David Duchovny is Addicted to Sex
|
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- 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.
