David Duchovny
Lyrics and Music by Bree Sharp
It's Sunday night; I am curled up in my room 
The TV light fills my heart like a balloon
I hold it in as best I can; I know I'm just another fan, 
But I can't help feeling I could love this secret agent man.....
And I can't wait any more for him to discover me. 
I got it bad for David Duchovny 
David Duchovny, why won't you love me, why won't 
you love me, why won't you love me? 
My friends all tell me, "Girl you know it's just
a show," but deep within his eyes I see me
wrapped up like a bow,
Watching the sky for a sign, the FBI's on my mind,
I'm waiting for the day when my lucky stars align 
In the form of David Duchovny, floating above me, 
in the alien light of the spaceship of love, oh, 
David Duchovny, hovering above me, American 
Heathcliff, brooding and coming, 
David Duchovny, why won't you love me, why won't
you love me, why won't you love me? 
So smooth and so smart, he's abducted my heart,
and I'm falling apart from the looks I've
received from those eyes; 
I can't believe, well you can say I'm naive, 
but he told me to believe...... 
Ooooooooo.... 
My bags are packed, I am ready for my flight,
Gonna put an end to my daydream days and
sleepless nights,
Sitting like a mindless clone, wishing he would
tap my phone, 
Just to hear the breath of the man, the myth, the monotone... 
And I would say
David Duchovny, why won't you love me, why won't
you love me, why won't you love me?
David Duchovny, why won't you love me, why won't
you love me, why won't you love me? 
David Duchovny, I want you to love me, to kiss
and to hug me, debrief and debug me,
David Duchovny, I know you could love me, I'm
sweet and I'm cuddly,
I'm gonna kill Scully!
David Duchovny, why won't you love me, why won't
you love me, why won't you love me?
Yeah....... 

Now why would you think that David Duchovny inspires such adulation?  I’ve seen him up close and personal on the set of “The X-Files” when I was an extra in season 2, The Red Museum episode in 1994.  He’s six feet tall, slender, and has a really big nose.  He wasn’t interested in talking to anyone who didn’t have a speaking part or who wasn’t the director or part of the crew.  He played Frisbee with his dog Blue between scenes in a farm field.  It’s not really David’s looks that make him interesting although he’s admittedly downright hot in his new series “Californication.”  Perhaps it is the fact that he’s got a big brain – holds degrees from Princeton and Yale – an amazingly dry, deadpan and wryly wicked sense of humour ("I'm frightened by the possibilities of my own lack of talent."), was nominated for an Emmy several times and won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a TV series. 

David Duchovny (which means “spiritual” in Russian) is a pop culture icon for playing Special Agent Fox Mulder in the long-running Sci-Fi thriller treasure that was “The X-Files” but he has managed not to get pigeon-holed and has appeared in just about every genre of film.  He can do it all: act convincingly on stage and in drama, comedy, sci-fi, horror and family films; write, produce and direct.  After two decades as a successful Hollywood actor, David Duchovny keeps getting more and more interesting to watch.

Born David William on August 7, 1960 in New York City to writer/publicist Amram and school administrator Margaret Duchovny ("I'm half Jewish, half Scottish. It's hard for me to buy anything."), he has a brother Daniel, sister Laurie and a stepbrother named Jonathan Sahula.  David has been married to the beautiful and talented Téa Leoni for ten years and together they have two children, 8 year old Madelaine West and five year old Kyd Miller.  David’s a vegetarian, a sports fan, speaks French, Latin and Hebrew and apparently does a mean impersonation of Jeff Goldblum.  The man is fascinating!

David got his break with a bit part in 1988’s “Working Girl” and hasn’t had much of a break since!  I first noticed him in the early 90’s when he appeared in the quirky television mini-series “Twin Peaks” as DEA cross-dressing Agent Dennis/Denise Bryson.  Although I missed his work on the “Red Shoe Diaries”, he won me over with his role in 1991’s “The Rapture” co-starring Mimi Rogers which was one of the most disturbing and challenging movies about faith I’ve ever seen.  Following “The Rapture”, David appeared in the family favourite “Beethoven”, Richard Attenborough’s “Chaplin”, the serial killer thriller “Kalifornia” co-starring a then little known Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis, and numerous episodes of “Red Shoe Diaries” before he struck solid gold in 1993 with “The X-Files.”  For me, and millions of X-Phile fans everywhere that intelligent, phenomenal series was the best thing on television for many years and we wait with anticipation for the next X-File movie, due out in 2009.  Although Duchovny will forever be best known for being Mulder, his work since the series finished in 2002 has been eclectic and noteworthy.

In 1997, David played Dr. Eugene Sands in the gangster movie “Playing God” co-starring Timothy Hutton and Angelina Jolie; in 2000, his friend Bonnie Hunt directed him and Minnie Driver in “Return to Me”; 2001 gave us two memorable amusing performances in “Evolution” and “Zoolander.”  David co-starred in Steven Soderbergh’s “Full Frontal” along side Julia Roberts and Catherine Keener, the 2004 Nia Vardalos scripted “Connie and Carla”, and wrote and directed his first feature film, the lovely gem “House of D” co-starring Anton Yelchin of “Huff”, Téa Leoni and Robin Williams.  I was recently pleased to discover “Trust The Man”, a 2005 romantic comedy starring Julianne Moore, Billy Crudup and Maggie Gyllenhaal.  David is also appearing in this year’s upcoming “Things We Lost In The Fire” opposite Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro.

What every Duchovny fan will be devastated to miss out on is the fabulous new HBO series “Californication” co-starring the stunning and gifted Natasha McElhone.  Now airing on The Movie Network, it is must see TV!  David has never been sexier or more sarcastic or irreverent in his role as the hard partying, promiscuous author with writer’s block, Hank Moody.  Watching Hank juggle his relationship with his agent, precocious 12 year old daughter and his ex-girlfriend who is her mother as well as his rapacious appetite for beautiful women is absolutely delicious and irresistible!  He has never seen so much action, shown so much of his naked butt or been better fun to watch!

A favourite on the talk show circuit, two-time guest host of Saturday Night Live, recurring guest on “Howard Stern” and “The Larry Sanders Show”, guest on “Frasier”, “The Simpsons”, “Life With Bonnie” and “Sex and the City” and a subject of the prestigious “Inside The Actor’s Studio”, David has never fallen from the Hollywood radar and isn’t likely about to.  He recently completed filming Vincent Perez’s horror flic “Si j’étais toi” (a.k.a. “The Secret”) with the wonderful Lili Taylor and of course, there will be that second X-Files film to look forward to in 2009.  In the meantime, don’t miss him on “Californication!”  Oh David Duchovny, why won’t you love me? www.duchovny.net.
