The star from “X-Files”, actor David Duchovny has a strange role in Showtime’s upcoming TV series “Californication”. He will play the role of a once promising writer whose only best work has turned into a silly but successful romantic comedy titled “A Crazy Little Thing Called Love”. Hank Moody has found himself rich and famous, but also suffering from writer’s block and living nothing else than a very messy life. So, although David Duchovny has said that “Californication” is in fact “about a guy trying to get his family back, really!” the show seems to focus mainly on the Hank Moody’s trying to self-destroy himself than get his family back together.

Moody is a drug addict, a womanizer and he is not even able to escape his writer’s block, but maybe Duchovny knows better what he’s been saying, as he is not only the star of the show, but also its producer.

So, Hank Moody’s life has started to become a mess when he has not been able to write anymore after publishing “God Hates Us All”. This is his only acclaimed masterpiece, which, however turns into a lightweight romantic comedy titled “A Crazy Little Thing Called Love”. Although he wasn’t expecting for this thing to happen, the silly comedy starring “Tom and Katie” makes him famous and very rich. But this won’t make him also happy. He is just floating through life and “he can’t say no to anything”, as David Duchovny says.

He will try to overcome his writer’s block and to be a real father for his daughter too. He will even try to win back her mother, who however has already engaged to another man. But all these moves seem to fail and Moody keeps on self-destructing.

“Californication” will premiere at 8:30 p.m. on Monday. “Californication” represents Duchovny’s return to series and to Showtime, where he first appeared about 15 years ago as the narrator of the “Red Shoe Diaries”. Duchovny has been also announced of shooting alongside Gillian Anderson another theatrical “X-Files” film this year.
