Kyle MacLachlan

Kyle MacLachlan is an actor, podcaster, winemaker, and internet sensation whose career spans over four decades, marked by an array of distinctive roles across television, film, and voice work. 

A native of Yakima, Washington, MacLachlan made his screen debut in David Lynch directed projects Dune (1984), BLUE VELVET (1986), and Twin Peaks (1990) — where his role as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper cemented him in the pop culture lexicon and for which he received two Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe Award.

Working with some of cinema’s most celebrated directors, MacLachlan has had the opportunity to bring a wide range of characters to life in The Doors (1991), The Flintstones (1994), Showgirls (1995), Inside Out (2015), Confess, Fletch (2022), Inside Out 2 (2024), and Blink Twice (2024).

Kyle’s television credits include Sex & the City (2002), Desperate Housewives (2004), How I Met Your Mother (2010), Portlandia (2011), returning to the role of Agent Cooper in the revival of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017), Atlantic Crossing (2021), Joe vs. Carole (2022), the highly-acclaimed Amazon Prime Video series Fallout (2024), and the upcoming comedy Overcompensating (2025).

Beyond acting, the ever-restless MacLachlan is ambitiously expanding his storytelling prowess by producing his own roster of projects across film, TV, audio, and social media — launching his award-winning Varnamtown podcast with Epic Magazine (2024), and several forthcoming and highly-anticipated projects. In 2024, Kyle reinvented himself on social media as a Gen-Z darling via his viral clips that sparked connections with notable names such as Charli XCX, Lorde, and Benito Skinner.

When not on screen or in front of a microphone, Kyle combines process, patience, and creativity as the proud proprietor of his own wine label, Pursued by Bear, produced in Washington State and extremely well-regarded by wine aficionados around the world.

Of all the roles he has had the privilege to take on, Kyle is most proud to be a husband to his wife, Desiree, a father to their son, Callum, and a dog dad to Bailey and Elvis.
