David Duchovny, the leading man in Showtime's hit Californication series, appears to have been taking his work home with him. The show centers on a disillusioned writer who soothes his career disappointments with compulsive sexual behavior.

According to People magazine, the 48-year-old performer has voluntarily entered a rehabilitation center for the sexually dependent.

True to his Californication character, the Yale-educated ham recently suffered a career disappointment with the tanking of the X-Files movie.

After publicly announcing his rehab commitment, the actor—who has been married to actress Tea Leoni since 1997—asked for "respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

The couple have two children, Madelaine West, 9, and Kyd, 6.

Plus any extra kids David might have strewn about in the throes of his affliction.
