Published: May 7, 2024, 7:05 a.m.

David Duchovny sits down with Guy to talk about his wide-ranging creative life. He describes the \u201cgut instinct\u201d that led him to drop out of a Yale literature program and pursue acting; his iconic roles as Agent Mulder in The X-Files and Hank Moody in Californication; why he writes novels and makes music; and embracing failure as a critical learning experience in life and work.

David\u2019s new podcast is called \u201cFail Better\u201d, and his film Bucky F*cking Dent comes out in June 2024.
