David Duchovny Apologizes to 'X-Files' Co-Star Gillian Anderson for Strained Relationship During Show

The two actors played FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully on the hit series for 11 seasons.

Duchovny's apology comes after Anderson spoke out about the difficulties she faced working with him on the show.

David Duchovny has apologized to his former "X-Files" co-star Gillian Anderson for the strained relationship they had during the show's 11-season run.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Duchovny said he was "deeply sorry" for the way he treated Anderson during their time working together.

"I was not always the kindest or most supportive partner to her," Duchovny said. "I was often self-absorbed and unaware of the impact my words and actions had on her."

Anderson has previously spoken out about the difficulties she faced working with Duchovny on the show.

In a 2013 interview with The Guardian, Anderson said she felt "controlled" and "policed" by Duchovny during their time working together.

"I felt like I was being constantly judged and criticized by him," Anderson said.
