Duchovny thanked his "The X-Files" creator Chris Carter as he received his star on January 25, reported Female First.
The 55-year-old actor rose to prominence as FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder during the sci-fi TV series' initial run from 1993 to 2002.
Carter was also in attendance.

"It's tangible and something that feels like it'll last a while. That's something special and something to reflect upon I think. I grew up on 11th Street and Second Avenue in New York and the Second Avenue Deli was [a block away].
"They had their own Walk of Fame in front of the deli with stars of David on the street. I thought maybe I'd get one of those one day, but this is even better.
