Kyle MacLachlan on Returning to ‘Twin Peaks’; Still Pursued by Bear
According to Director David Lynch, actor Kyle MacLachlan is "the person you trust to go into a strange world with.”
It is the strange world of Twin Peaks that Maclachlan is best known for. The series was recently revived by Showtime, with filming beginning this month. After months of rumors and uncertainty, the series co-creators David Lynch and Mark Frost, reached a deal with the network to produce more than nine new episodes. A premiere date has yet to be released, but the return of MacLachlan as special agent Cooper has been confirmed. The cult phenomenon the series has achieved in the subsequent years since it was first broadcast on ABC in 1990 is due in part to the mysterious main character. Throughout the show, MacLachlan takes common banal acts like drinking coffee seem much more than their obvious meanings. This talented acting is a staple to the absurdity of Twin Peaks, which earned him a Golden Globe award for best actor in a TV drama in 1991.
