LOS ANGELES – For David Duchovny, it’s a case of real life imitating reel life. The actor, whose Golden Globe winning role as sex-loving novelist in TV series "Californication", has checked himself into rehabilitation for sex addiction.

The 48-year-old, who became a household name after his role as Special Agent Fox Mulder in "The X-Files", has admitted to his sex addiction in a released statement from his attorney.

Duchovny said in the statement, "I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction. I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

Duchovny has been married to actress Tea Leoni since 1997, and they have two children together.

The second X-Files movie - "The X-Files: I Want to Believe", released this year after a long hiatus of 15 years, had a poor showing at the box office. Duchovny and co-star Gillian Anderson had claimed that the timing of the film release coincided with the much anticpated "The Dark Knight", affecting the movie’s performance at the box office.
