A native New Yorker, Duchovny attended Yale University, where he received a graduate degree in English literature to prepare for a career as a teacher.  While at Yale, he began commuting to New York to study acting and was soon appearing in off-Broadway plays.   In 1987, in the midst of his doctoral studies, he left Yale to pursue acting full time.

Before THE X-FILES, Duchovny was probably best known for his memorable portrayal of Dennis/Denise, the transvestite detective in the television series "Twin Peaks," and for his performance opposite Mimi Rogers in the acclaimed feature film "The Rapture."  His most recent feature films are "Playing God," and the first feature film version of "The X-Files."

Duchovny's other feature film credits include leading roles in "Chaplin," "Beethoven," "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead," "Kalifornia" and the critically acclaimed "Julia Has Two Lovers."   Duchovny was also the host of cable's "The Red Shoe Diaries."  He has made two guest appearances on "The Larry Sanders Show," and on "Space: Above and Beyond."  He also did voiceover appearances on "The Simpsons" and "Duckman."

He is married to actress Tea Leoni much to the dismay of many female fans.
