Kyle MacLachlan Biography

kyle maclachlan
  • Birth Place: Yakima, WA
  • Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign: 02/22/1959, Pisces
  • Profession: Actor
Although MacLachlan made an infamous movie debut in oddball director David Lynch's disastrous Dune, the two went on to have a fruitful collaboration. With everyman good looks and a pleasant, offbeat demeanor, MacLachlan became Lynch's muse, starring in the auteur's classic 1986 thriller Blue Velvet and in his groundbreaking TV show, Twin Peaks. MacLachlan earned two Emmy nods and a Golden Globe as the gung-ho FBI agent of Lynch's dreamlike series, although he didn't fare as well in the show's incoherent spin-off film. The cult actor continued to appear in indie flicks (Mike Figgis' Timecode, Michael Almereyda's Hamlet), but as the '90s wore on he appeared less frequently on the big screen, especially after his embarrassing, Razzie-nominated performance in the 1995 mega-bomb Showgirls. Instead, the square-jawed player found his niche on television, starring in a plethora of TV-movies and portraying romantic (if very flawed) leads on Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives. Off screen, MacLachlan kept up his lover-boy image, enjoying long-term relationships with two of his costars — Blue Velvet's Laura Dern and Twin Peaks' Lara Flynn Boyle — and one supermodel, Linda Evangelista, before marrying publicist Desiree Gruber in 2002.
