He describes the “gut instinct” 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’s new podcast is called “Fail Better”, and his film Bucky F*cking Dent comes out in June 2024.Links from the Show: David’s new podcast, “Fail Better”IMDb: Bucky F*cking DentDavid’s booksLive performance of his song Layin’ on the TracksDavid’s music on SpotifyDavid Duchovny Breaks Down His Career, from 'The X-Files' to 'Californication' | Vanity FairMalice, the show David was shooting in London at the time of this recording:For more conversations like this – with guests ranging from Hilary Swank to Diplo – go to https://www.thegreatcreators.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.31:T4c3,Recorded 2 October 2021. David Wayne Fox is an artist in just about every possible sense of the word. He is a Texas native who currently resides in New York, and while his primary passion at the moment is his photography, he has also engaged in the creative pursuits of acting, visual arts (i.e. painting), music (composition, production, etc.), filmmaking, and more. We discuss various aspects of the artistic and creative process, how the pandemic awakened our creative and entrepreneurial sides despite the state of mass depression and hysteria it seems to have induced upon the world and ourselves at times, various creative figures and creative works that we admire, and the value of authenticity. David celebrated his 60th birthday on 30 January 2022, and his life experience was fascinating for me to listen to in regards to entrepreneurship and many other insights on the various topics we discussed, and I hope it will be for you as well.
