"Kyle MacLachlan (Washington, 66 years old) is not used to contemplating the apocalypse. It's enough to make it to the end of the day, the actor jokes from his Los Angeles home. In one hand, he holds a cup of black coffee a la Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks, and in the other, a fistful of nuts. I'm going to eat breakfast while we talk, he warns, with his habitual blend of amiability and oddity."
"The reason why David Lynch's eternal muse is thinking about the end of the world this early in the morning is Fallout, a Prime Video adaptation of the successful video game saga, whose second season recently premiered. MacLachlan's character is a scientist ready to betray his own family out of loyalty to Vault-Tec, a company profiting from nuclear catastrophe through its sales of bunkers."
"As a child, he lived through the tension of Cold War nuclear panic in Yakima, a remote town in Washington state. Everything came to us through television and film. You were always very anxious, always worried about what was happening elsewhere. But at the same time, it was a wonderful place and it was very safe to grow up there. You could spend the whole day with your friends on your bike and turn up at your house at night, he says."
Kyle MacLachlan, age 66, balances amiability and oddity while reflecting on apocalyptic themes. He sips black coffee like Agent Cooper and eats breakfast during conversation. The Prime Video series Fallout prompted the thoughts, with its second season recently released. His character is a scientist willing to betray family out of loyalty to Vault-Tec, a company profiteering from nuclear catastrophe by selling bunkers. MacLachlan grew up in Yakima, Washington, amid Cold War nuclear anxiety, where television amplified global fears. He remembers a safe, rural childhood of bike rides and camaraderie. That tense atmosphere informs many of his career choices and performances.
