David Duchovny in Sex Addiction Treatment

Duchovny has been married since 1997 to actress Tea Leoni, with whom he has a 9-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "X-Files" star David Duchovny, who currently plays a womanizing writer on the cable television series "Californication," said on Thursday he has entered a facility for treatment of sex addiction.

Duchovny, 48, sprang to fame starring as the conspiracy-minded FBI agent Fox Mulder on Fox network's paranormal thriller "The X-Files," which spawned two big-screen spinoffs, one of which ran in theaters this summer.

He has been married since 1997 to actress Tea Leoni, with whom he has a 9-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son.

"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction," he said in a statement released through his lawyer, Stanton "Larry" Stein. "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

There were no further details in the statement, which was first reported on the Web site of People magazine, people.com.

In January, he won a Golden Globe Award as best comic actor for playing an oversexed single dad and novelist struggling with writer's block in the Showtime series "Californication."

"Californication" "sex addiction" "sprang to fame" "spawned"

Coincidental use of tawdry words? I think not.

How can someone have a sex addiction? Of all the addictions I've heard of, this one strikes me as the oddest. Honestly, how does one become addicted? Again, not trying to be a smart a** here... I'm genuinely baffled by this.
