Kyle MacLachlan Biography
The "boy next door, if that boy spent lots of time alone in the basement," is how Rich Cohen described Kyle MacLachlan in a 1994 article for "Rolling Stone" magazine. That distinctly askew wholesomeness made MacLachlan a natural to become famous as the alter ego of twisted director David Lynch.

Born and a raised in Yakima, Washington, MacLachlan graduated from the University of Washington in 1982. The darkly handsome actor made his feature debut when he starred in the big-budget David Lynch adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune, but only enjoyed real success after appearing in a second Lynch project, the moody and perverse classic Blue Velvet.

The following year saw MacLachlan appearing as an otherworldly FBI agent in the cult classic sci-fi film The Hidden. This turned out to be a sign of things to come, as MacLachlan soon took on another oddball G-man, Special Agent Dale Cooper, on Lynch's cryptic ABC TV series _Twin Peaks (1990) (TV)_ , perhaps his most famous role. MacLachlan's remarkable work as Agent Cooper earned him a Golden Globe award and a pair of Emmy nominations, as well as steady work in television and films, including a part as Ray Manzarek in the Oliver Stone film The Doors and villain Cliff Vandercave in the live action version of The Flintstones.

His career took a hit after he appeared in the infamous flop Showgirls. However, MacLachlan returned to prominence in the early 2000s with a reoccurring role on HBO's Sex and the City, as well as a starring role in the TV movie The Spring and a turn as Claudius in director Michael Almereyda's version of _Hamlet (2000/I)_ . MacLachlan later took advantage of his resemblance to Cary Grant when he played the classic actor's spirit in Touch of Pink. MacLachlan has remained a popular actor with independent filmmakers.
