A recent Supreme Court Title IX ruling giving him the right to sue for being fired has made Roderick Jackson a champion of gender equity. In '99, Jackson started coaching the girls' basketball team at Ensley High in Birmingham, AL. After complaining about the disparities between the girls' and boys' teams, he was let go as coach. He sued, under the landmark Title IX law, but lower federal courts ruled against him. Jackson recently accepted an award from the National Women's Law Center, which represented him in court.

Crossing over to the big screen, Duchovny's film credits include Return To Me and Full Frontal. He makes his film directorial and writing debut with the coming-of-age drama, House of D.
