Showtime ‘Californication’ David Duchovny Compares Oliver Cooper Finale Season 7 to ‘X-Files’; Records New Album

As Showtime's Californication is drawing to a close after the 2014 Season 7 final finale, the feelings of closure are much easier for actor/director David Duchovny to appreciate compared to X-Files' finale after an even more impressive 9 year run. Oliver Cooper, who plays Hank Moody's long-lost boy this year, opened up about how much he enjoyed playing son to hot mama Heather Graham on the show. Now that Dave has a little more free-time, he has plans to record an album with his brand new band.

David Duchovny has played Hank Moody for the last time in 7 years, since Showtime's series Californication wrapped last August.

In an interview with Time Magazine Duchovny admits that it was much easier enjoying the end of this ride, than it was when The X-Files finally ended:

"By the time we were finishing [on The X-Files], I was really ready and eager to move and show that I could do other things, that I wasn't just going to do this thing.

"So there wasn't as much gratitude as I might have had, and looking back I wish I'd had that. I wanted to get out of there. I think we all did.

"And now, being older, I just try to appreciate things in the moment and be grateful in the moment. I think I was more present for the ending of this one."

Series newcomer Oliver Copper told The Wrap in a similar interview that, what he will miss most from the show is pretending that Heather Graham is still his mom:

"She's the nicest person you could ever meet. She's amazing.

"We had nice chemistry because she came on the show the same way I did.

"People had been working together for seven years but we didn't know the rest of the cast personally, so we went out to lunch to get to know each other...We had chemistry right off the bat."

Now that David has some time on his hands before he starts work on NBC's new 60's era crime drama Aquarius, he is planning to put out a new record with his garage band.

David told RTE that and his friends were putting something together that they hoped to take into a recording studio:

"I play every Sunday night with my (buddies)...I kind of teach myself (the guitar) and they teach me. I've been writing music. Maybe next month we'll record.

"I'm trying to sing better. I write my own songs so I get to sing them."

No matter what happens...it couldn't possibly be as bad 30 Seconds to Mars.
