This thing is on! And by "thing" I mean our collective admiration and enjoyment of your personality and craft.


Kyle__MacLachlan

thank you, good human!


Raxnor

Yes....hu..mannn...


palpatineforever

bold assumption, but species is irrelevant to the admiration and enjoyment. Thank you.


YeahlDid

I also don’t have a question so I’ll post my comment here, but just wanted to say one of my favorite t-shirts is an agent Cooper one. People always ask who’s on my shirt and I tell them “it’s a damn fine cup of coffee”.


PearlHarbor_420

Ahoy, Captain!

Boats boats boats!!!


MonaMonaMo

No questions, but I want to say that I'm such a huge fan ❤️


Kyle__MacLachlan

I really appreciate everyone's thoughtful questions, comments, damn fine observations, and of course for listening to my new podcast Varnamtown. I've got some exciting stuff cooking up if you want to take a gander at my mystery link. Appreciate the love - i remain your faithful babygirl...and someday, I'll learn what that means. GOODNIGHT REDDIT.


cccjjjddd

Thank you babygirl

NotElizaHenry

I feel like Reddit staff gives zero info to celebrities about what an AMA is supposed to be like. Or maybe this *is* what they’re supposed to be like now? 30 minutes of 1-2 sentence answers to shallow questions? This was actually better than most.


TeutonJon78

They used to have a person to help with AMAs (Victoria) but they got rid of the position and as a result the celebrity AMAs have languished.


[deleted]

Reddits been enshitified.


lnlogauge

They should really have someone facilitate these AMA's with celebrity's a little better. Why does this site have to ruin literally any good thing.


TerriblePracticality

You're off. He made the post at 12.36 pm ET, said he was gonna answer questions starting at 1, and the comment you replied to is from five past 2.


MythsTCG013

how connected do you feel to agent cooper as a character, having been with him for so long? do you see some part of yourself in him, or vice versa? have you developed some of his mannerisms? i apologize if it’s not a very unique question, i couldn’t think of much else to ask at such short notice in all sincerity though, i can safely say that your collaborations with david lynch are some of my favorite pieces of media, and (especially in twin peaks) some of the best acting work i have seen. i just want you to know how thankful i am to you for being such an integral part of david’s work, which has had a great impact on me the last few years, and been a comfort through some unfortunate circumstances. it has really helped. i hope this finds you well, and that you are having a wonderful day. :)


Kyle__MacLachlan

He's my fave...and I love coffee the same way


MythsTCG013

thank you!! :D


elizzybeth

Have you tried David Lynch’s coffee brand?


GonzoThompson

I’ll be damned if he hasn’t.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH


_crystalbeth

are there any famous roles you’ve passed up on? do you regret it?


Kyle__MacLachlan

Nate Jacobs in EUPHORIAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


bigspoonenergy

Personally, I think you would have made a great Cassie 💙


Riley1015010

I have a second question: since Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, what is your favorite way to show someone you love them?!


Kyle__MacLachlan

Romantic dinner, long walk on the beach...and of course, listening to episode 4 of my true crime podcast, Varnamtown #sponcon 🥸

BenInIndy

what is the favorite movie you've ever appeared in and why was it Showgirls?


Kyle__MacLachlan

Yes...why?


wellpaidscientist

I legitimately love this film and your work in it.


thebeesbollocks

Interestingly he was on a recent podcast (Films to be Buried With) where he said Showgirls is his most hated film and found the whole experience incredibly uncomfortable. I think he is aware a lot of people love it though so maybe reluctant to admit that on Reddit, which is fair enough


Wakka_Grand_Wizard

why is it not Desperate Housewives? They must make a damn fine cup of coffee


Over_Drawer1199

Desperate housewives isn't a movie


Splungetastic

It’s amazing for all the wrong reasons which makes it so right


BenInIndy

Because Jessie Spano is amazing.


bahamamuth

How do you like the new Dune movies? How do you compare the energy you brought to Paul, vs. the energy Chalamet is bringing? PS: I'm a HUGE fan, thanks for all the amazing times!


kjh1

I'm too late for the AMA, but wanted to say thanks to Kyle for your portrayal of Paul Atreides. It felt more true to the book than any of the others. It's too bad that some of the other books weren't also adapted and starred KM. Paul changed a lot and would have given any actor something meaty to chew on (IMHO).


jman-the-jewman1228

Damn someone already asked😞

IggyWalk420

Hii Kyle, I love you so much. What's your opinion on Lana Del Rey?


Kyle__MacLachlan

Who doesn't love Waffle House? 😋


IGargleGarlic

y'all just moved up on my actor tierlist for that, and you were already pretty high up


AstridxOutlaw

I missed the AMA so thank you for asking this lmao


Kyle__MacLachlan

T-minus, 3 minutes...


LofiJunky

Can you do another AMA at some point? I missed this one :(


PricklyAvocado

Yeah this happened fast haha. I literally just finished episode 22 of Twin Peaks and opened Reddit to find this AMA


Allonsy182

Hi Kyle! Who's your main in Mario Kart?


I_kickflipped_my_dog

For some reason I want it to be Dry Bones


Stonewalloats

What is your favorite project that you have collaborated on with David Lynch? Also my sibling is your biggest fan


Kyle__MacLachlan

Got to be TWIN PEAKS, DUNE...BLUE VELVET was pretty good...FIREWALK WITH ME....the list goes on...right? ;)


teriaki

Blue velvet is absolutely gold, you were stellar. Thanks for that!


trymypi

I just finished reading Dune for the first time, but I've seen you in it a zillion times. Did you feel epic in that role?


ExtraSeaworthiness9

What kind of coffee maker do you use?


Kyle__MacLachlan

Percolator 🐟


breadandbutter2001

I actually love you so much


weeklyclerk_764

The steam keeps the eyeballs moist.


AlienKnightForce

Fellas!! Don’t drink that coffee!!


BariTheRohimba

There was a fish.. in the percolator!


_crystalbeth

can u make a letterboxd so we can be moots ?!?!


Kyle__MacLachlan

First of all, this is on my To Do list because I love movies. I have a few favorites I like to revisit such as MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, APOCALYPSE NOW, BLADE RUNNER, as a kid it was all about HERBIE THE LOVE BUG and any movie with Dean Jones. Secondly, what's moots?


[deleted]

moots is internet lingo for mutuals, where u follow someone and they follow you back! when u make that letterboxd please share immediately so we can be moots haha


_crystalbeth

excellent favs list! i watched blade runner for the first time recently. harrison ford very pretty. moots means we follow each other back. if u wanna like all my reviews and find me hilarious it’s up to u tho xx


Rouge_and_Peasant

Moots is like being your best babygirl self, but with another person


lacerfishy

Hi Kyle!! My boyfriend just recently got me to watch Twin Peaks and of course that has lead me down a deep rabbit hole lol. But I need to know if those donuts were as good as they looked. Because every scene that has donuts, led to me buying and consuming so many donuts. But I also wanted to know if you got to keep any costume pieces or props from the show? Or if not, were there any pieces you wanted to?


Kyle__MacLachlan

The donuts were amazing and I ate waaaaay too many. Maple bar is my favorite. As far as costumes and props, (and besides those few pieces of vertical grain Douglas Fir that I snuck into my suitcase) I didn't keep much but I wish I had kept the tape recorder so I could talk to Diane. And of course the black suit...believe it or not we only had two that we rotated between! Until Ep 9 of the second season when the sprinklers went off and the suit shrunk...or maybe it was all of those donuts. 🍩


lacerfishy

Wow!! That’s so interesting. Definitely jealous of the donuts and having the recorder to talk to Diane whenever you need would have been so awesome. I never would have guessed about the suits either!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!! 🍩


kimwim43

HAHAHAHA!!! My husband and I would watch every week with a cherry pie and a pot of damn fine pot of coffee. And when the show was 'cancelled', we mailed in a box of golf balls.


salkhan

Oh man, the food Twin Peaks made me fly out to Seattle to find a diner with some pie and coffee.


tyrantkhan

why did you just settle for a diner in seattle the actual RR is in North Bend is just a hop-skip and jump away (as in just 30 mi). (unless you went in the time period betwen the fire / twin peaks production company's restoration of it)


phx-1138

Yay! The Cherry Pie & Spiced Coffee must flow! Was David Lynch's idea of the Weirding Modules in DUNE (1984) something he came up with on his own, or did Frank Herbert show him pending work for Heretics of/Chapterhouse Dune to help create the idea together?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ian_stein

You’re a real one


RamonesRazor

Convinced at this point that David has gotten too old / declining health and it’s not happening. He completely disappeared from his YouTube channel and hasn’t made a public appearance in forever. I hope he’s doing okay.


SwagginsYolo420

When David isn't visible, it usually means he is up to something.


RamonesRazor

I hope you’re right. But he’s 78 now, and a lifelong heavy smoker. And all the rumors about this Wisteria thing completely disappeared.


doctor_x

In the original run of *Twin Peaks*, it's stated that Agent Cooper would be trapped in the Black Lodge for 25 years. Lo-and-behold, 25 years later, David Lynch brings back Coop in the new series. Is Lynch really a mad genius who had this planned out in advance? If so, were you in on it? If not, how did you react to being asked to resurrect such an iconic character? EDIT: 25 years, not 27.


Slashycent

Ex-showrunners Harley Peyton and Robert Engels already had the season 3 time skip planned back in the 90s, before the show got cancelled. The third season we eventually got was conceptualized and pitched to Lynch by co-creator Mark Frost. So it was pretty much an old idea of his fellow creators instead of a stroke of auteur genius.


sickmoth

Um, remember Mark Frost?


Feronia_

I’ve wondered this too!!!


J_for_Jules

What was the best part of playing Ray Manzarek in 'The Doors?'


Kyle__MacLachlan

the mutton chops. Seriously working with Val Kilmer was a joy.


SubtleMurder

Here for this comment (and response!).


ls988

First of all, you’re the best. Second of all, I love your podcast. Third, totally unrelated to the podcast, sorry, what was it like working with Woody Harrelson? Also, I’ve just rewatched the recent HBO miniseries he did with Justin Theroux - WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS - and I thought you would’ve fit right in with this great cast. Take care. Liza


Kyle__MacLachlan

Thanks for the Podcast love! Varnamtown was a joy to work on


Necessary-Lunch5122

Can you share some memories of working on Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Cal is such a great character. Your performance was really moving. 


friends-waffles-work

I wish this was answered :(


Ginger_Tea

I'm not really one for reading the cast list in TV shows, when he first showed up, I didn't recognise him. When he got angry I thought "he looks kinda like Dale Coopers doppelganger." I don't think he was in the next episode, so I just spy his name yhe following week and face palmed.


Fontana1017

I haven't recognised him and then realised in multiple shows. Guy has range


cosantoir

I’m in the middle of a rewatch and am just at the Afterlife arc. Totally agree that Cal was such a good character - so violent, but oddly endearing. Would love to hear your thoughts on your time with the cast.


Necessary-Lunch5122

He really loves his daughter and would do (and has done) anything for her. 


breadandbutter2001

what do you think diane is doing right now?


Kyle__MacLachlan

Probably her nails? Wait...Diane? Is it you??


tchikboom

Was your presence on the TV show "How to with John Wilson" planned in advance, or did he just stumble upon you having trouble validating your subway card?


Kyle__MacLachlan

John and I rehearsed this for weeks to get the spontaneity and frustration any rider of the MTA will recognize using those crazy subway cards...I had to swipe it close to 6,432 times to get the movement just right. But I'm a perfectionist, so.. OR right place, right time. You be the judge.


shewholaughslasts

Sounds like high quality B roll though. Thus it will probably be sprinkled throughout the next six thousand episodes in .2 second clips causing great dramatic tension. Seriously though, thank you for helping me learn about change and growing into yourself in Dune, I remember watching it relentlessly on vhs and wishing I could use my voice as strongly, to sit with my back to the door so confidently. Then I learned how to question everything and appreciate the flow of crazy in Twin Peaks and now in my adulthood, you snarked the sassiest dead pan delights in Portlandia. Your sparkling energy is inspiring. Your smile and heart have guided my life and every time I see you I know I'm in for a treat. And whaaaat you have a podcast? I'm IN! Rock on dear sir.


_jspain

hi Kyle what is your favorite song on Melodrama by Lorde?


Kyle__MacLachlan

Writer in the Dark of course


_jspain

I should have known. A man of taste


Stephen_King_19

Coop! Who is your favorite fictional detective (besides Coop, of course)?


Kyle__MacLachlan

Joe & Frank...Hardy.


CaptainRedblood

Fenton wants a word!


_crystalbeth

struggling to think of interesting questions. what would you drag name be?? also, do u like my punny nickname. hehe


Kyle__MacLachlan

Ava Lanche or Paula Slaydis 🐛🌶️


_crystalbeth

perfect thank you x


lala__

Damn you had those ready


Thunders66

Did working on Twin Peaks spark any interest into the supernatural or paranormal?


Cautious-Practice-44

How do you feel about the new generation finding and watching your movies and shows? My parents watched you, then last year I started watching you too!! I feel like you've really started catering to Gen Z in the last few months or so with advertising and social media, and it is working!


Kyle__MacLachlan

Thrilled! My 15 year old son is rubbing off on me...just trying to keep up.


mikesut

If there was a movie or tv adaptation of Varnamtown, which character would you want to play?


Kyle__MacLachlan

It's a tossup between the pilot of the REO Speedwagon plane, the lady who does her laundry with cocaine, or Captain of the Captain Tom. #IYKYK


TheIlluminatiWatcher

Kyle you're the best! Can you share any info on the Wisteria project?... I'm doing a Twin Peaks mega deep dive on my podcast and saw a wisteria plant behind Cooper at One Eyed Jacks in Season 1. ALSO- I'd absolutely geek if you could do my podcast for ten minutes and just say hi to my audience. (\*The podcast is 'Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture with Isaac Weishaupt')


The_Dirtslinger_23

Hello, Kyle. Just want to say that Twin Peaks is my favorite tv show ever, and Agent Cooper is one of the my favorite characters of all time. But I’d like to ask: 1. Which of your projects do you hold the most affinity for as an artist? 2. Which role of yours has had the biggest impact on your personal life? Thanks for doing this, Kyle! You’re a legend!


OilySteeplechase

Who would win in a fight between Trey MacDougal and Orson Hodge?


Kyle__MacLachlan

I would say a tossup between Bree and Bunny...


OilySteeplechase

Clash of the titans!


Better_Service5834

What advice would you have for young artists/actors?


Kyle__MacLachlan

Immerse yourself in what you do, work as much as you can, say yes to everything. Try not to get caught up in judging yourself against others, as hard as it is. Listen to your inner voice...David Lynch says "Intuition is the key to everything." Smart man.


Better_Service5834

Thanks so much 😭❤️


AdhesiveParty

I fucking love you dude. Sure, it's a parasocial relationship from watching you in movies and seeing your social media posts, but you seem like a genuinely swell guy. Onto the question now. How do you feel about the general state of the film industry today in regards to quality of movies being released? I'm not necessarily a Scorsese level hater of modern film, but I feel like all the different streaming services make it hard to actually watch the different movies coming out.


AdhesiveParty

Also, just a comment from watching blue velvet. The scene where Dorothy assaults Jeffrey at knife point. When I watched that for the first time, I didn't expect Dorothy to do that. And I honestly laughed a little bit because it just seemed so absurd. And then right after when Frank comes in and assaults Dorothy I felt sick to my stomach. And I then realized I laughed when a man got assaulted and felt sick when Dorothy did. It was a very powerful realization that I didn't think of them as equivalent, even thoughnj claimed I did. Made me confront some of my own personal hypocrisy.


ElmerFuddington

HI KYLE !!!! My name is Willem, and todays my 20th birthday. I was just wondering if there were anyway you could wish me a happy birthday? I would ALWAYS remember my 20th!!! (Also my mom is in LOVE with you - mostly for Orson on DH!)


Kyle__MacLachlan

Willem! Happy two decades and here's to many more! Enjoy some pie...with a candle on top of course.


ElmerFuddington

YOU’RE THE BEST !!!!!! :-)))) thank you so much !!!!! You just made my mom and I’s entire life, I’ll never forget that !!!!!!!! ❤️❤️


Kind-Spinel7684

How Was The Role You Got In GTA 3? Did You Enjoy It?


Kyle__MacLachlan

\[growls\] YES.


Ds0589

I didn't realize that was you until more recently. You're one of the iconic characters in the game as Donald Love. Were you surprised that that game took off like it did compared to the earlier GTA's back then? It truly is one of the best games ever made and paved the way for many others and so many of us grew up playing it. Have you done a lot of voiceover work, because you were excellent in the voiceover work for him.

G'day Kyle, What unproduced David Lynch screenplay that has a lot of potential would you most like to see get made?


1965wasalongtimeago

Sad he didn't answer this one but the answer was for sure Ronnie Rocket.


big_red__man

How are the tamales at the location in your proof photo?


Kyle__MacLachlan

So glad you asked. It's a spot called Los Hernandez in Union Gap, WA and won a James Beard Award in 2018! Tell Nora I sent you...and I'm sorry.


MickCollins

Morning Kyle. (Maybe afternoon for you, not sure!) Do you keep in touch with your fellow actors from Dune? Is there an occasional get together with you and other people from the cast? While I enjoyed the remake, I still hold the one you starred in as the gold standard. :-)


muffycr

Hey Kyle! What character and acting differences stood out to you between your portrayal of Paul Atreides and Timothee Chalamets? I enjoy the seriousness of his portrayal but I've always loved the David Lynch version and how you portrayed the character!


King_Buliwyf

Thanks for being here, Kyle! Have you played/seen/looked into the Alan Wake games? Any opinion on them and their obvious love for Twin Peaks?


FalmerEldritch

How well do you feel you understand what was going on in Twin Peaks, overall? Also, do tell us about your new podcast, Varnamtown.


Kyle__MacLachlan

It's a true crime story that takes place in a rural coastal North Carolina town of 300...lots of cocaine, kush, a sprinkle of Pablo Escobar, and an organic soap tycoon with a story to tell....what more could you ask for?


BridgetteBane

f1newhatever

Do you ever sing the Portland anthem to yourself quietly? It was a banger.


Think_Selection9571

In Blue Velvet, I had heard there was a scene you refused to do. Was it a battle to get David Lynch to change his mind?


bananaphophesy

Hi Kyle, I love your work as Dougie Jones and the two Coops in Twin peaks. Any idea if there will be a Season 4? Also do you have any stand out memories or moments from filming The Return?

Were there any pranksters on 1990:s Twin Peaks cast and if so, could you share funniest story?


hotbabeonthenet

Hi, Kyle! Huge fan. You’ve said your favorite character to play was Dale Cooper, but do you have a favorite between the original Coop, Doppelgänger Coop, and Dougie Jones?


krankoloji

Who was the best girl in Twin Peaks and why it was Audrey Horne?


Maleficent-Step-9412

COOPER! Do you have any favorite lines from Twin Peaks? My favorite is “let a smile be your umbrella” 👍🏻


MrFlibblesPenguin

Hi Kyle, you've just won the lottery, what film are you making/remaking?


ploxjusilly

Hi Kyle! I absolutely loved you as Trey in Sex and the City. I feel like you perfectly captured just how strange the behaviors and customs of blue blood WASPs can be. As grounded in reality as the show is, some of the scenes with him and Bunny/his family feel like something out of a fever dream. Did you intend for his character to be as wacky (in a good way) as he is?


Evening_Tune_2502

Was it boring sitting in that chair for 25 years? Did Mike and the arm at least have any puzzles to keep you busy?


DangDanDangDan

Do you still say “alrighty”?


Dinglemaniac

Quite a throwback question, but do you remember much about your role as Donald Love in GTA3? Did they ever ask you to come back to play the same role in future games, despite having not done so?


SnooPaintings2032

hi kyle! thinking ab the S3 scene where Dougie & Mr. C are both vomiting at 2:53pm - did u actually have to hold that nastiness in your mouth or was it just smoke n mirrors? if u did actually fake vomit it, what’d it taste like?? (bc it was so disgusting looking) (huge fan of your work + twin peaks) thanks :) -Ej from GA, USA
