Kyle MacLachlan

Graduated University of Washington with a bachelors degree in Fine Arts .

Has two younger brothers.

Kyle has Scottish, English, Cornish, and German ancestry. He has, perhaps jokingly, stated that he could be a direct descendant of composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), through Kyles maternal great-grandmother, Henrietta Bach. However, Henrietta was descended, through her own patrilineal line, from a man named Johann Christoph Bach, born in Germany in the late 1600s. Thus, Kyle is not a direct descendant of Johann Sebastian Bach (at least through that line).

He turned down the Charlie Sheen role in Platoon .

Often stars in David Lynch films such as Dune , Blue Velvet , Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me , and the television series "Twin Peaks" , originated by Lynch and Mark Frost.

Married Desiree Gruber at Plymouth Congregational Church in Miami, Florida (her hometown).

Director Bruce Beresford said about him: "Kyle wears his handsomeness easily; he doesnt carry on. And hes not a boring man. Hes ordinary but interesting, which is difficult to find."

Graduated 1977 from Eisenhower High School in Yakima, Washington.

Kyle and his wife, Desiree Gruber , became the parents of their first child, a son named Callum Lyon MacLachlan, on July 25, 2008. Callum weighed in at 8 lbs. 6 oz.

Brother of Craig MacLachlan and Kent MacLachlan.

Spells his last name differently than his father Kent McLachlan, who died in 2011 at age 77.

(May 2008) In Sydney, Australia, filming Maos Last Dancer .

The name of his winery, "Pursued by Bear," was suggested one evening over dinner by Fred Savage , referring to a stage direction in a Shakespeare play. As the story goes, Shakespeare only ever wrote one stage direction in any of his plays (that job was generally left for stage managers), as included in "The Winters Tale": "Exit, pursued by bear".

Owns a vineyard and winery in the Columbia Valley of Washington State with business partner Eric Dunham. Other than his well known love of wine, his main reason for purchasing a vineyard was to spend more time with his father, Kent McLachlan, who had recently retired from being an attorney and stock broker.

He maintains a website for his familys two dogs (a Jack Russell terrier and a Yorkie/Chihuahua mixed breed), mookieandsam.com, who also have their own YouTube series.

Living with his wife Desiree, and son Callum, in Manhattan, New York City, NY and Columbia Valley, Washington State.

In one of his roles, as the fictional Mayor of Portland, Oregon, on the Independent Film Channel series "Portlandia" , he co-stars with Sarah McLachlan , who spells her last name the same as his father, Kent McLachlan, but is no relation.

When his son, Callum, was born in 2008, he created a new wine vintage at his winery called "Baby Bear".

[Laughs. ] It has a couple of moments in it that are pretty wild. And I,gotta say that, when I was watching the actual shows that they created,I was like, "Hey, this is a Vegas show!" I was watching it from the,audience, and it was amazing, what they were able to create. But,reduced down to its elements, it was, uh, not one of my finer attempts.

The most appealing thing to me about food is combining and layering flavors, tastes, and textures. So the perfect sandwich has to be toasted. It has to have Emmenthal Swiss cheese and a combination of sweet and savory - some cranberry or fig thing happening - with different kinds of meats like Black Forest ham and roast beef.
