A lawyer for David Duchovny said the actor has checked out of a rehabilitation facility for treatment of sex addiction.

Duchovny, who plays a sex-obsessed character in Californication, voluntarily entered the facility in late August.

Duchovny's lawyer Stanton Stein said the actor "is out of rehab and will be starting a movie soon".

Duchovny starred as the conspiracy-minded Fox Mulder in The X-Files TV series and in two films.

The 48-year-old actor and his wife, actress Tea Leoni, have two children.

The couple married in 1997.
