I think that’s really, really interesting!"
From her childhood avoiding the spotlight to her burgeoning acting career, this is the transformation of West Duchovny.
We’ve always loved each other, and we adore these kids," Leoni toldParadein 2014.
Of course, no famous family is immune to negative headlines.
In 2008, West’s father went to rehab for a sex addiction amid strain in his marriage.
He was also publicly accused of having an affair, an allegation he vehemently denied.

And West will confirm that her parents' careers were of no matter to her.
When asked about their jobs byWWD, West said, “I didn’t really care about it.
It was my parents' thing.
That’s not my life.'”
And his child having little concern for his career doesn’t matter to David Duchovny, either.
‘, and I’m like, ‘I don’t understand that question.
I don’t care.
I’m proud of them.
I’m watching them.
I couldn’t give a s**t if they watch me."
West’s first paid acting role wasn’t until 2018, well after she was out of childhood.
And West appreciated it.
But West might’ve been too focused on other issues to care as intensely about sports as her father.
In fact, her parents tried to deter her from pursuing the craft as a career.
And up until college, the “Painkiller” star had every intention of following that advice.
And not just for fear of disappointing her parents she had other dreams.
“I had never felt that way about anything.
I never loved anything I had tried so effortlessly.
I felt like I had been pushing myself to love school and love academics.
“Now I’ll call her if I want advice they’re both super supportive now.
I think it just took them a little bit to take me seriously.
Because it felt so random.
West appeared in Season 11, Episode 10 of the show, and she played the character Maddy.
That reality, though, is something David seems to have been surprised by.
As West told Schon!
of her decision to act, “My parents were shocked.
They were like, ‘Oh my God.
That came out of left field what’s happening?’
So I think that’s kind of where he was at.”
Unfortunately, the pilot was canceled before making it to air.
The small projects Duchovny acted in weren’t totally in vain.
Another advantage Duchovny has had her entire career is being able to seek guidance from her parents.
But filming “Linoleum” wasn’t exactly smooth sailing for Duchovny and the entire cast.
Filming took place amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which undoubtedly brought about several challenges.
The actor gushed over the dedication each person working on set had to the project.
While Duchovny was quite optimistic about “Saint X,” the critics weren’t quite on board.
The series didn’t score well on Rotten Tomatoes, and there was little hype about it online.
Still, Duchovny relished the opportunity and appreciated her character.
Duchovny found the role rewarding in multiple ways.
Duchovny also got positive feedback from critics for her performance.
Overall the role was positive for Duchovny.
I want people to be angry.”
Fortunately for West, she made a good impression on those she worked with on one of her projects.
And Newman isn’t the only person who believes in her.
“My daughter West is acting.
She majored in English in college, just like I did.
I’m always scared of anybody I love getting into acting.
Especially a child of mine.
It’s fun for me to explore.”
We’ll be watching to see what West Duchovny explores next.
