GUITAR AFICIONADO   Trouble seeing this email?     Top Story - June 04, 2015     SUPER NATURAL: Actor David Duchovny suppressed his musical ambitions until a guitar brought out his hidden talents as a singer-songwriter.

Duchovny has also appeared in a dozen other television shows and more than 30 movies where he often specialized in bringing quirky, off-center characters to life.
