#17 - David Duchovny
I must admit, I cannot help but admire an individual who is so comfortable with admitting his addiction to sex, that he simply must check himself into rehab. What I find even more surprising, is that there are rehab places for people addicted to sex. Sounds like a pretty easy place to pick up..... mental note made.

I think Duchovny makes this list based on the fact that his real life persona, closely reflects that of the role he reprised in 2008's second season of one of my favourite shows - Californication. The insights into the sordid affairs within Hank Moody's life, brought to us in Full HD on a weekly basis, can simply be classified as one of the most intriguing 30 minutes of television.

Never before has a show truly pushed the boundaries as fiercely as Californication does on a show-by-show basis bordering, in some cases, on softcore pornography. Hank's ongoing promiscuity, made even funnier by it's similarity to his real life, makes one cringe, but in one of those "that's funny" ways. The fact that in both show and life the Moody/Duchovny character has a 'foxy' partner to go home to, does detract from the hilarity of the scenario, however only briefly.

Whilst I don't condone promiscuity, cheating or sex addiction in any way, shape, or form, it would be unfair to deny David Duchovny the prestige of making my list. He has changed the world be spreading the word that an addiction to sex is nothing to be ashamed of. The hidden message is that addiction is something that can be fought, and beaten. A message the world needs.

So, before you do that next line, pick up the phone and give Promises or Wonderland a call.
