NEW YORK (AP) – Whether you remember him as FBI agent Mulder from “The X-Files” or the womanizing novelist Hank Moody on “Californication,” David Duchovny wants you to know him as something else: The 54-year old actor recently released his first album, “Hell or Highwater.”
The actor-director claims he’s never set out to do pursue a career in music. He credits his children for sending him in a new direction.
“I’m always telling them to try new things, but that’s BS because I don’t try new things,” he said.
So he took his own advice: He learned to play guitar and began writing and playing his own songs.
Recently, Duchovny sat down with the Associated Press to talk about the record, which was released this week, and “The X Files” sequel which Fox will roll out in January.
