Kyle MacLachlan (born February 22, 1959) is an American actor, best known for his role in cult films such as Blue Velvet and Showgirls, and television series including Twin Peaks and Desperate Housewives.

Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, Twin Peaks became a cult hit[2][3] and MacLachlan was twice nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series[4] and and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series Drama.[5] He reprised the role of Dale Cooper for Lynch's 1992 prequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me although he was reluctant to return for fear of being typecast.[6] The film marked his final collaboration with David Lynch.

He portrayed Zack Carey in Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls, which received "overwhelming dislike" from critics[7] and collected seven Golden Raspberry Awards from a record thirteen nominations.[8] In 2000, he returned to television, starring as Trey MacDougal in HBO's Sex and the City for twenty-three episodes. The following year, he voiced the character of Donald Love in the video game Grand Theft Auto III.
