Maybe David Duchovny finds himself in rehab for sex addiction because he took method acting to the extreme, or maybe Californication's frequent bouts with depravity -- Hank Moody receives oral sex from a nun in the series-opener -- have simply corrupted Duchnovy's mind. What to make, then, of 15-year-old Madeleine Martin's participation in a show where squirting is played for chuckles? I asked the young actress -- currently starring on Broadway in the Tony-winning August: Osage County -- how the show's producers can live with themselves after exposing her innocent little ears to lines like, "You can't snort a line of coke off a woman’s ass and not wonder about her hopes and dreams, it's not gentlemanly." I also asked her how she reacted to her TV dad's much-publicized admission to rehab for sex-addiction.

The first two episodes of Californication are already online before the show’s September 29 season 2 premiere. I watched them both the other night through the gauze of David Duchovny’s recent entry into rehab for sex addiction. It was bizarre seeing him play a character who’s constantly turning down sex from attractive extras (because of his character’s current involvement in a monogamous relationship) and wondering when exactly he propositioned them on set -- before or after they shot their scenes? I can't help but think that when an actress suggestively licked a popsicle to seduce Hank Moody, the real Duchovny must have been all riled up. Duchovny’s admission has sparked a debate of sorts on the nature of sex addiction.
