David Duchovny Steps Out Amid 'X-Files' Writers Controversy

David Duchovny is keeping silent about the recent X-Files writers controversy.

The 56-year-old actor was spotted while out and about on Friday afternoon (June 30) in Malibu, Calif.

Recently, David‘s X-Files co-star Gillian Anderson spoke out about the male-driven writing team on the show.

After news spread that the show’s reboot would use an all male writing team, Gillian mentioned that only 2 of of the series’ 207 episodes had been directed by women.

Gillian is hoping that by speaking out, she can make a different for future female writers and directors.

“I too look forward to the day when the numbers are different. #TheFutureisFemale,” Gillian wrote.
