Kyle MacLachlan

Kyle MacLachlan is an actor known for his frequent collaborations with visionary filmmaker David Lynch. A native of Yakima, Washington, he attained overnight success upon making his screen debut in the adaptation of the science fiction epic "Dune," directed by Lynch. He went on to star in Lynch's cinematic masterpiece, "Blue Velvet" as well as his ground-breaking tv series "Twin Peaks," for which MacLachlan received two Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe Award. MacLachlan reprised the role of Agent Dale Cooper in the Showtime limited series revival of "Twin Peaks," where the story continued 25 years later.

Other notable film performances include Ray Manzarek in "The Doors," Cliff Vandercave in "The Flintstones" and the voice of the Dad in Pixar’s "Inside Out." On the small screen, MacLachlan has appeared in the highly acclaimed television series "Desperate Housewives," "Sex and the City" and "Portlandia" as well as the Emmy Award-winning limited series "Atlantic Crossing," where he played President Franklin Roosevelt.

Beyond acting, MacLachlan -- in partnership with Epic Magazine, Picture Perfect Federation, Full Picture, and PodcastOne -- launched a hit true crime podcast called "Varnamtown" that examines what happens when drugs, money and a town-wide deal with Pablo Escobar come to a sleepy fishing village in the 1980s. "Varnamtown" debuted at #5 on the True Crime charts and is a Top 25 Podcast overall. MacLachlan’s social media adventures surrounding the podcast’s launch garnered him the endearment of Gen Z and press coverage by Vulture, The Daily Mail, Us Magazine, The Today Show, and more.

A dedicated wine lover, MacLachlan partners with vintner Eric Dunham in Pursued by Bear, a winery in Washington's Columbia Valley. The name, suggested over dinner by actor/director Fred Savage, comes from a stage direction ("Exit, pursued by a bear") in Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale."

A steadfast believer in giving back, MacLachlan is a longtime supporter of such organizations as God’s Love We Deliver, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, UNICEF, and the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s Stand Up to Cancer program.
