Jury's Out on Carla Gugino as Duchovny's Lawyer

Carla Gugina's best asset may not be her legal mind, but somehow she landed a gig as David Duchovny's lawyer on the upcoming season of "Californication."

How did that work?

PopcornBiz asked her if her sex appeal might have had anything to do with getting the job? "I don't know. You'd have to ask them that," she laughs. "I'm sure it helped."

Gugina spoke after just coming off the set of the Showtime program at the Chagoury Couture fashion show Wednesday night. She was beaming about working with David Duchovny: "It's so fun," she says. "It is a really funny show and it's also sexy."

That said, the actress who rocked "Entourage" as Adrian Grenier's agent and love interest was not wowing us with her legal speak. "I don't know if I can be very impressive that way," she says. "I can't dazzle you."

She's going to need to bone up real quick, because last we left off, Duchovny's character was in a lot of legal trouble at last season's finale.

"He's a really tricky client to have," says Gugina. "Look at his problems! That's a hard guy to defend."
