Twin Peaks Biographies
As taken from the Internet Movie Database
Kyle MacLachlan
Date of Birth: 22 February 1959,
Place of Birth: Yakima, Washington, USA
Height: 6’2”
Spouse: Desiree Gruber (April 20, 2002-present)
This steely-eyed actor is best known for playing the oddball FBI agent Dale Cooper in the media sensation of 1990 Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks was just another chapter in the saga of the amiable, assured MacLachlan as on-screen alter ego of director David Lynch, who first cast him as the messianic Paul Atreides in Dune (1984), and then as the small-town innocent caught up in the horrors of Blue Velvet (1986). He also played a goofy editor in Don't Tell Her It's Me (1990) and keyboardist Ray Manzarek in The Doors (1991). MacLachlan reprised his Dale Cooper characterization in the 1992 "Peaks" prequel, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. A low-key romantic drama, Rich in Love (1993), gave MacLachlan his warmest, most endearing role to date, as a young historian in a Southern coastal town. He then costarred in a remake of Kafka's The Trial (1993), The Flintstones (1994), and Showgirls (1995). MacLachlan made his debut behind the camera directing an episode of cable TV's Tales From the Crypt (1993).
· Graduated University of Washington with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts (1982).
· Has two younger brothers.
· He claims to be a direct descendant of Johann Sebastian Bach on his mother's side.
· He turned down the Charlie Sheen role in Platoon (1986).
· Dated Laura Dern and Lara Flynn Boyle. Also dated model Linda Evangelista (1992-1998), whom he met on the set of an ad for Barney's. They were engaged for three years.
· Dyes his hair jet black, due to the fact that he's totally gray naturally.
