[edit] Opening Statement

Someone wrote the following sentence in the opening statement for this article: "He is one of the most gifted actors to ever grace film and television screens, carrying roles with such ease." Not that I necessarily disagree, but shouldn't this be changed to better reflect a netural point of view? ChrisMofNS (talk) 18:19, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interview with Duchovny...

There's a good interview with David Duchovny here that I thought would make a good inclusion to his page. Includes information about the actor, as well as his experience as a writer and director.

I read in the news that he's going to be in another X-Files Movie. Rumour, speculation...? -71.224.24.99 03:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joke or typo?

In "Career" it lists that he starred in an Episode of "Sex and the City" and was the "... high-school X-boyfriend who has commited..."

Should that be "ex-boyfriend"? I didn't want to just change it and have it be some sort of "Sex and the City" inside joke (referring to "The X-Files," obviously) or something... Grfnkmp 15:52, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Member of the SCA

Duchovny is not the person known as Earl Gregory Ahearn in the Society for Creative Anachronism. "The Quarter", cited as the source for naming Duchovny as a member, is a satirical publication, much as "The Onion" is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.80.211.158 (talk • contribs)

You could be right. The Quarter is considered a parody newsletter, somewhat, but it also seems to have some legitimate role for the SCA. As for that particular article, it's hard to tell whether or not it's meant to be taken seriously. I'm not too familiar with the SCA myself so maybe someone else can shed some light on this.

I have been a member of the SCA for 20+ years. If you look at the cited page of The Quarter, you will see that they also "reveal" other celebrity members of the SCA to be Bernie Kopell (The Love Boat), Brian O'Halloran (Clerks), and Kevin Smith (Silent Bob). It's just a joke -- note that at the top of the page, The Quarter bills itself as "Trimaris' Perfectly Period Parody Publication", and states that it's "not an official publication of Trimaris or the SCA." The only role it serves is to poke gentle fun at the members of the SCA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.80.211.158 (talk) 03:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I knew about the slogan and I looked at the cited page. I don't really see much evidence of it being a joke though. A lot of my feeling has to do with the fact that nothing on that page seems particularly funny, or even trying to be funny. You can remove the statement if you like; I don't feel strongly either way. I just hope others that know something about this will comment.
