David Duchovny feels he helped spark Angelina Jolie's Oscar-winning career after their work together on the 1997 neo-noir crime caper Playing God.
"I feel like I discovered Angelina Jolie. Because I was casting. I was part of the casting of [Playing God]. I didn't discover her, but you know, she came in and I just knew she was a movie star. I told everybody, 'We've gotta cast her!'"
The film was largely overlooked and critically panned at the time.
Jolie had already starred in the 1995 cult classic Hackers, which is widely considered to be her breakthrough role.
