We will learn how he managed to transition from the small to the big screen and how the fame that comes with success in this industry affected his life.
We've all been hooked on a TV series at one point or another. The small screen, once overshadowed by cinema, has come to life again and in many cases has surpassed the film industry thanks to Netflix, HBO, and the like, who have managed to infuse it with the necessary ingredients to captivate vast audiences. Before them, few series had achieved a similar feat. Among those, "The X-Files" (or "Expediente X") stands out as one of the first to transition from a TV show to a cinematic film. In this lecture, the lead actor of the series, David Duchovny, will share what made that series so significant and why it was followed by so many millions of viewers around the world.
