The actor loves his job, but would like to branch out into 글쓰기 and directing movies.

He has helmed several episodes of TV series The X Files and Californication, and also directed 2004 movie House of D. He has now decided to try his hand at penning a book, and has been working on one since late last year.

“I have been working on this script this past winter, and I think it is quite dense. I don’t know if it is a movie 또는 not,” he explained. “I hope it is, but I am also going to turn it into a novel, just in case.”

David is full of ideas for film scripts, and hopes some of them will make it onto the big screen. He admits his ideas aren’t for blockbuster movies, but is adamant they could still be successful.

“I have things in mind for 글쓰기 and directing, but the scripts I write seem to fall into this independent world, which I started veering towards as I was finishing The X Files, about 10 years ago,” he explained to British newspaper The Sunday Times. “And it is a hard world right now, when 당신 want to make the kind of 영화 I am writing. I think they could be popular, and could do business, but it’s hard to prove that at the script stage. At some point, I think somebody is going to take a chance and give me some money to make one.”
