For David Duchovny, the appeal of his new psychological thriller Malice was its gripping tale of retribution, writes Siobhan Duck

THERE’S no better place to stage the ultimate revenge act than in the Greek Islands, says David Duchovny. The US actor’s psychological thriller Malice was filmed on the island of Paros, and sees the former star of The X-Files playing brash venture capitalist Jamie Tanner, whose perfect family life is white-anted by their new “manny”, Adam (British actor and comedian Jack Whitehall). What Adam has against the Tanners, and the disturbing lengths to which he will go to wreak havoc on their lives, slowly plays out over the six- episode series.

David Duchovny is back on our screens for Malice and is looking super-fit at 65, but the X-Files and Californication star tells M&F that he wasn’t always a fan of lifting weights.

The "Malice" star shunned past prejudices to prep his body for the screen.

For Prime Video’s new psychological thriller, Duchovny plays a rich dad who hastily appoints a mysterious nanny, played by Jack Whitehall. And—as the six gripping episodes unfold, it soon becomes clear that the nanny has bad intentions for the very family that he’s been entrusted to support. The show, partially filmed in Greece, required Duchovny to appear shirtless but at 65 years young, this professional actor’s consistent effort to stay in shape meant that he was never nervous. Still, a love of lifting weights didn’t arrive until his 40s.

US Weekly: 'Malice' It’s Better Than ‘The White Lotus’

From The White Lotus to Patricia Highsmith‘s Ripley books, I can’t get enough of rich people being made to suffer. Prime Video’s newest show, Malice, is right up that same alley. It stars Jack Whitehall as a young man who ingratiates himself with a wealthy family for nefarious purposes.
