From his first "real" role as transvestite DEA Agent Denise/Dennis Bryson in "Twin Peaks" (1990)...
Doesn't Mr. Duchovny look sexy as a woman?
to Kalifornia (1993) with Brad Pitt where David plays a journalist researching serial killers - most excellent show to, of course, his 8 year plus two full-length movies of Special Agent Fox Mulder of the X-Files.
I purchased this Californication - Season One DVD set sight unseen and was, again, very pleased with his performance and the writing of the show.
It is awesome to see David successfully play a character that has nothing to do with the FBI or guns but I do miss the suit. He looks very good in a suit. Some sex scenes can be a little much at first but beyond that there is an excellent storyline that you will want to follow like a good book that you can't put down and given the title, obviously, sex plays a BIG part in the series and does tie into the continuous story without the show being all about sex.
When I received the DVD set, I watched the complete two-disc set (6 episodes each) in one weekend. Last night I re-watched the pilot with commentary from David Duchovny (actor and producer), Stephen Hopkins (director) and Tom Kapinos (writer and creator) which is definitely worth listening too. Lastly, the soundtrack also rocks which can be downloaded from ITunes or purchased on-line. Check it out!
Sidebar: In case you haven't noticed, and even the casual Duchovny viewer has, David likes soft-porn. Have you seen this X-File promo photo?
Also his work on The Red Shoe Diaries (1992), and his backside nude scenes in both this DVD set and Kalifornia suggest that if he did not become a "serious" actor turned director and producer, he would have made a flick with Pamela Anderson... maybe he still will.
So, I recommend purchasing/watching Showtimes Californication and Hank Moody if you are a fan of David and material that deals and shows sex in every episode. You can view clips of the show at http://www.sho.com/site/californication/home.do
Happy Viewing!

Californication, also a good show I watch. Hope season two is too delayed due to the unexpected death of the real husband of Natascha McElhone.
My understanding is that the filming is done and will begin Sept 22. When reality collides with 'Hollywood', it must be devastating for all involved. I like Natascha as an actor. I hope everything works out.
I am currently watching the boxset of Six Feet Under - another great show - and I learned through the directors/producers' commentary that Kellie Waymire died while the show was still on HBO. She died of cardiac arrhythmia at only 36 years old. Moreover, it is ironic that it happened on a show that centers on death.
