Acclaimed actor Kyle MacLachlan has brought indelible charm and a quirky sophistication to some of film and television’s most memorable roles. Since 2005, MacLachlan has channeled his strong interest in the world of wine into a second, equally satisfying professional pursuit, as winery owner and vintner of Pursued by Bear wines. A native of Yakima, Washington, located in the heart of the Columbia Valley wine appellation, MacLachlan has produced five highly rated wines: Pursued by Bear Cabernet Sauvignon, Baby Bear Syrah, Bear Cub Red, Twin Bear Cabernet Sauvignon and Blushing Bear Rosé. MacLachlan is perhaps best known for his performance as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper in David Lynch’s ground-breaking series Twin Peaks, for which he received two Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe Award. MacLachlan reprised that role with the revival of Twin Peaks, where the story continues 25 years later and was again nominated for a Golden Globe in 2017 for playing three different characters.
MacLachlan made his feature film debut in the science fiction classic Dune. This was followed by a second collaboration with Lynch in the critically acclaimed film, Blue Velvet. A few of his other favorite film performances include Ray Manzarek in The Doors; Cliff Vandercave in The Flintstones; the voice of the Dad in Pixar’s Inside Out; Thomas Edison in Tesla; and as FDR in the upcoming release of the TV series, Atlantic Crossing for PBS. On television, MacLachlan starred in Desperate Housewives and Sex & The City, and more recently has appeared on Portlandia, How I Met Your Mother, The Good Wife, and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. MacLachlan is a steadfast believer in giving back and 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. He resides in New York City and Los Angeles with his wife, Full Picture Founder & CEO Desiree Gruber, and their son, Callum, along with their two dogs, Bailey and Elvis.
