10 Actors Who Haven't Made A Good Movie In YEARS

David Duchovny has a uniquely laid-back temperament as an actor that could be so easily mistaken for laziness yet absolutely isn't - it's extremely hard to make acting look that natural and, dare one say, effortless.

Though Duchovny never made a major leap from TV to film following the success of The X-Files, he has nevertheless appeared in a number of genre films - primarily comedies - over the last 20 years.

In the last year alone Duchovny has appeared in three films - The Bubble (21%), The Estate (30%), and You People (42%) - following the woefully misguided The Craft: Legacy (48%) back in 2020.

Sadly none of these movies had much to offer the actor, who has largely been coasting on forgettable projects like this since his last acclaimed project - the Showtime TV series Californication, for which he received a Golden Globe award in 2008.

In the film stakes, Duchovny's last decent movie was The Joneses, which scraped a barely-Fresh 62% back in 2009, and it's Hollywood's loss, because they're sleeping on a major talent right here.
