David Duchovny, who plays a sex-obsessed character on Showtime's "Californication," has entered a rehabilitation facility for sex addiction.
The 48-year-old actor said he did so voluntarily, in a statement released Thursday by his lawyer, Stanton Stein. He added: "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."
Duchovny's publicist, Flo Grace, confirmed the report, which first appeared on the Web site People.com. She and Stein both declined further comment.
"All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time," the network said in a statement.
The second season of "Californication" begins Sept. 28.
Duchovny starred as the conspiracy-minded Fox Mulder on "The X-Files" TV series and in two films. "The X-Files: I Want to Believe" opened in theaters earlier this summer.
He and his wife, actress Tea Leoni, have two children. The couple married in 1997.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

For the sake of his marriage, which had long been touted as a strong one and something positive, I pray Duchovny can get his act together. I always admired this actor and the choices he made. It sounds like he "went Hollywood," and this disappoints me.

He's like one of my favorite actors. I wish him the best. I wonder if he read Choke by Chuck Palahniuk.

Maybe this is a case of not being able to get out of character? If he cheated on Tea Leoni, I'll never forgive him...

"No, honey, I haven't been cheating on you. Would you believe it, I'm a sex addict? You do? Ok, yeah, that's right, sex addict. I start therapy next week...hair of the dog, they call it, if you'll excuse the expression. See you next week. Love you. Oh, one more thing. Wear something flimsy."

"Sorry baby. But I accidentally went back to this person's house, accidentally had a few drinks, and accidentally had sex with them. I just couldn't control my impulses"
It's ridiculous

Newsflash: Anger management class enrollment peaks after fisticuffs break out at conference of addiction experts confounded by Duchovy's most recent admission that he always downs a couple of scotches before having sex, then stuffs himself to bursting at the buffet, and winds up in the casino playing blackjack.

Somebody tell me WHY oh WHY is this in the news? TMI! I could care less what his addictions are. I'm sorry for his and his family's misfortune, but, why do I need to know this?

So i'm asuming that he cheated on his wife, right? i mean what woman would have problem with their husband wanting to have sex too much, especially if is David. Too bad for them though, i just love them both. they're both gorgeous.
