David Duchovny is heading to Showtime for a new show called ‘Californication’. He is set to play Hank Moody, a novelist, who is promiscuous and a bit of a drunk. Duchovny said he wanted to play a guy who, with his faults, you still root for and can relate to. Showtime’s Press Release stated, “[Hank's] obsession with truth-telling and self-destructive behavior — drinks, drugs and relationships — are both destroying and enriching his career.”

The show co stars costars Natascha McElhone (The Truman Show), Madeleine Martin (Hope & Faith), Madeline Zima (The Nanny) and Evan Handler (Sex and the City). ‘Californication’ debuts in August.
