David Duchovny, renowned for his role in *The X-Files*, has shared insights into his decision to join the cast of the upcoming drama *Malice*, which premieres on Prime Video. The six-part thriller follows the affluent Tanner family, who, while on holiday in Greece, hire a captivating nanny named Adam, played by Jack Whitehall. Unbeknownst to them, Adam harbors a hidden agenda that threatens to dismantle their lives.
Duchovny portrays Jamie Tanner, the head of the Tanner family. As the release date for *Malice* approaches, he revealed that his motivation extended beyond the engaging script. “I’d be lying if I said coming to Greece wasn’t part of the reason because I’ve never been here, and it’s figured prominently in my thinking for my entire life,” he remarked.
Exploring Greece and Its Rich History
The actor expressed a deep connection to Greek culture, citing his childhood fascination with Greek mythology. He stated, “I loved Greek mythology as a kid: it’s the whole basis of Western civilization, thought, literature, poetry, and music.” Despite a packed filming schedule that limited his exploration of Greece, Duchovny remains optimistic about experiencing the country in the future.
He added, “My son is here now [in Greece], and he’s interested in archaeology, so we will explore together. I’m going to have him go out to the Despotiko island where we shot against the ruins.” This upcoming adventure showcases his enthusiasm for both family bonding and cultural discovery.
A Busy Schedule Ahead
At 65, Duchovny continues to expand his portfolio with a variety of projects lined up following the release of *Malice*. He is set to appear in the comedy-drama *See You When I See You*, alongside Kaitlyn Dever, as well as in the miniseries *Truly Like Lightning*, the thriller *Unearthed*, and the horror film *Young Men*.
*Malice* promises to be an engaging watch, available on Prime Video, showcasing the complexities of family dynamics intertwined with suspense and intrigue.
