David Duchovny, who plays a sex-obsessed character on Showtime's Californication, has entered a rehabilitation facility for sex addiction.

The 48-year-old actor said he did so voluntarily, in a statement released by his lawyer, Stanton Stein. He added: "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

Mr. Duchovny's publicist, Flo Grace, confirmed the report, which first appeared on the Web site People.com.

"All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time," the network said in a prepared statement.

The second season of Californication begins Sept. 28.

He and his wife, actress Tea Leoni, have two children. The couple married in 1997.
