I never would have guessed that David Duchovny was a method actor, but apparently playing the role of Hank Moody in Californication has gotten to his head. According to his lawyer Stanton “Larry” Stein, the former X-Files star recently checked into rehab for sex addiction.

I absolutely hated Duchovny during his X-Files days, but I’ve been a huge fan since I started watching Californication last year. His character, Hank Moody, is a smooth talker and best-selling author who struggles with a sex addiction, strange sexual triangles and a broken relationship with the the love of his life/mother of his daughter.

Does Duchovny really think that he’s Hank Moody? Is this all some sort of publicity stunt for the season premiere? Call my a conspiracy theorist, but I smell something fishy.
