that never seems to go away, he seems like a nice person in interviews and some of his choices (Larry Sanders, Twin Peaks, TV Set, Zoolander) have been pretty tasteful.

Being celebrity chasing reporters being what they are, someone would have gotten a hold of the information that Duchovny entered rehab. So then questions would be asked, and a bigger controversy and rumor mill will begin. Duchovny's agent would have to then respond anyhow. So, by pre-emptively just saying that he's going into rehab for sex addiction, he kills speculation that it might be drugs or something he was trying to hide.

So not a bad move on his part. And he also gets a lot of people talking about his junk (again). So it's a win-win.

How can you work alongside Scully all those years and NOT be a sex-addict?

And what makes someone a sex-addict instead of the more commonly used nomenclature of "average male"? Opportunity?

Sounds like it might be a pornography addiction. The fact he issued a press release makes me skeptical that the issue is rampant infidelity (or wouldn't we be seeing a simultaneous divorce filing?).

Wasn't Mulder a porn addict too? Maybe Duchovny isn't capable of acting and they just film whatever he happens to be doing at the given time.

Not necessarily. They have kids and shit, so they might be trying to work it out for the children's sake.

Possible. But it seems like they'd be in full bore "privacy" mode if he was cheating. Pornography addictions, while real, probably won't have quite the same stigma.

Chapter 5: Tea Leoni, Why Won't You Blow Me?

I awake with sticky eyes and a mouth that tastes like a freshly-paved road. I realize I have the day off, and sigh contentedly; I can get some shopping done, maybe take in a movie. David's off on a X-Files junket, giving my tenderized pelvis some time to recuperate. Opening my eyes the first thing I see is David, hovering over me.
"Morning, Teacup", he coos with madness in his eyes and a tent in his khakis. "I'm David Duchovny, it's time to love me!" And then...the insistent prodding begins.

Meth and internet porn go together like Corvettes and open containers of Jack Daniels.

EDIT more than two months later:

I'm not entirely sure what that is supposed to mean, but I guess it struck me as funny at the time; I blame the heat.
