DAVID DUCHOVNY - DUCHOVNY PHONES IN HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

Former X-FILES star DAVID DUCHOVNY was too busy holidaying with his family to accept his Lifetime Achievement Award at the third annual Fire Island Golden Wagon Film Festival in New York City on Saturday (16JUL05), so he appeared via satellite.

The actor was enjoying a break with his wife TEA LEONI and their children in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and couldn't accept the award in person.

But he insisted in his speech that he was thrilled with the top honour: "I spent my summers as a kid in Fire Island from one to 16. I remember when people would arrive by ferry I'd be there with my red wagon trying to charge as much as I could to take their luggage to their houses."
