Life imitates art for Duchovny

LOS ANGELES — David Duchovny has entered a rehabilitation facility for sex addiction.

In a statement released yesterday 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.”

Duchovny, 48, plays a sex-obsessed character on the Showtime Series “Californication.”
The show’s second season begins Sept. 28.

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.
