Evan Handler

Actor and author Evan Handler's new book, It's Only Temporary, is both a deeply personal memoir and a series of meditations on life, love, faith, gratitude, and mortality. In closely examining his own triumphs, mistakes, and less-than-ideal relationships since his miraculous recovery from a supposedly incurable leukemia more than twenty years ago, Handler zeroes in on the most profound question facing every human being: How can a person live well...

Sophisticated and unique, this comedy centers on novelist Hank Moody (David Duchovny) who struggles to raise his 13-year-old daughter, while still carrying a torch for his ex-girlfriend. His obsession with truth-telling and self destructive behavior -- drinks drugs and relationships -- are both destroying and enriching to his career.

The final season will find Hank joining the writer's room as his never-released film Santa Monica Cop now becomes a television series of the same name. He's riled frequently by his boss, the show's old-school executive producer Rick Rath, and his fellow writing team members. But he's thrown by the reemergence of old friend Julia, whose arrival causes chaos in Hank's already hectic life and with his on-off relationship with Karen.
