Singing is a drag as David goes straight.

In Connie and Carla, which stars Nia Vardalos and Toni Collette in
the  title  roles, practically character in the  movie,  with  the
exception of David Duchovny, sings and dances.

The  film  is about two singers (Vardalos and Collette)  who  hide
from mob killers by posing as drag performers. Please , dont ask!

Duchovny  is  the straight guy, as it were, who sees something  he
likes in one of them.

'The  character that i'm playing has to function as  the  guy  who
doesn't  get  involved with all the fun. If i  start  singing  and
dancing  and wearing dressess, then i'm reality goes  out  of  the
window' the actor , who nmade his name as agent Fox Mulder in  The
X-Files, told me.

I  wasn't  exactly  keen  to see him in a  frock  anyway.  But  he
insisted : ' I'm better in a dress than I am singing '.
Well, OK then.

Ms  Vardalos, who wrote and starred in the record breaking  comedy
My  Big Fat Greek Wedding, performed the same duties on Connie and
Carla. She sent Duchovny the script, and he says he liked the  way
that the laughs come out of how the characters are written.

Essentially, the film's about what the actors terms 'tolerance and
a spoonful of sugar'.
Just so.

He's  peeved about the lack of dramas on TV and how reality  shows
have  swamped the networks, although he admits he'd probably watch
Big Brother before he watches paint dry.
'  I  can  see  the allure and i guess we all like to  see  people
humilate  themselves.  I don't call them "reality  shows"  because
they  don't  have anything to do with reality, I  just  call  them
unscripted', he added.

Anyway,  he has been writing, directing and appearing in  his  own
work--a film called The House of D wa shown to the market  at  the
Cannes  Film Festival and he hopes to write and direct  more,  and
probably do another X-Files movie.

Connie and Carla opens on June 11.
