"The X Files" stars sang together onstage at The Cutting Room in New York City, performing Neil Young's "Helpless" on the day Duchovny released his first album. The Golden Globe-winning actor sang lead while Anderson harmonized with his background singers and band.

"Can we play some real music please?" Anderson joked, joining in when Duchovny and his band returned for an encore performance at The Cutting Room.

"Is there anything you're in the mood for perhaps?" the actor asked the actress, who replied, "Do you guys know 'Helpless?'"

Duchovny gave Anderson a light kiss on the lips after the performance and whispered in her ear as she left the stage.

Anderson wasn't the only co-star to join Duchovny onstage: Madeleine Martin, who played Duchovny's daughter on the Showtime series "Californication," sang the new album's title track with her TV dad.
